Father God,
On this Sunday I have worshipped in a church with so many comforts; air conditioning, a piano, organ, sound system, cushioned pews and screens displaying music, videos and worship aids. At the same moment in South America my friends are worshipping in a church that doubles as a daycare and community center. Surrounded by concrete, they sit in plastic chairs and sing from a small paper handout. Thank You so much for the wonder of these two settings. Your holy spirit dwells in both places and is alive in the hearts of those seated in the pews and the plastic chairs. Your awesome love is not restricted to a particular community, state or country. I pray continued protection over the mission team as they begin their first full day in Ecuador. May all that they see and experience bring them closer to You. Open their hearts to the city they tour today but will serve tomorrow. Allow their eyes to see the beauty and glory around them which reflects Your creation. Prepare their minds to be Your hands and feet to the people of Ecuador. May all those they contact tomorrow see not people from America but the sweet glow of your mercy and love.
