“Following Jesus and Loving People”
The Lord Jesus is the head of his church! Sometimes things happen in the life of a local church body that seems to shake it up. During the past month, Highway has experienced the sudden departure of some key people. Roland and Thecla (and family) are now living in Harrisburg, PA, as they follow the will of God in preparing for ministry. And just last week, Pieter Ginting returned home to Indonesia after hearing the news of his father’s death. These precious people will be sorely missed! It’s easy to ask, “God what are you doing?” As I have prayed and thought about these situations, I must first say that events like this happen in every church. People feel called away, and people move back home. There’s no fault anywhere here. As a church, we are called to love, invest, and send out whoever God sends to us for however long. Another truth we must consider is the timing of God. He provides what we need at just the right time. In the absence of these wonderful people, God is raising up others to “fill the gap”. Our own Edwin Diaz has stepped forward and is willing to serve the Lord and Highway as the head usher (Roland’s former position). And this past Sunday a Temple student, DJ, stepped forward to play the bass guitar (Pieter’s spot). DJ also came to Highway on Labor Day for several hours (along with Elijah Afrifa) to familiarize himself with the sound system. A good friend of DJ, whose name is Eddie, will also be coming to Highway and helping as the Lord directs. The right people at the right time…God shows his provision and blessings, just when we need them most! More than at any time, Highway Tabernacle and Resurrection Life needs you. Would you ask God how and where he would have you invest yourself in his work? Your family and work places are the primary places of your investments, but God also calls each of us, as family members, to serve and build up one another. 1 Corinthians 12:27 says, “Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.” Our vision remains…to build a family in order to transform a community. God is helping us and you are a part of it!
