Intercession and Worship!

It's Saturday and the end of week 5. It was great to get back into the routine of school this week. Our topic this week was intercession and worship. I really enjoyed hearing about two things I love! Our speaker was Peter Warren who is the base director of the YWAM base in Denver, Colorado. He was a very charismatic and engaging teacher and you could tell he was is a lover of God's Word! I enjoyed him very much and felt confirmed in the fact that God made me to be an intercessor!! On Wednesday evening we were able to see a movie that the Denver base made which was a documentary of a DTS they did last year. It was a great movie that showed the way God works and moves on a DTS. It also talked a bit about a tragedy that happened at the base a month before the DTS. There was a man that came into the YWAM base and open fired, killing two people and injuring another two. That aspect of the movie made it incredibly touching. The movie hasn't been released yet but when it is, you all should see it. It's called Jesus Freaks.

Today we had a car wash to help raise some money towards our outreach to Mexico City. We had a blast hanging out at local servo's (gas stations!) and getting people to come in. At the end of the day our class had raised about $1000. I know quite a few people in our class that have no money yet for the outreach and are behind on their lecture fees. Thank you all for your support of me. I have been able to pay all my lecture fees and I am only about $500 or so short of my outreach fees. Please pray for me that God would help me find a way to make up that difference!

One other area that I would appreciate prayer is for my hands-on-compassion assignment. I will be working at the local juvenile detention facility. This past week was supposed to our first time with the girls. When we got there we were told that there had been an incident and all the kids were in lock down and probably would be there for quite a while. We stayed for a little more than an hour and prayed for the kids. We were disappointed that we weren't able to go in but really felt like we had a great time in prayer! Please pray that we will be able to go in and spend time with the girls this week on Tuesday (It would be Monday night your time!)

Thanks everyone for reading! I really love knowing that people are keeping up with what I am doing. I love and miss you all very much!!
