March 25/07 UPDATE!!!

hey everybody... i hope life is going well for everyone, especially for our new moms at church... congrats Michelle, and Wendy... im soo happy for you!!!

well hello, another month has come, and is almost gone... life here has been amazing... our speakers have been giving very good lectures filled with the Holy Spirit, and more insight than we can deal with...
-2 weeks ago we went to Belfast for a mid-term outreach:
it was a very different experience, the entire city is full of walls, and mural... it was very scary at first, i wouldn't go outside by myself... and the first night i kept on having bad thoughts about things happening, and had a really hard time sleeping, but we prayed a lot for the fear to be taken away, and He was faithful to do so ... on wednesday we went on a 5 hr prayer walk... we went all around Belfast, we walked from the Shankill Rd area , around and up through the city, up to the Parliament Buildings... we prayed into healing for the city, prayed for children in the schools, the division between communities and the churches... it was an amazing experience, and we got some amazing words about the city... we got to spend a little time with the people from the Belfast Base... we did worship with them... it was an amazing time, and God was able to change our hearts towards the community...
-we cleaned up a school, a church, and painted a mural at a school...
my group was on the mural... the group changed a bit every day but we had Mikael, Anna, Korina, Me, Greg, Elise, Ruth, and Blake... it was amazing... we painted a jungle scene, with monkeys, a tiger, a crocodile, and many other crazy creatures... the school really appreciated it, and the kids were very curious to see why we did it... some of us got to run around and play with the kids on their breaks... and when we left the Maintenance guy gave all of us a great big thank you, and chocolates... it was very nice... we all went home feeling like we had actually made a difference in the city...
-we came back to the base, to a long weekend: we had from thursday evening to sunday evening to do whatever we wanted, so we relaxed, watched some movies, and caught up on sleep, well at least i did... hahaha...
-this past week we have had Mike Oman ( our base leader) talk on " The Father Heart of God"- it was a revealing week of facing the realities of fatherhood on earth compared to God, and dealing with a crisis situation: we have been made aware of a crisis in Mozambique:
-PRAY:
The Zambeze river flooded pushing the Mozambique people to become refugees and flee from their homes ... so to answer this call we had, the base is sending a group of staff, and possibly students after DTS to their aid... we need massive amounts of Prayer right now... we are not sure when they will be leaving, but they will need money for flights, food, and supplies for the people... on top of that, all that go will not have time to get required shots to go, so they will face the threat of disease, plus it will be rough conditions, and an amazing act of faith to pull this off.... please pray for those going , and to other YWAM bases already there working... thanks soo much... it is a great relief to have people praying at home...

well thats about where we are right now...
man i miss you guys, these weeks have been stretching me a lot... i am right now working on letting God take things so i dont worry about them... i am working on my weight, and the struggles there in... where am i going to go after DTS, and God has been ever faithful... every time i let him , he gives me just the right verse, or the right person to lift me up...
