"One Another" Sighting

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love.  Honor one another in brotherly love.  (Rom 12:10)

The clients at the Haven of Rest Men's Training Center had a unique opportunity to be involved in the Rick Gage Go Tell Crusade at the BHP stadium on May 20-23.  There was a great out pouring of the spirit's work with over 1000 decisions for the week.  As young converts, for our men to see that kind of out pouring was probably a once in a lifetime experience.  Equally, our men saw the body of Christ united around a cause bigger than themselves.  Our men were able to experience first hand and hands on other men working together.  Many men in our community came early and stayed late after the crusade and lent a hand to lift and load, tear down and remove the stage from the crusade. 

The image I have in my mind was of course hundreds of people of every age flooding the field during the invitation time.  I will never forget the excitement of being able to witness the moving of the Spirit in that way.  Afterwards at the end of the day, a group of about 30 to 35 men joined hands on the track at BHP stadium and offered up a prayer of thanks for what He had done.  I sensed I was part of a group that had accomplished something that no one of us could have accomplished by ourselves.  For the Haven men to be able to see other Christian men rallying around them and encouraging them and edifying them, working along side of them, as well as doing grunt work for no other reason than they simple wanted too was a picture I don't think I"ll forget. 

Thank you to the community of Christ, the churches and for those who worked so hard to put this crusade together and most of all for letting the Haven of Rest men see love in action.
