I went to 'The Big Feast' again today, where we spend our afternoon feeding the homeless and generally chatting to them. We start off the event with a 'God Slot' and then go onto food...
I was asked to do some worship for the God Slot, I was a bit apprehensive as I didn't know how they would react, most of them being non Christians, but I said yes...seeing as this is what I feel called to do. I did the first song, Arms of Grace, during the low key communion, when I'd finished they all turned round and clapped.... We then went on to sing Amazing Grace together, I wasn't expecting many people to sing, but it turned out, ALL of them began to sing there hearts out. I was amazed... A girl, came over and sat next to me, she had a beautiful voice. I dropped out the guitar a little so I could hear everyone singing... It was a very moving moment. I started crying and then everyone in the room started wiping away tears. God was really there today.
When everyone was sent away to get food, this girl thanked me for the worship and began to tell me about her life... After I had heard her story, I invited her to join 'The homeless worship band' I am starting up....She starting crying and telling me how much it meant to her that someone was actually taking an interest in her....I thought that was what God was pushing me to do, get her in the band, but I could feel he hadn't finished yet. He nudged me to ask her along to church....I was like ARGH, really?...But seeing as it was God, I said to her 'look, this might be a weird question, but I would love it if you would come along to church with me on Sunday morning' to which she replied 'I would love to'....So I'm going to get her from where she's staying on Sunday morning, taking her to church and then taking her out for a spot of lunch...
God is Amazing!!!
