El Roi - the God who sees me
Swarzy leads a service with Warehouse Worship exploring the Hebrew name for God 'El Roi' - 'the God who sees me'.
Swarzy Shire from 大象传媒 Radio 1Xtra leads a service with gospel group Warehouse Worship at one of their worship nights in Old Trafford, Manchester.
Joined by 2000 young people at the BEC Arena, the service features a mix of classic and new worship songs, like Here I am to worship and Praise.
Swarzy chats to members of Warehouse Worship to explore the meaning behind one of their songs, 'El Roi' - the name given to God by Hagar in Genesis 16 meaning 'the God who sees me'. In this passage, Hagar is feeling abandoned and mistreated, and encounters God in the wilderness. She names God 'El Roi' because, in her time of suffering and solitude, God shows His awareness and care by seeing her and providing comfort. Swarzy hears from the young people in attendance about times when God has seen them.
