Hope Brisbane, Ablaze Service 4th Anniversary Celebration
Ablaze Service’s youth celebrated their fourth anniversary on Friday 11th March. God sat in with Ablaze as the service marked a significant milestone of its ministry. Four years of serving alongside each other, four years of chasing after God's heart, four years of trusting and hoping in our saviour Jesus Christ.
The past year has been such a great testimony as to how a small community of young people can make an impact when they’ve set their hearts on serving others. From caring for our city in Clean-Up Australia day, loving our neighbours by putting in our hearts and hands into the flood relief efforts, and lending our words of encouragement and prayers to brothers and sisters affected by the devastating earthquake in Japan through personalized handwritten letters and donations; Ablaze has shown itself so capable of being a strong and resilient pillar of support in a time like this to the people around us. We also saw the very first fully student-run youth camp – which was a great testament to God’s grace.
The special service marked the last service for the young adult’s lifegroup, Lighthouse, as they soon after moved onto Morning service. The anniversary service was a modest bittersweet remembrance of Lighthouse’s involvement in Ablaze youths’ lives and how God moved through each and every one of their lives.
The service kicked off with a few simple, yet amazing musical performances. As the service progressed, other special items included Lighthouse leaders Lisa Toh and Amy Law sharing and encouraging Lighthouse members to continue in God in this new season of their lives.
Torch shared with the congregation about how to live out our legacy. He challenged us all to follow Joshua's example and obey God's word, follow God, love God and serve God. The holy spirit moved in the hearts of Ablazians that night and helped us to look forward into the coming year for His plans for us.
The service closed with the youth of Ablaze coming together to pray for their older brothers and sisters in Lighthouse. Ablaze and Lighthouse together are excited for what God has in store for the coming year.
