World Awarness

I could tell you about the LTE that we went through in the beginning of May, but apparently this guy was able to sneak a camera into the LTE soo I'll just let you get a glimpse of his view and what life was like on the run and on Man v Wild ((:

On a side note: I remember being on the "run" and seeing the masses of people running because we knew we were being chased. I felt like the holy spirit was really just telling me that we are really going to be living like this in a couple of years that while we might have been role playing for the weekend that one day we are going to look back and realize that it was almost like foreshadowing..

The Unreached People

In March the internship had an LTE called the Unreached People Group.  During this time we had to become REAL ethnic groups that have not heard the gospel.  I had the opportunity to be an "unreached"  then there was a group of people that were the "missionaries" that brought the gospel to share the GOOD NEWS.  It was hands on training to learn how to adapt to people from different cultures our group.  The name of my group was the Nhang Tribe we had some of the best missionaries we could have asked for. They were very loving and kind.
They showed us the true love of God and eventually "saved" us. the LTE more than anything was to show us and open our eyes that it may not always be easy because you will have to possibly learn a new language or be careful with certain gestures because it is offensive to the people you are trying to reach.  "Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law.  To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. ²² To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings."

-Paul.

voluntary weakness

Well it has been a while, I apologize I am not all that great at keeping everything up to date.  Well  back in February we had our second three day fast.  I remember going into the fast thinking that it was going to be great because back in November it was an amazing time of just encountering the Lord.  I really was ready and just wanted to go all in and experience him, however the Spring brought forth anything but life during that fast.  I remember being very weak, tired, and hungry.  I would take naps and dream that I broke fast.  I remember thinking that the goal went from truly encountering the Lord in a new and exciting way to, "Do not break fast." I really saw the hand of the Lord come over me and really just guide me  to have strength to not fall into  temptation .  Sometimes in life we think that something that is "suppose" to be easy propose us to be some of the most difficult tasks that we face.  At the end of it all the glory really goes to the Lord.  Like Paul says "For when I am weak, then I am strong."  We are not strong in ourselves because if we could do it we would not need God, however; that is not the case at all we are made weak to truly understand are uttermost dependence on the Lord and not take for granted how powerful he is and what He can do in our lives.  Time and time again I am reminded that when I can no longer walk that he comes along side to carry me through it all.  Praises to my King.
