Please Excuse the Clutter!: February 2011

For many years, Harvest has had the opportunity to become an "extension" of Ji Lee's family. Ji Lee is a recording artist from Atlanta, Georgia. For the past three and a half years, Ji has been given the opportunity to study abroad at Hillsong College in Sydney, Australia. This past December, Ji moved back to states after finishing up her studies in Australia and even got the chance to lead worship at the Passion Conference in Atlanta, Georgia this past January.

Harvest was blessed to have Ji Lee come to Orlando and give a short testimony/seminar. I don't want to go on too long so without further ado, enjoy the pictures.

P.S

Wow, I cannot get over the fact that I God has blessed me with such an awesome opportunity this past year to serve on one of the best, if not THE best SLT teams of Harvest. SLT is our Student Leadership Team. I am so freakin blessed to serve alongside other youth members, most of who are younger than me, who love to serve God, and in a lot of ways, love God in more ways than I ever have. To see the love and fervor that these fellow brothers and sisters have for our Father is such a huge encouragement and smack to face telling me, "Isaac! You need to REALLY get serious about your faith!" Right here and now, in our SLT, this is the PERFECT example of 1 Timothy 4:12

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. - 1 TImothy 4:12

How crucial is that verse right there? Is this not what we're called to do? Is this not how we are supposed to live our Christian lives? All I can say is that I am so proud to serve alongside these brothers and sisters who paint an awesome picture of what it means to be a church, and what it means to be the church.

This past Saturday, about 17 members of Harvest went on an outreach trip to place called Rachel's House. Rachel's House, to my understanding, works to house single mothers and their children along with other ladies who need help. Our SLT tries to go on at least one outreach trip a month. From previous projects such as X-Tending Hands to working with other organizations such as Mending Hearts, I truly believe that God is using our simple talents to shine His light in Central Florida. Major, MAJOR props to the Harvest SLT and any others who helped out this past Saturday. I truly believe that we made a huge impact on the workers and residents of Rachel's House and I cannot wait to see what God has in store for the rest of 2011.

I'm so proud of everyone that helped out and I could not have asked for a better group of believers to serve with! Love ya'll!

P.S
I did not take all of these pictures. I must give credit where it belongs! (I actually don't know EXACTLY who took what picture, but just know, it was not all me...)
