Starbucks

Well, I am sitting in Starbucks in Dresden using the free wifi, and avoiding the rain. I have had such a fun weekend with Kyle Hallblade. He flew all the way out here just to hang out for a weekend, how awesome is that. Been doing a lot of thinking about life after graduation even though it is a long way off. I have really been thinking that I could live anywhere once I graduate and I am really excited to see where God is wanting to take me, maybe even somewhere here in Germany. Today in Germany is a holiday celebrating the disciples after the day of Pentecost being sent out as missionaries, what a cool thing to celebrate. I love the lifestyle here it is a lot slower then back home, no car or cellphone, lots more walking and just appreciating everything in nature that God has created.

On another note, my team of five have booked our plane tickets to Israel, only 220 euros per ticket what a deal!!! We will be leaving July 1st and coming back to Germany on August 20. I am so excited, we will be in Tel Aviv for 3 full weeks and then traveling to different cities in Israel like Haifa, Jerusalem, and Bethlehem. We will be doing a lot of different ministries like one we will be working with is one that helps women who live on the street addicted to drugs and usually involved in prostitution. This ministry gives these women a clean bed and family type atmosphere and shows them the best way out of any addictions or lifestyles, Jesus. We will be doing some cafe ministry, and refugee ministry, as well as relational ministry with people we meet and worship. Things that we could use prayer for as a team are finanices for everyone, places to stay while we are there, and open hearts for people to receive from Jesus through interaction with us.

Thanks everyone for all of your support.
Love ya,
Josh
