As a short termer I was completely blown away by the Sunday schedule when I first arrived. I couldn't believe how many things the Ghents managed to fit into one short day.
At the end of my first Sunday here the team headed out to Grace Chapel for the final service of the day. What sets Grace apart from the other services is that it is held in English, which allows a variety of people to come out and partake in God's Word together.
A sense of community is strongly felt in Grace Chapel, yet right from the beginning our team was welcomed in with open arms.
The beginning of the service was spent in praise and worship. This particular time was a huge blessing to me. After a long and busy day I found it beneficial to be able to reflect on the day and on the many ways God had been working.
I also love the way the congregation at Grace reads the Bible out loud together. No matter the version of their Bibles or how advanced their English is - it is a time to dive deeper into the Bible as a group.
Although the congregation may be small, God's love is most evident among each member.
I believe God is using Grace Chapel in mighty ways. Ways that might not be seen clearly just yet. My prayer for Grace is that God would continue revealing His plans to the leadership of the church and that the church would continue to speak hope into people's lives.
