We Get To Sing!

Tonight, Refuge (The a capella group I sing with) will be singing at St. Paul's Missionary Baptist Church in West Point. I am excited about this oppurtunity. Why? Well, I get excited about every oppurtunity to sing, but this is an even greater oppurtunity, because it will allow us to try and work on bridging the gaps in the black and white Christian community in West Point. It started when we sang for Black History month at Central School in West Point. You can read the post about that here. It is a youth event so once again we will be singing for a lot of young people, although this crowd may be a little older (jr. high to high school). I'm anxious to see how well they accept it.

It was brought to my attention that there is some tension between the black and white churches in the community for various reasons. I hate to hear that, because there needs to be unity among chrisitans, even those in separate denominations. We are all striving for the same goal no matter what color we are and those who don't know Christ need to see that Christians are willing to love others who look, act, or think differently than they do. This goes for every race of people who claim to know Jesus.

We embrace this oppurtunity to share the good news with the young kids tonight and my prayer is that God will first of all open up their hearts to accept it and shape them to be leaders in His church. Also, that God would continue to open up doors that lead to unity among his followers.

I am humbled at how God chooses to use people for His glory and for His purpose. There is nothing that he can't do. Please take a moment to pray for us as we sing tonight and may God be glorified through each breathe that we take. Let it be so!

Have a GREAT weekend!
