WOW!!
20+ hrs of none stop prayer! ending with a 3 hr group prayer meeting where we prayed, listened to God, prophesied over each other and explored what it means to be Christ centred in this place.
I think the strangest thing for me was hearing someone pray in Albanian and the others responding with Hallelujah, amen, praise God, etc... seeing God move but not understanding what is being said. Sunday morning was a similar situation during the sung worship time, The challenge for me is how to engage and join in with what's happening when I don't know what is happening. Pastor Faton is great at translating but it's not really practical to translate everything.
The best of it though is that the people here want to keep the prayer room open, to use during the week, and to pray through the day again.
Thank you God, for an enthusiasm to dig deeper into you which stretches beyond cultural differences and accomplished norms to try out the weird and wacky stuff.
Having said all this. Today was just a normal day: the sun shone, the washing got washed, people laughed, people talked, the cockrel over the road woke us up, and coffee was drunk.
