SEW's Kick-Off Worship Night

Dalat students gathered on Tuesday night for an amazing time of worship and prayer stations lead by seniors to kick off SEW.

On the 11th of September, Dalat students shuffled into the Harbour Hall and found, to their surprise, that the chairs had been removed! Students chatted and sat on the floor while waiting for the worship night to begin. As the lights dimmed, and the music began to play, students turned their attention towards God, and the worship team lead the students in a beautiful time of worship.

Shannon Frohlich shared an excellent testimony on how she obeyed God, which set up the atmosphere for the next part of the worship night. The spiritual development class of Dalat had come up with a few stations that students could visit to either receive prayer or just reflect on their faith. Different seniors were in charge of the stations and were available to pray for the underclassmen. It was definitely a great opportunity for the senior class to reach out to the underclassmen.

It was amazing to see students praying for one another as the spirit moved that night. There were students in tears before God, and it was evident that the presence of God was there. When asked what her highlight was from the worship night, Shannon Frohlich (12) replied, “My highlight was definitely seeing how many students prayed for each other—how many students put aside their preconceptions about others and demonstrated God’s love by finding courage to give them a word or pray for them. I was at the back of the room, and as I looked around Harbour Hall, all I could see was students either worshipping God, confessing to a friend, going through a station, or praying. Lots of tears were shed, and people definitely experienced God!”

The worship night truly was a great way to kick off SEW.
