Today I am posting my notes twice...basically the morning session was soooo moving, I just want to put it out there NOW......
Take home from this morning....you don't have to be an eloquent loud speaker to do good work, Mama Maggie sent chills to my bones.....
WCAGLS Day 2
Session 5: tough callings
Perseverance - book of James
Dr Stephen Sundar not granted Visa...not at conference
Speaker: Wes ?
Soddo, Ethiopia
Imprisoned Tedesa (who spoke illegally at funerals).... He then preached in prison and they were to public ally execute him and tried to electrocute him but he lived. They tried to repeat the next day same thing happened and they freed him ("we don't know what to do with you").... Where are you going?.... "to preach at a funeral"
-in Ethipoia they memorize Bible as they are not allowed to have it. In America, you have many
Mama Maggie Godin (documentary intro)
Set up Stevens Children
Serves the minority Christian population serve over 27,000 people weekly
"mother Teresa of Egypt"
To be elegant comes from the inside....give until it hurts
Forgiveness is between you and God
(bridget side note) Breathtaking speaker...the most soft spoken but even as she started speaking my eyes fill with tears ..I could feel her love for God and for all! WOW!
Spoke of the poor children of Egypt, they have nothing,no food, clothes water, home...no dignity....
+add this to your bucket list if you are the least bit spiritual: do what ever it takes to hear Mama Maggie speak
"Silence your body, listen to your words, silence your tongue to listen to your thoughts, silence your thoughts to listen to your heart beating silence your heart to listen to your spirit, silence your spirit to listen to his spirit -in silence you leave many and listen to ONE."
