Encounter

I was able to serve on my first encounter retreat in Lebanon this past weekend and it was absolutely amazing.
We had over 60 participants attend the encounter. We had around 20 from Syria and their spiritual hunger was incredible. Our Assoicate Pastor at Abundant life preached on the Cross during one of the sessions and the anointing was powerful. I have never truly felt anything like it. The participants began to weep before he even finished. The Lord showed up in a very tangible way. Then Our Senior Pastor led the session titled the Holy Spirit and revelation was flowing. He really opened up some scriptures to me and while he prayed for the participants you really could feel the fire of God consume His people.
I truly am honored to serve with these believers and I am so thankful God brought me to Lebanon.
I'll be leaving in three weeks to attend New Hope's annual mission conference and the Pastor will be with us this year and I can't wait. I am so excited to see all of my friends and family again. Its been over five months now.
I love every one of you and am so thankful for each and everyone's prayers and gifts during my stay here. I truly cannot express my gratitude in words.

Blessings on you all.
