So Brennan started a Fenway Intern blog for us all to share our experiences, memories, and reflections on the discipleship training. Good idea. I like reflecting, but this is apt to be short, since we are in the Operation Peace computer lab, just waiting for people to come who need computer help. Nobody's here yet, so I'll share my highlights of the experience so far:
1. The teaching/training in the morning. Everyday, we spend about 3 hours just learning together, from each other and from the Bible. I've come to the conclusion that David W. and Jesse are pros at what they know and do. I'm blown away by the insight they've both shared about the Beatitudes (Matthew 5) and community engagement.
2. Lunch hour. I like this hour just being together, being silly, hanging out. We get to eat together and discuss further what we learned in the morning.
3. Putting it into practice. Either through spending time with seniors and kids, figuring out fundraising plans for the different organizations we're apart of, or prayer-walking/helping people on the street, I see how we capitalize on the lessons we learned in the morning.
Today we learned about Peacemakers. "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." -Matthew 5. Not only will we be blessed for making peace between people, but also between people and God. Our sins have separated us from Him, and as a result, God's wrath is stored up against mankind. Now that Jesus is our mediator between us and God, it is our job to point people to him. It is only through Jesus that God's wrath for sin will be averted. During this internship project, I have really felt the peace of God increase to other areas of my life as we rely on the Messiah and confess our sins to eachother.
