The Update before Outreach

Hey everyone!  The first part of this blog is what I have been up to, she second part is what I will be up to.
       These last two weeks have been really busy.  The last Beach to Bush DTS just graduated, so our base had to say goodbye to some really great people, but I guess that's what happens when you live in a place called the Go Centre! Today the new Sports, MAD (music, art, dance, film, photography, fashion design) and Beach to Bush school students were welcomed with a huge banquet lunch.
      There has been quite a lot of surprises as well. I can't tell you a lot about  our Missions Simulation other than it was hard, challenging, and amazing and that my team learned a lot about outreach and each other. I succeeded in writing a 30 minute sermon in less than ten minutes, and preached it in front of a mock Japanese church.
In lectures our last two speakers posed more questions then answers. Last week's lecturer was a funeral director who was talking on the poor and needy, and missions, but focused more on his adamant belief in the Gap Theory. This week we had a guy who was the first missionary to preach to monks in Tibet. The craziest part of it was a Communist official translated for him! He is speaking on unity in the Church body, and the importance of intercession. It's so good to see why we pray, and the differences it can make.

This brings me to the second part. Our school is officially starting outreach on Monday.
We have five teams going to different areas of the world, So I'm going to add a bit of info and some prayer requests for each one. If you guys feel led to pray for any of the outreach teams, the base, or missions in general, please do!

Team Peru: Team Peru will be helping out at an orphanage located in the Amazon. They would like prayer for excitement in what they are doing, and for the children at the orphanage.

Team Malaysia: Team Malaysia is focusing on building stronger relationships in the villages as well as reaching the youth of the country. They would like prayer for team unity, and that the Malaysian people would be open to hear the Gospel.

Team Vanuatu: Team Vanuatu Will be doing some practical labor on the new YWAM base there. They would like prayer for focus in their team.

Team Australia: Team Australia will be travelling around the country as an outreach music band. They would like prayer for the youth they are focusing on, and encouragement within the team.

Team Japan: Team Japan will be helping Team Australia for a week, Then going to Tokyo and Osaka. We are focusing on youth outreach with the Arts, as well as teaching English. We would like prayer for us to be able to bring hope to the country.

A couple general requests for the teams would be continued health, and finances. There are quite a few people that don't have the funds to go yet, so that's a huge thing right now.
 
I thank you all so much for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers. See you all soon!
