wow

This week has been amazing, Keven spoke on evangelism, it started off with a 3 hour bus ride to byron bay which it was raining the whole way their, and when we got thier a girl on our school had chest problems and so someone took her to the hospital that was day one,
Day 2, the next day which was monday, we started lectures that morning keven spoke on evangelism, and the day went on, that night we did card board evangelism which was amazing what we would do is get a piece of card board and write something on it that would challenge people like (God loves you or do you have faith) and walk around or just sit somewhere, which was really challenging to me. you would just sit their and people would come up to you and ask you all kinds of questions, like why do you believe in God or why in the world would God allow my friends to die in a car accident all kinds of stuff, but most if the time they would get in your face and bash God and cuss at you, but it was good cause it would really test what you believe, but we had a few people come up to us that would actually listen to us and we would get to share our hearts with them which was really good, i dont no if they took it to heart but it was really good just to be out their telling People about the God that we serve and love. their was another couple of guys that where doing the same thing, they got to talk to a guy and pray with him, and they said the guy was going commit suicide that morning, so when they prayed for him and after they did he excepted God into his heart which was such a blessing to hear.
Day 3 The next day was just s good we had lectures in the morning, and we left for nimbin which is the drug capital of Australia so i was told, anyways we rocked up and set up speakers and had a BBQ, and sung worship songs, which was really fun cause i was en charged of cooking, this place was not very big you could walk down the streets in like 10 min, and everywhere you went you would see people dealing drugs or somebody would ask you if you wanted to buy some. It was such a dark place me and daniel where walking around and decide to check out this local museum, as soon as we walk in their you could feel your chest just compress and it felt like their was a hundred pounds on it, and as soon as we left the weight was lifted it was really crazy, cause i haven't felt a darkness like that before, which would just attack you like that when you walked into this place. anyways the day continued and it was really cool cause we got to share our hearts with allot of people who came to the BBQ, i got to talk to this guy andrew who was probably in his 30 and he was in a place where he was either going to leave his partner and kid, cause they did not believe in God, but he was sorta sitting on the fence on what he should do, so i got to pray for him and give biblical advice, on what he should do which was really cool. Their where probably a hundred or so people that showed up, anyways this town was full of hippies it sorta reminded me of hippie movement or something, anyways that was an awesome day as well, after that we headed back home which was just an amazing drive threw big hills and rolling pastures, so we got home and had worship that night and which was amazing, so brian on our staff team got a word that God wanted to heal this girls leg in our group so we sat her down on a chair and put her legs side by side and one was about a inch and half shorter, or longer for those who think half full, so we all started praying for her and i had to see this cause i havent ever seen God heal someone physically before so i am sitting right next to her feet watching her foot, like a hawk, waiting for this miracle to happen. and while im watching this thing starts to grow and it grows out to the same length as the other one and i am like going crazy, and so is everyone else, it was incredible, praise God.
Day 4 was amazing. that night we went into town in byron bay, and put the speakers up, and played music and we where challenged to go up and speak as we pleased, so we went around the town and ask people to come hangout, and while we did Andrew and Nick where playing songs on the guitar, just trying to get people to come up and just chill anyways we talk to a few people and got them to come and join so we had probably 80 or so people their at one point, and we where just talking with them, and God put something on my heart to just get up in front of everyone and just tell a little about the gospel and what Jesus did for us, which was really challenging for me, cause i dont like to speak in front of allot of people, but i new it was from God so i did it and i think it went well, i dont no if anyone got anything out of it. but i did it and wether or not anybody got anything out of it, when we hear Gods voice speak we need to obey it. So the night continues and we are just hanging out a talking to people and i got to share my heart for God with a few people, and the night was coming to an end and i saul a few of my friends praying for this young man and as i was walking over to pray with them this kid was excepting God into his heart, which was amazing, cause their is nothing more amazing than seeing God touch some ones heart and see them come to Christ. and it was really cool just to be apart of that. cause i got to talk to him after everyone left and really got to pore into this young mans life, and he was just broken and i just got to love on him, and my heart was breaking for this kid, and i could not imagine doing anything else with my life cause it was so rewarding to be apart of his life.
so if you read this thank you, and if it comes to your mind just pray for all the students and staff, that God would continue to work through us, and i thank you for all your prayers and support threw the years i wouldnt be in this place if it weren't for Godly people pouring into my life. love you guys God bless and keep seeking after him, cause their is no greater reward than for God to say( Well Done My Good and Faithful servant)

I am so glad God is challenging you and using you and everyone around you to share Him. I thank God for what He is showing you and How active He really is! it makes me smile and give Him praise.
