Enthusiastic Fire

Posted on Friday, April 4, 2014

“Who wants to play the role of the disciples?” Fifteen hands shot into the air and before the question was asked the other five men were already walking to the front of the room. This is what a couple of my teammates and I experienced this week as we led a day long storying session. These young men were so encouraging to me as I saw the bible come to life. They were on fire for the Lord and ready to soak up everything they could learn. We told the story a couple times, acted it out together in a drama, and then discussed what we can learn from God’s word. We learned about God’s power over demons, how he can change a life, and how he tells us to go tell others what Jesus has done for us!  They crafted the story into their heart language which is an oral language. I was bursting with excitement to hear their stories and see their enthusiastic fire that can only come from the Spirit of God. 

There is nothing special about me. I don’t have a bible degree and haven’t been doing this job for countless years. I don’t even fluently speak the language. I felt so inadequate to teach these men. But God was above it all, and just presented to them another way to share stories about Jesus. These men are going to go bring joy to their families, their villages, and everyone they meet! They will be lights shining bright for their King, the King of Kings!
