Spoken Word: BWC Zimbabwe 2017
By Sharon Milton (Inspired by the Holy Spirit)
I can relate to the looks on their
Once again God had come through, yeah He never fails
In that letter was a great invitation
I would say yes, without any hesitation
The Bishop has invited you to be part of her team
Eyes
We would be part of the delegation to Zimbabwe
God is good, that's all that I could say
2017 is the year of the Pastors School
Heading to Africa U, with all of our spiritual tools
Some had been before, still wanting so much more
Others journey for the first, excited God had opened up
Grateful for Joyce and Debra, for all the work they did in the back
Maidstone had logistics
July 16 we arrived safely to the motherland
Thanking Jesus for having that plane in His very hands
We were on assignment to teach some pastors
They came from all across Africa,
Joe led the team, preparing for a shift,
He made sure we were all teaching in our gifts
Early morning start, ready for registration
Madelyn, Charity, Rita, and Catherine, led the way, filled with dedication
It all started with those Opening Remarks
Bishop on the mic, Holy Ghost fire she had sparked
How are we guided, can you explain?
Maidstone and Emma showed all in the Book of Discipline
Bible Studies led by Kirkland, Wanda and Conrad
Some of the best spiritual food, we had ever had
How do were reach out and get some church support
Marlon, Paul and Gladman, made sure in the church we will always have hope
Here comes Marion not feeling too well,
But Leading together with Melissa R, you could never tell
In their session, took time to explain
Why in our studies, we should be more discipline
Miles, Kunda and Sharon, screaming give Youth and Young Adult a chance
We heard in those breakout groups, some really took a stance
We'll let Lena teach them about church school,
Hope we listen and follow Wesley three simple rules
How can we serve and prepare for Gods shift
Here comes Sarah and Joe with all our spiritual gifts
Than came the topic that would be number 10
After this session all the teaching, it would end
Trying to manage a project and not getting paid
Here comes Rachel and Tim showing where to get aid
There was another part of this African Vision
It would take us to the hills to be all about God's mission
Tim would lead with a prophetic word
Making sure our brothers and sisters needs, we had really heard
Let's help build that church up on that hill
We all know it's part of Our Fathers Will
We are the church so many ways to connect
Let's stop and seek God, prepare for what's next
Melissa L had us covered taking pictures in the mix
Every chance I got you know I pulled out the selfie stick
Gerry at the orphanage it brought back memories,
Paul already thinking about how we can meet all the needs,
Lyndsey, Kim, Jorge on the van bumping through rocky roads
Donna would soon find out that outside bathroom, was umm kinda cold
Children everywhere, beautiful smiling faces
Those midweek worship services our hands we were raising
So much has happened in just a few days,
But I do believe God has had His way
So many getting sick, just not feeling the same
But we spoke healing all in Jesus name!
Holy Spirit filled and His purpose we are after,
What was our purpose this we must know
Because God has so much more in
Don't let this go by as just another trip,
Don't let the devil steal what God has equipped
We have been called for a time such as this,
If we
We must all Stop, Pray, Fast, seek Gods voice
remove yourself from all of the world loud noise
Listen clearly for the Holy vision,
Thanking The Bishop and BW conference for making a way,
Giving God the glory, for changing our lives today
God is doing a brand new thing in front of our very eyes
Don't listen to the devil he is just filled with more lies
Our lives will never be the same,
God has called us out exactly by name
When you go back make sure you tell your story
And when you do it give God all of the glory
