three weeks

Ive been here for three weeks but it feels like three months. I miss everyone at home. cant wait to see you all again. our schedule has been pretty packed so I haven't been able to do many blog posts but Im going to try to update it more often from now on. so hold me accountable.

Week two was crazy. the subject of the lectures was the lordship of Christ. The speaker was Mark Parker, he is amazing. He is so passionate and loves people so much it blows my mind. On the friday of that week we had a 15 hour day of ministry. We were in the lecture room the whole time. We layed things at the cross and confessed and repented of things that we needed to. We also worshiped all throughout the day. We did so much worship that my arms were sore at the end of the day. We ended it with communion. We had a big feast with different types of lollies ( candy), chips, cookies, and things like that. At the end of the week everyone was glad that we had lordship week at the beginning of the school rather the later, when it usually takes place, because it brought everyone closer together as a group.

The topic of this last week was bible worldview. It was very interesting to me. we looked at how different cultures look at the world differently and thus act differently. It made me think a lot. It was perfect timing to start thinking of the world because the week prior was focused more on ourselves. Also we found out the outreach destinations for our DTS.

The outreach destinations are Argentina/Chile. they will be doing snowboarding and surfing ministry, basically what we are doing here. They will be using the skills of sharing Christs love that they are learning right now. The second is China. They will be going to Hong Kong and nanning. One of their main outreaches will be skate ministry. Then there is Turkey. There are two teams going to different places. One team will be in Bursa most of the time. They will be doing college outreach. They are also trying to set up future snowboard outreaches. The plan is to have a snowboard outreach there next year. The other Turkey team is going to be traveling around and sharing the gospel with people they run into. They will be staying in hostels and places like that. The last one is Africa. The team is going to Uganda and Kenya. They will be helps with whatever needs to be done there. Each student had one day to come up with a top three and reasons why. Its a good thing God spoke to me quickly and i knew where i was going to go. My list was 1) Turkey travel team 2) Turkey Bursa 3) Argentina/Chili.

sorry this is a super long post. but like i said I'm going to start posting more often so they wont be as long. I love all you guys.
