The bible reminds us that there is a season for everything. As the leaves turn goldebn brown in Kremenets the vista over these majestic Hills reminds us that God is gloriously active, sovereign and faithful. The seasonal rhythm and God's day by day provision has not been stopped by covid. In this morning's church time together we gave God thanks for our reunion 18 months later than originally planned. There is a great sense that whilst we are realistic about all the challenges of recent months, growth in churches, new pastors into ministry, strategic partnerships for church planting have all grown abnormally. God's ways are not our ways, his plans have been bigger and better.
Kremenets is a place full of rich history, gorgeous architecture. Having had an awesome historical quick tour of Lviv yesterday, this afternoon we had the privilege of the same in Kremenets. Brilliant banter from the younger end of the crew, illustrates what a beautiful team God has brought together. His orchestration is so wide and varied, he brings all kinds of folks together and makes us one without barriers, he orchestrates a symphony of autumn colour to take your breath away, he dovetails different preachers to preach a unified single message from two different passages, he organises church planters in 5 countries to have the same frontier passion and mutual plan all at the same time. Look with eyes of faith and you will not find an end of things to thank God for in the ordinary and extraordinary things of each day.
We had the privilege also of singing for our friends in church today - expressing what we are all feeling...
O PRAISE THE NAME OF THE LORD OUR GOD
