First day at Hillsong and it was AMAZING! The church is located in another Township about an hour from where I stay so my driver dropped me off and away to work I went! Their actually in the midst of starting a new church which will actually be opening THIS SUNDAY! Super cool to be apart of the team! Everyone is beyond friendly and SO in love with the Lord!
Might sound funny and insignificant but there were 2 guys climbing ladders trying to hang posters and banners and the one is apparently deathly afraid of heights so his buddy was saying that "Through Christ anything is possible" and the way he said it so freely and openly just blew me away! I know as Christians were suppose to openly talk about our faith and not be ashamed, but can I ask when the last time you did that was? I'm not trying to point fingers because i'm just as guilty, its just a thought that was on my mind. It has really challenged me to consciously make an effort to mention Jesus Christ in my everyday life because He should be glorified in everything we do, right? My youth pastor would always tell us that if people aren't making fun of you or questioning you then your not doing the whole Christianity thing right. Were not meant to fit in and hide in the back ground...were suppose to be different, be a LIGHT, share the word, and love your neighbour as your self. I'm challenged with this everyday. Sometimes while i'm painting with the kiddies or feeding a child with autism it doesn't feel like i'm impacting that child's life too much because i'm not building them a better home or buying them a car to get around. I have to remember that I can't help everyone. I can only give what I can and I must keep my eyes fixed on the Lord and let him show me daily what He wants me to learn or what He wants me to teach someone. It can be a simple comment to a child that he or she may never hear at home. My work IS significant even if i'm just mopping the floors or cleaning windows at the Hillsong church because I know that on Sunday so many people will hear God for the first time and lives will be changed because of the willingness of so many volunteers. Every morning this is what I ask God to show me...a small way I can make a difference. This week has been very spiritually awakening and eye ball opening! WOW God is doing so many amazing things here! Yes, the townships are dangerous but so far i've been blessed beyond measure and have been kept safe in the hands of God. Thank you for all your prayers! You are all so amazing and I couldn't have gotten here without you or even continued to move forward without your love and support as being away from home can be tough at times. Miss you all! In Christ, Hannah
