The first week was amazing.
By the end of it many of us wondered if each week would be this impacting and
intense! After a few days of orientation and learning the basics of our new
home together, we got right into learning. Dan Shannon was incredible, we were
incredibly blessed to have him speak to us about hearing God’s voice, or
rather, listening to God. We could hardly wait to go to class each day and hear
his crazy stories, hilarious humor, and feel totally challenged on our own
personal relationship with Jesus.
One of the highlights of this week for all of
us I think was when we practically learned how to hear by doing some blind
prophesy! No matter how used to it we were, we closed our eyes and prayed for a
person in front of us that we couldn’t see, asking God for some sort of word or
encouragement for them. And wow, did God speak! We were all blown away with
what God has to say to us and through us. Some of us were just amazed that He
could and chose to speak to us for someone else! And specially for Those who never experience the gift
of prophecy , word of knowledge and Word of wisdom .
Many of us were impacted through this, praise the
Lord! Another big event of the week, was finding out our outreach locations!
Out of the blue, we got all 6 locations and were told to pray about it and see
where God wanted us to go! The next couple days were spent putting into
practice everything that we’d learned in class. We all sought the Lord, and by
Friday gave in an answer. We are still praying for the staff as they seek the
Lord to make the final decisions! Then on Saturday we got exercise that we will be doing every week !
– wow! We
all climbed to St. Else’s peak to enjoy the most amazing view of the ocean and
towns surrounding. Absolutely stunning, no words can explain. It was a great
experience as a team!
God is great
