Here in Bangkok, Thailand, I’ve realized two things about my
team. First, they are worthy of constant
authentic encouragement, and, secondly, I’ve never formally introduced them to
you. So here is a chance for you to meet
my teammates, members of Team New Song.
(We recently changed our name. It
is easier to say and defines who we have become during our two months together
and what we desire to be for the nations.)
Maryanne: A wise woman of God, clothed in
righteousness, and favored with the voice of the Lord most high. She is a lover of the truth, a hearer of the
Word, and a bondage breaker. A caretaker
of the broken hearted, rod of comfort, and patient listener. She is a woman whom the heavens look down
upon and praise our Creator for his gentleness and wisdom. She is my sister.
Will: An honorable man of God, adorned in the
garments of grace and mercy. He is a
servant of God and man, any man. His
face radiates with the hope and joy that can tear down walls, free the
devastated, and uplift the wounded. He
is a man of respect that can be counted on to love you more than himself. Will is a brother washed clean of his past,
present, and future. He is pure. He is blameless. He is becoming.
Alana: My beloved sister does not lack in depth of
knowledge or pursuance of the discovery.
She is a beautifully complex creation that gets what’s to be got. She walks in strength and boldness. She abandons no one for she is a place of
safety and a bringer of security. Alana
basks in God’s grace as a freed lover of what is right, just, and humble. Her light cannot be hidden.
Jamie: An authentically crafted woman who loves
mercy and fights for love. She is
patience. She is balance, discernment
and comfort, a voice that speaks when needed with a soul that encourages even
the faint of spirit. She recognizes the
truth in others and walks alongside them towards that hope. Trust is her ally, foresight is her friend,
and an exposed heart is her strength.
Sydnee: Talent resides within, around, and on this
daughter of the glorious one. She has a
child’s spirit that rekindles fires in everyone around her. Sydnee walks humbly before man in obedience
to her calling. She loves before being
loved and shares for the benefit of others.
Gifts flow from her and her cup runneth over. My sister captures life.
Caiti: This prophetess desires with an earnestness
that is pure and unbridled. She lavishes
love with merely a touch or a look. Caiti is a creature of community and a
speaker of wisdom. Praiseworthy is the
architect of the heart that defines my sister.
Humility goes before her and admiration follows. She radiates with a compassion that echoes
within souls.
More than likely I will NOT have much internet access over
the next few weeks, because the men of the squad are going into the mountains of Northern Thailand to sleep in tents, do physical labor, eat weird things, and spread the good news. So in case I don’t get the chance to say it, “Have a Merry
Christmas, Happy New Year, and break from reading my blogs.”
