One of my favorite things in the world is singing in worship with other believers. I have had a lot of opportunities to do this over the past several days. I usually sing in English, but I’m learning a few Creole songs as well. Yesterday, I sang “Reckless Love” in English, while one of my co-missionaries Alicia, sang it in French.

A couple days ago, a team and I were visiting one of our new elders and singing (in Creole) with her and her family and neighbors. As we were cleaning up from our visit and saying our goodbyes, I heard some tiny voices singing in the background. The worship song was continuing as neighbor girls sang out the lyrics we had been singing earlier. It was a beautiful thing to be a part of, seeing the impact that a few moments of worship had brought into that neighborhood.

I have been experiencing a lot of moments like that over the past few weeks, not things easily checked off a to-do list, but beautiful moments of uniting with my brothers and sisters in Christ. There are many things that divide us: language, culture, age, education, experiences and opportunities. But, as we worship together, we are exactly the same.
