THE BRIDGE

THE BRIDGE

God is super.

and i am super sore. :p

after my exam on saturday, i went straight to my church to finish building a “set” for our chinese outreach. it was a relatively simple set. a “bridge” made of particle board and latex paint had already been built the sunday before. all that was left to do was a row of grass to line the front of the stage and frame the bridge. theoretically, that seemed simple enough. just paint the grass on cardboard, cut it out with an x-acto knife and add some shadows and highlights. yeah. only 7 hours of squatting! lol. and 30+ feet of grass wasn’t that easy to cut, either. :T

but it was ALL worth it. every little muscle strain. last night, when over 70 new families came to hear the gospel and a seemingly endless stream of people lined up to cross the bridge as a symbol of their commitment to Christ, all of us who’d worked so hard to put the night together could not help but smile and hold back the tears. Spirit-filled is the only way i can describe it. another thing that encouraged me was the way our church worked in unity. even though i’m from the english congregation and the outreach was in chinese, i still felt such a sense of belonging. my heart is truly overflowing with praise. :>
