Praha

This last week the topic was the Holy Spirit. This was such an amazing week! One of the staff in my school Antonia had invited a friend of hers from home to join us for the week and during the last session of the week she gave her life to Jesus!!!!!! During the week there was some really cool teaching on bitter roots and strongholds (which the whole time reminded me of my wonderful mother because she loves to teach on those topics) and that teaching prepared the way for teaching on the workings of the Holy Spirit. The second to last day of teaching we had time where our speaker Connie was praying for us and anointing us with oil. She was praying for me and put her hand on my heart while she was praying and I had a vision where God said He was giving me a new heart. IT WAS AMAZING! I went to Prague on Friday night with a few people from my DTS and man God was really showing me how broken the people were there. We went to see Robin Hood in the movie theater there at night and we were walking back around 1am and there were a lot of people walking around outside. While I was walking it hit me really hard how much Gods heart was breaking for all the people who don't know Him and are living in prison to sin. I honestly think that is the first time I have ever felt something like that for people I don't know, which is really sad.

I am really excited for my outreach which is coming up in about 45 days. There is a team of 5 of us going to Israel. We will be doing a lot of different things there and don't know completely what God's plan for us is but some of the ideas we have are doing some cafe ministry, working with a food distribution center, working with a ministry in the red light district, working at a refugee camp, and doing a lot of worship ministry, also a lot of relational ministry. We are thinking we will be in Tel Aviv for a month and then traveling around Israel for the second part of outreach.

For outreach we all started reading a book called Why Me? by Jacob Damkani its about a Jewish man who comes into a relationship with Jesus as far as I know I am only a little more then one chapter in. I was reading it on the bus back from Prague and this stuck out to me. "It seemed to me that human tradition was and always will be the hardest thing to change and that often it was held even more sacred than the very Scriptures." I thought that was a pretty intense statement.

Anyway thank you all so much for praying for me and coming along side me on this journey that I am on. I love you all and I hope this encourages all of you!
