We walk from place to place amidst enormous mountains, cobbled alley ways, mud puddles, and wide tall grasses of rice fields. This morning we walked to Megh’s (contact) primary church for a prayer meeting. There was worship with conga drums and a tambourine: no big organs, bell ringers, guitars, or spot lights. The church members sang out loud in praise to the Lord. Since I haven’t yet totally grasped the Nepali language, I swayed along to the music and read my Bible. I’m currently reading through 2 Chronicles and really enjoying learning Biblical history.
2Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will. 3For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. 4For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,5so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; 7if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
