This week we went to Ireland and joined up with another DTS! I had an AWESOME time! Are lectures were on Missions.
Missions
The Christian life is about discovering how BIG, POWERFUL and how much LOVE God has OVER and OVER again!!!!! The more we encounter him the better it gets!
If you spend your WHOLE life making FRIENDS you will have a GREAT life!
Being a 100% sure what God is saying is overrated!
Better to be overwhelmed with his character than being a 100% sure of his plan.
God is more committed to fulfill his plan for your life than we are willing to find it!
GO GOD!!!
The safest place in the word is right where God wants you!
If God calls you to do something then you are ready!
Life is more about the journey than the will or plan.
The kingdom of God is NOT conformity, made uniquely in the image of God.
Heart of activity is what makes something spiritual! Put God in that middle and all your priorities will revolve around him. Being with friends, playing, cleaning, working, church, sleeping these can all be spiritual if you do them to please God.
You should be doing ministry when your not doing ministry through lifestyle.
The word PASSION came from Jesus’s death on the cross his suffering for us!
God is never, Never, NeVeR, NEVER boring!
WILL FOR YOUR LIFE
LOVE GOD
LOVE PEOPLE!!!
Life -
There is no dress rehearsal for life.
You need to learn into God so much that if he lets go you will fall on your face!
We carry what the world longs for!
We are ORDINARY but we serve an EXTRAORDINARY GOD!!!
Character -
God doesn’t want us to be Jesus he wants us to be ourselves with characteristics like Jesus
God will for your life is not a ministry destination but a character transformation!
Outreach
Because we had to travel to Ireland when we would have our normal outreach time we weren’t able to have scheduled outreach but of course God being who he is had other plans and gave us the oprotunity to have outreach on the bus. At first I was really bummed because when we got on the bus that we were going to be riding on for over 8hrs there were no double seats so I didn’t get to sit with people from my group. One of the other girls in my group and I met a man on the bus. At first he was really against like God and told me that he didn’t believe that there was a God but then said he didn’t believe because there was just to many to choose from. It was obvious that the guy was very lost he was also quite confused by what scientist have called “scientific fact” but those things go against the bible. After we talked to him he really opened up and we were able to share Jesus with him. After the conversation died down I started reading a book I needed to for a book report and he was very interested in what I was reading. I ended up giving him the book and after looking at it he told me that that might be exactly what he needs. After we arrived in Ireland we got to pray healing over him over something that doctors have told him there is no way of fixing his problem. He wasn’t healed right away but I still believe that the Lord will heal him of his problem. It was great to see how open someone could become after only a couple hours!
Summery
This week was very AMAZING!!! I loved visiting Belfast and talking with the people there. The DTS at Northern Ireland base were great! I loved getting to know them.
