‘What heaven will be like’: Arkansas church celebrates ‘Nations Sunday’

Hillcrest Community Church celebrated the nations and God’s glory on Oct. 27 during their Sunday service.

“Nations Sunday was to celebrate what God has done and pray for more to come. We wanted our faith family to see how God has gathered the nations and given us the opportunity to worship with so many different cultures that we believe reflects what Heaven will be like. What an amazing thing to experience here on earth preparing us for the ultimate worship service in Heaven,” Communications/Ministry Coordinator Sarah Bowen said.

Additionally, they celebrated that they have doors into so many communities in Little Rock through the different nationalities represented.

There are Indian communities, African communities, Arabic communities, Hispanic communities, and more that need Jesus right where they are, Sarah said. And having people who are part of the cultures they gather with regularly gives them unique opportunities to get into those communities, build relationships, and share Jesus.

“We also prayed for more that God can do among the nations and for the Gospel to go out to them. We have two international mission partnerships and prayed for the impact of those partners. We challenged our faith family to continue praying and supporting those ministries, and for people to go,” she said.
