This summer we were welcomed by our friends at Daniel Prayer Garden, in north Atlanta to plant a “story studio” underneath the chapel.
“Keep the idea alive (that every believer has a story, that with love, can be brought forth and memorialized with audio and video so God can use it for His glory), and serve the next person I bring you with greater depth and love than the one before.”, were the words that I received back in 2010. Those were not easy words to hear, and they have proven incredibly difficult to obey. Yet 11 years later, we persevere, walking that spiritual tightrope and tension between abiding and striving, resting and running, doing and being. It’s been a humbling and wonderful journey!
The Story Studio at Daniel Prayer Garden is a beautiful and serene place open to all. Where each day we seek to go deeper in intimacy, understanding, and knowledge of both God’s will for the ministry, and how to carry out the mission with patience, purity, and in union with God. From within this little studio, we can help people share their story, as well as equip and mentor others to help people share their story.
We invite everyone to come to Daniel Prayer Garden (no appointment needed), and enjoy the beauty and reverence of the grounds. It is a wonderful place where people from many tribes and tongues frequent for prayer, praise, worship, and fellowship with each other, and the Lord.
We recently had the opportunity to serve a group from Prince of Peace church. Sister Susan shared her story of 60 years in ministry. Here is both a quote from one of the participants, and a glimpse of the afternoon.
“I wasn’t expecting helping someone share their story to be such a worshipful experience. It took my breath away and it felt like we were on Holy Ground.”
