I think that the three of us can now say that we have experienced a little bit of what eternity will be like. Last night at the First Baptist Church of Cochabamba we were a part of unity service for all of the ministries in the church. We joined together with more than 500 people from all over the world and we all worshiped together in our own languages. First we were blessed by the ministry of the Quechua people (the largest indigenous group in Bolivia) which was totally unlike anything you've ever heard. Then we were able to worship in Portuguese with our Brazilian brothers and sisters who totally know how to raise the roof. After that it was time for a little English. Tarryn, Ivan, Myself and a group of 6 British girls led worship in English (representing those present from: Canada, U.S.A., England, Scotland, Ireland, and Australia). The worship segment ended with a mind blowing worship time in Castilliano (being the first language of Bolivia, the majority of people spoke this form of Spanish). After a sermon on unity preached by the Quechua pastor we joined together in singing "The victory, the victory is mine" in all of our native languages combined and it was so amazing!
"After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb."
