Right now I’m in Alabama at Auburn university doing our stateside outreach. I am so enjoying this place! All week we will be working with two former YWAM girls that are partnering with a church down here to head up missions and outreach in this area. They both have such a heart for the Lord and for this community to grow in discipleship and missions. There is a core group of students that we are working with. Sunday, we met with them to worship and intercede for what God is doing in and through us at Auburn. Last night we had chinese food with those same students and we also got to speak with 2 chinese students and 1 thai student, all of whom are believers. It was so cool to hear what they had to say for us, as missionaries going into their countries. one student was very real with us. he told us that some chinese will see us as invaders, and that we have to be there just to get to know them and to learn about them. he told us not to “google” the culture, so that we can be free to learn about the chinese from the chinese. it was a really cool experience. tosay was our first day of evangelism on auburn’s campus. we prayed for the Lord to give us words and people to pray for, and He totally honored that prayer! before we went out we intereceded for the day, and i felt that God was saying that even as we speak to people about His love, He will be refreshing us, He will be giving us the words. even as we speak! and He did! we got to pray for SO many people and just talk to them and encourage them. one girl in particular touched my heart. her name is suzie and as we told her that God had put her on our hearts she began to open up and tell us that she was just coming out of a relationship that had lasted 3 years. she said the break up had crushed her. you could tell that she was getting emotional. she had such a sweetness about her. she continued to tell us that God was doing beautiful things in her, like restoring her relationship with her mom, but that she was just hurting so bad. we got to pray life over her and we just prayed that God would be fighting for her and giving her strength. we spent a good amount of time just talking to her and i was so so blessed by hearing her speak and seeing what the Lord had for her. that he loves to speak to each of us is so beautiful to me. i love Him. there are so many other things that i would love to write! last weekend, we volenteered and were able to attend the Onething conference that was held in Nashville and it was so so awesome! God was moving!!!!! He showed me things to repent of and then when i accetedHis forgiveness and joy over me, i worshipped like crazy! and i discovered that the more i see Him, the more i WANT to give glory to Him, i don’t feel obligated, i feel honored to bring Him joy. oh, and everyone should go and buy the cory asbury cd...so good! it will bless your socks off! well, i would love to hear from each of you! what’s God been doing in your lives! i lvoe you all! please continue to pray for me and my amazing group. pray that God takes off the boxes we’ve put ourselves in and gives us freedom, and that we respond to Him y giving Him all the glory. all we want is Him. also, pray for us financially that God provides for all our expences for outreach, which is coming up so fast! tonight we are going to the auburn house of prayer, i’m so excited for this!!! peace and blessing to everyone! i love you all!!
