Outreach

Hey Everybody, sorry its been awhile since I have posted. It has been super busy the last month, God has been teaching me so much. I had a mini-outreach to Jelenia Gora, Poland. We where there for one week, we stayed at a church all 7 days, we worked very closely with the church in their ministries. The church sits right in downtown Jelenia Gora, so we were able to go out on prayer walks and do really practical street ministry with the people. We have been covering a broad range of topics the last few weeks in training. We have covered relationships, where we had a number of speakers to touch on marrige relationships, and friendships, family relationships and ministry relationships. We had a week on Living a life of sacrifice, the main topic summery was "Welcome to the tribe of death" it talked about how we need to live everyday giving our lives to God, laying down everyday at a time and seeking God's face. We spoke on things in our lives that hinder us an hold us back. We had a time of giving where we all prayed about specific things that we may have had a certain attatchment too, then we prayed about who God wanted us to give it to.

We talked about worship and the fear of God for a week, it was really intense, but I really feel that many of the students are learning more then they ever dreamed while they are here. We had another week called "Plumbline" we had a pretty extensive teaching about God's plan for how we focus our lives and what we have placed or allowed in our lives to change that. We had Extensive prayer times for the things that God brought up in our lives through out the week. Some people are totally new creations.

I am prepairing for outreach, I have been fundraising, and will still be sending out support letters for our trip. We are headed to the continant of Africa, I can't go into huge details about what we will be doing on here, but please feel free to email me any questions. I will leave for Africa January 4th, and be back in Germany on March 15th. I hope to be able to stay here in Germany until the end of April working on photoprojects for the team after outreach.

My team will also have a photo exabition in Berlin, Germany from April 22-October sometime featuring our work from the Photo DTS and our outreach project.

We are working towards a goal of using the arts to bring awareness to extreme poverty. There is no need for the suffering that goes on.

Thank You so much for keeping me in your prayers and I hope to update again soon.

Much W007N355 sounds like things are starting to "fold" together. I will be praying that the Lord will bring the provision to care for the needs.

Plumbline sounds good... something to measure against, measure with and hold as a standard...
