Anafora
Just a quick thanks to the guys i saw in pretoria before we left for Egypt it was awesome to hear how you all where doing and seeing some of you.
Anafora is a beautiful retreat and we spent a couple of days there receiving teaching on the old testament (read genesis again guys its awesome) and blessings from a bishop. Also we had our first taste of Egyptian food and must say not bad thanks mom for feeding me lentils!!
And who knew the desert could be absolutely freezing, i had all my clothes on with a beanie and scarf the whole time.
After anafora we went to Cairo capital of Egypt where we did the tourist thing. We visited the pyramids and Tommie and Marica i went to garbage city and the cave church, how awesome was that!! Thank you guys for showing me that dvd who knew i would visit it!! Praise God.
Cairo is a very busy city with 22million people, i experienced a very tough time there with lust thoughts and as we spoke most of the guys had the same trouble. The girls also felt under attack as the men stared them out of their clothes. There is a sense of lostness in cairo, a complete lack of freedom, of Godly peace...
We left Cairo and went to Dahab right next to the red sea (like 500 yards). We feel that God is opening doors here for the gospel to be shared and we are praying and praying for wisdom and opportunities to serve and share.
In this time the Lord has started working with me from Hebrews and calling me to obedience and a God seeking lifestyle. Also to be bold and take steps of faith since God has overcome Heb 2:14-18.
Id like to share a prayer for the Dahab and the global challenge group God has layed on my heart:
God your soft touch can sometime seem so harsh to us. But rather a soft touch than being lost for eternity. Thank you God that You are calling us to maturity in the Spirit, no longer doubting but living by the Spirit. Your oath and promise to Abraham is being fulfilled, Lord a blessing to the nation pouring out truth and revelation and thus there will be a multiplication in numbers in your Kingdom!
Amen
Peace to your house
