Today was the second day of the EDGE Team Coordinator training. These are the people that will be leading their teams, dealing with money exchanges, and all that fun stuff.
So far, so great! I’m loving orientation. Tomorrow the rest of the EDGErs will arrive for a week of prefield training. We’ll have 120+ people here. How cool is that?
I wanted to share with you what some of the ETCs have been learning:
- Truth without grace is brutal, but grace without truth is lethal.
- When dealing with a conflict: WAIT (W.hy a.m I. t.alking?)
- Different personality types (I’m an ENTJ =Extroverted, iNtuitive, Thinking, Judging)
- Leading a Bible Study
Something that has been really neat is that God is teaching me so much, too! During praise and worship today, we were singing Nothing but the Blood of Jesus and we were singing all of the verses, but we didn’t have the words. Most everyone new the other verses but I didn’t. I found myself only singing “nothing but the blood of Jesus” over and over again. Isn’t that what it’s all about? Isn’t that all we need to remember? Thank you Lord for your sacrifice.
Songs have a way of speaking to my heart in a such a deep way. This song I could listen to over and over. Check it out! Oh the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus:
Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus,
Vast unmeasured, boundless, free!
Rolling as a mighty ocean in its fullness over me!
Underneath me, all around me, is the current
Of Thy love
Leading onward, leading homeward to
Thy glorious rest above!
Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus,
Spread His praise from shore to shore!
How He loveth, ever loveth, changeth
never, nevermore!
How He watches o’er His loved ones,
died to call them all His own
how for them He intercedeth, watcheth
o’er them from the throne!
Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus,
‘Tis a heav’n of heav’ns to me
And it lifts me up to glory, for it lifts me up to Thee!
