Over coming Disunity

Hello Dear Friends. I'd like to talk to you about how God has been working in me throughout this, just gone by, weekend. May 27th many Bond-servant from House of the Gospel are Flying to Ukraine for this summer to be united as Christians, in a manner Christ is in GOD; this way the world will know that God sent Christ, the son of God, and That He Loves the world. Namely we are looking forward to spend time evangelizing and leading Children’s Camps. So this weekend a group of 9 People went up to Shaver Lake, CA, to spend time preparing the entire Program for camps, learn and live the lessons we are going to be teaching children in Ukraine.

The retreat was prosperous and successful the first day because all we did was spent time uniting and finding areas in our lives that keep us from uniting with one another. The Next day Saturday Morning, We began planning and preparing and planning and preparing... Throughout this time i felt my soul to be downcast. We were more focused on getting ready then on The Glory of our Father. I felt this huge distance between our missions team. We were all focusing in different directions.April 26th was a day that showed us where we failed. We didn’t have a heart of service towards one another.I noticed problems like these in many forms. Here are a few: There were area's we couldn’t make Agreements, we had a hard time making Decision, Fulfilling required Roles, Relying on God Alone; we thought that our works will accomplish what we needed to prepare, we pushed Humility in the Back of our Minds; No Poverty in spirit, we had a hard time Asking for Help from one another; helping each other.
I couldn’t hold it in. I saw what was happening. I knew that this group needed to stop or else we would have shamed the name of GOD in Ukraine.After listening to the prayer of Christ for believers, in gospel of John chapter 17, God through the Holy Spirit performed a changing Work. The group was so broken that no one could keep their tears in. Just read that prayer of Christ and imagine to yourself a group that wasn’t being united. It hurt me.At the End of the night we shared our testimonies and we were so amazed at the work of God in each other’s lives.
I left that retreat seeing everyone completely differently. It’s like i never knew them before. God so changed us it was amazing. Please pray that He continues to do so. This group learned to Hate sin and Love that which is pure and HOLY!Hear is a link to see the pictures from the retreat and other things this Group is involved in. How we are reaching out to the world around us and how we’re enjoying the world that God gave us.
