On Monday, a sign caught my attention in the bathroom at the
castle. It had been there for a couple of weeks, but I hadn’t thought much of
it until Monday. It was an informational piece about the Cheb (pronounced “yheb”)
YWAM base and it was encouraging people to join in helping with the first DTS
in February. I looked it up online and thought that I might want to visit it in
the coming weeks, to see if it would be someplace that I would be interested in
helping with. The region between Czech and Germany is the window of human trafficking
from east and west Europe, so Cheb is located in an ideal place for working
with human trafficking victims. I’m not sure what their plans are related to
this, though. And then on Tuesday, I found out that my DTS will actually be
going to the Cheb base for the mini outreach beginning in two weeks, for two
weeks. !!! I’m really excited to learn more about what they are hoping to do!
This past week we studied the nature and character of God. I
was reminded of how incredibly exciting and amazing God is all the time, and of how infinite all of his characteristics are. I
am so lucky to be able to be in relationship with Him. My God is amazing. Seriously!!! :)
There will be two teams for the three month outreach that
takes place after the lecture phase (I think we’ll be leaving sometime in
November). One team will go to South Africa, and the other will go to Eastern
Europe. We were asked to pray about it, and the team leadership will organize
the teams based on their prayers and what we communicated about our prayers.
There have been a few things in the past couple of weeks that have drawn my
heart toward Eastern Europe, and I feel that that is where I’m supposed to be. God
is doing amazing things in Eastern Europe, and I was able to hear about some of
them from another DTS that returned from their outreach last week. Sex
trafficking is big in Eastern Europe, which is the area of justice that my
hearts breaks for the most. We’ll see what team I end up on! Your prayers for
cohesive teams and outreach would be so much appreciated.
Love & prayers!
Hey girl, sounds like everything is going well. We talk about you all the time and miss you so much. Your mom and sis update me every Sunday. I miss seeing your face at Itown every week.
