Hey Everyone,
Sorry it has been so long since my last post, I have been very busy. We found out the
other day that we are leaving for South Africa January 11!!!!!! My team has been very hard at work researching South Africa, learning Zulu, and praying about what
ministry's we need to be apart of.
This week is our 24/7 prayer week so at all times during this week, we will have someone in the prayer room. Our focus for 24/7 is Ireland,
Ywam Northern Ireland and Ireland are becoming one unit instead of two, this is very exciting for the full time staff and even for us
DTS'ers. So we have been praying for God to reveal his heart for this Island, and it is so amazing to see what he is saying back to us.
Next week we leave for our Mid term outreach in Ireland. We will be sending out three teams of about 3 or 4 students and a staff member or two. The teams will be going to Derry, which is the second biggest city in The North of Ireland, to Cork the second biggest city in the Republic of Ireland and the whole Island, and a team to
Galway, which is the biggest University center on the Island. We will be gone for a week or so doing anything we can from
evangelism to looking for possible places for
YWAM bases there.
So that is whats
coming up.... as for what has been going on, the other day we went to Giants Causeway which is the only place in the world that these
hexagonal rocks are, they are amazing. Then we went to a Castle on the north coast of Northern Ireland. It was so crazy to be in a actual castle were battles were fought.
This past week was on
Forgiveness and Reconciliation, we had Johnny Clark the National
Director of both Ireland and the North of Ireland. I went into the week thinking that i had everything figured out and that i had forgiven people, but God pretty much slapped me in the face with issues i had forgotten about.
The week before was about the Holy Spirit, this week was huge. I
don't want to get into
alot of what happened because its hard to write it out, but it was
awesome. God did so much for our group that week it was amazing.
The week before that was a week on the
fatherheart of God, this week was also very
awesome. I had never thought about God like that before. I encourage everyone to not think of God as some King on his throne in heaven but as The heavenly father who loves and comforts us.
So
that's pretty much been whats going on in my world. Ill try to write more often.
Cheers!
