We are back from our wonderful 2 weeks in Tanzania. We met such amazing people and had a great time learning as much as we taught (probably lots more). As I reflect on our time there, I see that the most encouraging thing I found was that what we have been teaching for the last few years “in faith” has really begun to happen. We “knew” in our hearts that what we were teaching was true and could work but until someone pioneered it and did it we couldn’t “see” it. Now we have seen and heard what we believed could be true outside of our South African very “westernised” African environment, take shape and grow and bloom in the fertile ground of East Africa. I am told it is happening in other Vineyards and I am excited beyond words.
Intimate, God focused, face to face, deep & personal worship can and does happen in churches that previously sang songs only ‘about’ God from a relatively distant and far off place.
When worship leaders are encouraged to look at the words they put in people’s mouths every Sunday,
given the mandate to work with their leaders on developing theologically sound and true lyrics that speak to God and bring them closer to the God they worship through the songs they sing and to
wrap it all in a style that is easily accessible to the people in their congregations
the result is a beautiful reflection of worship that touches the Heart of God in a new totally “Kingdom of God” way. Every tribe, every tongue, every nation worshipping around the throne.
