We had the privilege to attend the Kingdom Come conference! God painted the folowing picture for me: We are His and He is ours. We are the eye - one with the  God, the sunflower. The eye represents us. We are not whole - we are broken pieces. The different shapes in the background represents our lives - A MESS WITHOUT GOD! We are colorful and unique, but still incomplete without God. Jesus, our savior, is the sunflower. He is the light! He makes us whole and is the highway to heaven. He completes our eyes. He opens it to...

    The kind of people that could change lives with just a smile. Vietnam has truly been a life changing experience for me, because we arrived after 12 in the night at our destination I wasn’t expecting a very warm welcome but when we arrived we were greeted with big smiles and warm hearts and in that moment I knew the Lord was present in that place. They sat us down at a table where they prepared a meal for us and we could not have been any happier. I went to bed that night with a joyful heart...

I knew that coming into Global would cause me to be more attentive, listening to testimonies with an ear to hear. Manifested itself in the form of great breakthroughs in testimonies, even before we embark on our journey  People seem more real when you realize we all have 'dirt'. Everyone has a story be it longer, shorter, dramatic or seemingly boring. It has power none the less and the blessings received through it into the year is unique and a key to broadened thinking.

Training has been as spiritual as it is been practical. Whether it is cutting trees for firewood, watching a video on pride, helping with the kids, or having a big prayer session; I have always been learning something.  The community is just as engaging. The leaders down to the student missionaries are very passionate about this process. The leaders interact with us as if they are learning this with us, and the student missionaries have this fire that is very contagious. I am very excited and inspired of the people here in the training program. This is a great start...

From the 7th to the 23rd of September we visited the Echo farm close to Frankford.   At our previous ministry point I was wondering what my next challenge will be for the new ministry point. But Jesus really came and poured His blessing and joy over me.   Jesus really gave me so much joy on the farm where we worked. We prepared the soil for spinach, planted the spinach, made a stone floor and we helped built mashroom houses.   In al the hard work, tired nights and stiff bodies I really saw and felt the joy that...

I’m Eduard. I’m 18 years old. I’m joining the work your way team this year to embark on an adventerous journey to the nations. Our team is only four strong but we believe that there’s a reason why the navy seals travel in teams of four. I’m responsible for buying and cooking meals for the team this year. I trust and believe that God will provide for us abundantly. I am excited to explore the wilderness of different countries as well as the different cultures. Training has been tough so far but it has done me good. There is also...

From the moment we tried to cross the border to enter China it was evident that we were stepping at least on someone’s toes…  It felt like everything was against us – as if all the enemy’s forces were joined in an attempt to keep these vessels from spreading God’s light in China.  But our God is an awesome God and His power is far above any forces, principalities or authorities of this world.

My Beloved's return...

(Part Three, My Beloved Shephard, my Lord and I - Songs of Solomon)

 

Longingly I Address You, Lord:

 

 

 

 

 

 Until the day brakes and the shadows flee away, return hastily, O my Beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young hart as you cover the mountains which separates us.

 

 

 

Searching I had gone but a little way past them when I found Him whom my soul loves. I held Him and would not let Him go...

I am, my Beloved's

(Part Six)

World: Where has your Beloved gone, O you fairest among woman?
Where is your Beloved hiding Himself? For we would seek Him with
you.

 

Just some fun!
