Build Our House Reflections

We had another great Build our House session this morning. This is one of my favourite quarterly times in our church. Meeting with our faithful and dedicated "builders" is awesome.

Here is Tracy "unpacking" UNLEASHED! for us in part of session 1.

I really enjoyed the ministry of Ps Paul Grant. Powerful stuff.


Here is what one of the attendees emailed tonight:


BOH = WOW

What a fantastic day of connection & learning & leadership & pastoring today at the first "Build Our House" session for 2009.

Excellent too to see such a great role up of people willing to commit some additional time to the house & get ready for what God has in store for us in this year of "Unleashed".

We were particularly blessed to be mentored & equipped by a seasoned pastor in Ps Paul Grant & his wife Dulcie. What excellent role models of living the life you were meant to live. Ps Paul was seeping wisdom, understanding & Holy Spirit. I am sure that each person present was ministered to in some special way & especially after his address when we had a very real sense of God's presence as many were individually prayed for & blessed.

I figure that we have now caught a greater part of God's Vision for us at Westlife for 2009. However, the last word should be given by Ps Paul from his leadership notes (thanks Ps Paul):

"Once Caught, No Escape" The call and will of God insist upon unconditional surrender of the heart, will, mind and body of each believer. For those called to lead it is a sacred entrustment for which we will be accountable (1Cor 3:10-23).


As he closed he read out this poem that he had written called "When God Calls."


You can find the poem here. Inspiring stuff!
