Advance Operations Training Batch 4
 |
| Ptr. Harry, AOT 4 (in black) and me |
2015, a new
year, a new season of Advance Operations Training participants. Young people,
young leaders coming from different people groups and culture within the
country, and this time one from Indonesia – Eli, Gigi, Mich, Ecoy, Gwen, Glad,
Nonoy, Annie, Lee Ann. These 9 gave up 9 weeks of their life to be in this
training to know God more and be prepared to take the Gospel to all nations.
As the
training opens with a bible study on Joshua and the Angel with a drawn sword
reminding the team that we are preparing for a Spiritual War and that more than
the skills, God’s instruction and holiness are of utmost importance, the team
was blown away by just such a clearer and solid understanding and experience of
God’s love – CHRIST – the only place
and person where both the grace and justice of God could meet. His justice demands
that we suffer for our sin, His grace decides to pay for that sin and redeem us
through the sacrifice of Christ’s life that we do not deserve. And He rose
again for He is God. And this is meant to be the root of it all – the giving of
one’s life for the sake of His name and the Gospel - because He deserves it and even this life
and a million lifetimes of serving him will not be enough to show the gratitude
for what He chose to do for us and for all nations.
He is love
displayed. And his love meant to be displayed for all the world to see and know
and receive and love him back.
Each of
these 9 leaders will share their hearts to us through some short articles, testimonies
and journal entries. May you be blessed, inspired and ministered to by the
sharing of their hearts. J
