I apologize beforehand for just now getting this post out. Life is crazy here. Exactly, two weeks from today I will be flying from Sierra Leone to Brussels (spending time actually in Brussels during my very extensive layover) to Chicago and then finally ending the trip in Jacksonville, FL. Trying to comprehend my emotions the moment I'm reunited with my family at last is just mind boggling.
So anyways, on Sunday June 12th during our Sunday evening church service here on the ship, we celebrated the Global Day of Prayer. In July 2000 God captured the heart of South African Christian Businessman, with a vision based on 2 Chronicles 7:14,"If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and forgive their sin and will heal their land."
I wish you would've seen how great of a job the chaplaincy department did with organizing this special service. My own friends and crew members from around the world represented each area globally and began with a song in their language and then prayed in their own language as well. It started off with South Africa because that's where it all originated, then moving to the rest of Africa (so awesome!), Europe (each country sang in their own language), China and Korea, North and South America, and lastly, New Zealand and Australia. It was a unique service and probably one of my favorites. Pretty sure I'll never see that back home ;)
