Never in my life did I ever think this life I live would ever turn out like this… WOW!!
God has literally blown my mind this last couple months! but the last weeks have been Oh My Goodness… Impossible!
We have been praying long and hard for the last 4 months on where God wants outreach for the September DTS to be. He has officially told us and it has been annoucned to the students now that we are headed out to Nicaragua, Germany and Poland and the final 2 weeks back home in Costa Rica! I can’t believe this!! Never in my life would I have thought that I would have been going to Europe like.. Ever…. now 2 times in a little over year!?! WHAT?!? Also never thought I would be living in Costa Rica!! Literally I would am so dumbfounded thinking about this! God has changed so many things in my life and the things in my life He has saved me from is amazing!
Then this week, we did local outreach/ outreach prep. We sent all the students out in small groups in different directions to go pray for people. They went and then us staff fallowed shortly behind them. The students were totally Holy Spirit led, receiving Words of Knowledge for people, healing people and just loving people! One amazing part that I was able to witness was a couple of our kiddos were praying for two men in a moving truck, one man knew Jesus but had been feeling some oppression and just heaviness over his life, so we prayed for him to be set free, then I noticed a bit of scaring on the other mans eye, and we asked if he had sight problems and he said yes and told us about how he stabbed himself in the eye with a machine on accident a few years ago and it scared and he now has a really bad haze over his eye and when he looks with that eye everything is mostly blurry. So we began to pray, one student put his hand on the mans eye and we all laid hands on him and began to pray for healing, declaring clarity and strength in his left eye then the student pulled his hand away from the mans eye and the man suddenly became shocked, he said that as soon as he pulled his hand away, he saw a fog move from his eye, and the man said that he could now read ” Colombia, Te Quiero” on the students bag, which he couldn’t read a few seconds before, then we prayed one more time and the man said he could see almost perfect out of his left eye now! We all rejoiced and the man turns to his friend in the truck and says, “Dude, I am not lying!!” (in Spanish of curse). The man then turns to us and asked if we go to church anywhere in town and so we told him about our church and he said he would be there Sunday, and we gave him all the men a bible and the man who could now see, began to instantly read the bible and finding passages he remembered from church and his buddy was doing the same! they were so excited and could not wait to know more about this amazing God who encountered them on a whole different level than they have ever experienced before! 🙂
I promise you, stepping out in faith will not only change your life, but the lives of others around you! With this DTS that we are taking to these awesome countries, I believe that we are going to see so many things that our sweet Jesus wants to do to encounter those He loves. We are going to be heading out to Nicaragua the 2nd week of December and then out to Germany on about the 20th of December then Poland beginning – mid January. Our focus as this DTS is “Your Kingdom Come.” We want to watch people come to the Lord and see his amazing kingdom come.
Please be praying for us because to bring a group this big to Europe, it costs quite a bit of money, We will need a combine 70,000 and something dollars. We believe our Father wants to open up heaven and pour out His blessing on us, He isn’t going to call and not provide, but we also believe He uses people in His work.
So please be praying for us in these areas:
- Hearts to be open in all these countries
- The finances come in
- Protection over the group
- Unity among the team
- Smooth Travel
And most of all… - The Kingdom of God to be poured out over ALL His people!Donation Link:
