Around 6 PM on Sunday Night, we gathered for worship outside the Hotel. When you are traveling with four pastors, there is no skipping Sunday worship.

Pastor Jim Mackareth of Lompoc, CA once described a “wave of worship” that moved across the globe every Sunday. As each time zone awakes, nations all around the planet begin their week by giving praise to God. We did not plan it to happen, but we did begin our worship at the same time as the churches in the eastern US were singing their own praises. It reminds us that we are one in the spirit.

The order of worship was led by Gary, the message was given by Steve, and communion was given by Dan. For bread we used Indian naan, for wine we had Steinbeck Vineyards cabernet from home in Paso Robles. Though our bread and wine came from opposite sides of the world, it was another reminder that we are one in the spirit.

We know that our family and friends worshipped together and prayed for us, and we thank you for your prayers.
