Prayer Week

This week at chapel here at Word of Life Hungary has been our prayer week. Everyone has been getting together in the meeting hall/classroom everyone morning at about 10 to come together. Through this week I have come to appreciate my Lord Jesus Christ so much more (if that is at all possible).
As I bowed my head Monday morning, people were praying in Hungarian, Czech, Portuguese, Spanish, and English. Some prayed in Polish and French while others simply prayed in English.
So I thought to myself,
"Wow! God understands all these languages! Not only does He understand, but He listens. God is not overwhelemed by the whole student body lifting up requests to Him continually. He does not turn His head when it seems there are too many requests. "
Here at Word of Life there are people from all over the world. We have students and staff from many parts of Europe. There are many Brazilians ruling the sound waves throughout campus. And finally we have North Americans from Quebec, Indiana, Michigan, Connecticut, and a few more places that have slipped my mind. (Guess who's the only person from California, though? ME!)
So as we lifted our request up to our Savior, I thought it was just so absolutely awesome that we all come from different walks of life, enjoy different activites, and speak different languages.  Despite all these obvious differences, we have all come here with one purpose-Jesus Christ our Lord, our Savior.
He is the theme of our hearts and no barriers like language or culture can tear that down(:
