So last week we found out we are going to Thailand. I am so excited. It's crazy to think that we are going there let alone spending almost two months there. I don't know too many details yet and I have so many questions. There are several ministry opportunities right now that have yet to be narrowed down. I will update you as the details come. I do know we will be there during their hot season and it is recommended we don't wear shorts and tank tops...should be interesting.
Last friday a bunch of us went downtown for some evangelizing. It was hard initially but it wasn't too bad. Pretty much we were just chatting with people, asking questions and sharing what we believe. Most people were pretty open to chatting so that was good. I would like to go again since it did take a while to get into it as it was the first time I've done something like that.
Update
So every Thursday morning we start the day with Worship and warfare. This is easily one of my favorite times of the week. Each week one of the leaders brings to us a country God has put on their hearts. They give us abit of basic information about the country and the trials within it. This week The country was Iraq. When we started I wasn’t really feeling into it and so I asked God to break my heart for what breaks His. As the morning went on we were talking about the prostitution industry in Iraq. It’s huge! It’s estimated 30 000 females from age 11 and up are involved in this industry. At this point, I felt my heart break. As we interceded for Iraq my eyes started welling up and I knew God was putting this on my heart. It’s so sweet to think that our prayers can make a difference in a place so far away that I’ve never even been to. It was pretty cool.
Class this week has been really good as well. The guy speaking is actually a guy on staff here, he’s really great. His topic is Lordship; making Jesus Lord in every area of our life. It’s been a very convicting week. The concept that if you love your family more than you love God, you cannot follow Him 100% is intense. God requires us to give everything to Him and he will give back what he wants us to have. This is definitely nerve-wracking.

one month down
Welcome to week five...already. I cant believe how fast time is flying.
Everytime i talk to someone back home I am reminded how thankful my front yard is green...not white! Unfortunately people around here still think it's chilly hence no one wants to go to the beach yet.
I had full intentions of updating you all last week but my schedule got a little wonky. All of us here at YWAM were volunteering at a conference called call2all. This was a time when pastors and leaders from organizations all over the world could gather together and discuss how we can better reach the unreached people of the world. As volunteers we helped with whatever was needed - food prep, registration, taking notes in sessions, child care, cleaning etc. It was a big thing to be a part of as we got to hear how worldwide organizations such as YWAM and Campus Crusade for Christ plan tp carry out the great commission.
On Saturday we participated in "The Call" which was a day of prayer, fasting and worship. It was awesome.
This week our topic is world views. It should be an interesting week since pretty much everything we do is hinged on our worldview.
Today we started putting things together for some evangelizing downtown. I'm pretty excited about it, theres alot of people involved in drama's and dances etc. it should be a powerful evening. The opportunity is pretty cool. Alot of the drama and dances we can use when we go on outreach too, so thats good.
Thank you all for your support and continued prayer!
