Medical Team Worships at Potter's Wheel Church

CLC's medical team spent Saturday learning about the Swazi culture, and how The Luke Commission operates its medical bush clinic. On Saturday evening, Kevin Ward and his wife Helen had a chance to visit with the team. According to Helen, the team was "a bit tired, but fired up to go; excited to start ministry."

This morning the team headed into Mbabane, the capital city of Swaziland, to worship at Potter's Wheel Church. Kevin Ward is the Senior Pastor at Potter's Wheel. It is a dynamic and growing church whose mission is to:

- Encourage through promoting fellowship with God and man, through worship, prayer, His Word, in counsel and community for lifting up Christ and encouraging unity in this house and to other ministries of faith.

- Edify by providing progress through the hearing of the Word, maturity, stability and integrity in individual lives resulting in growth for the whole body of Christ.

- Equip by preparing, training, perfecting and cultivating lives to be fully qualified for His service.

- Engage by releasing individuals to serve, yielding ourselves completely to the power of the Holy Spirit to perform in us His purpose for our lives as we step out to fulfill the Great Commission.

Ephesians 4:3-6 tells us:

Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace. For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father, who is over all and in all and living through all.

How awesome it is to know that, eventhough our Medical Team is halfway around the world from us, they are united with our Swaziland brothers and sisters in Christ and are worshipping the same Lord we prepare to worship now!
