Several PCC Arts and Worship Team members are at the Willow Creek Arts Conference in Chicago this week, learning from one another, from teachers and artists and Willow and from God.
Our first amazing God enounter was in the taxi ride from O'Hare airport, where we were blessed by the tales of a Christian church planter from Pakistan. Baptized in Saudi Arabia in the late 70's in the Lockheed Martin swimming pool, Albert Francis helped to plant churches in Pakistan and now helps to lead a church here in the city. He told us story after story of God's healing, and emphasized his passion for God's ability to work medical miracles. He holds fast to the scripture that says, "By His wounds we are healed", and takes this literally to mean physical healing.
His deep faith and love for the Lord Jesus Christ was evident. As we pulled up to the hotel, he said, "It is no accident that the mini-van you requested was not available. God wanted us to meet one another."
He refused to accept the money we gave him for the fare; he waved us off and thanked God. We pressed cash into his hand and asked him to share it with the church.
We feel your prayers here; can't wait to see what else God will show us!

WOW!
I asked the prayer team to pray specifically for y'all to experience "God moments" and I'm so glad this prayer has been answered in this way. I pray they keep happening!
