Firestarters at the Worship Center ~ By Jen Achey

Thanks to a fun reconnection with a long lost friend, Brian Hock, Firestarters got to help out at the Worship Center tonight. Brian just became the leader of the 30 & older singles ministry there and they needed someone to lead worship on short notice. Since Brian had just visited the Fire Station a few days before he knew about Firestarters and asked if we could come to lead the worship for them. We were glad to come help in this way and we had a meaningful time of worship and hang out together.

At first when the worship night started we were not sure people were engaging in the worship much, but we kept pressing in and by the end of the night, the group had experienced some very special time with God and each other. In response to a word of knowledge, one lady experienced healing in her knees from pain and stiffness caused by athritis, and various people requested prayer and had meaningful experiences with God.

Brian shared from Romans 12:1&2 about finding contentment in God. This was cool because two of our Firestarters staff members who were there had Romans 12:1&2 already come to mind during the worship.

To end we "stayed" in the song called "Word of God Speak" for quite a while. Some of the words of this song are: "Word of God speak. Would You pour down like rain. Washing my eyes to see Your majesty."

God has been bringing up the theme of his "Rhema, breathed, alive" word lately.
