Each morning at 7am, we are required to wake up for breakfast and start devo/quiet times at 7:30-8:30am. Every day looks slightly different as we have intercession/book reading time/chapel talk/base worship. This DTS was NOTHING like I anticipated and we have not only participated in lectures but also are involved in weekly EVANGELISM and COMMUNITY OUTREACH. I have been working with an afterschool program once a week, helping kids with homework and doing chapel services.
Every Tuesday night we go out to the streets and tourist area of Waikiki beach in Honolulu, to evangelize (share about Jesus) with people. When I first went out, I was so scared of running up to random people and telling them about Jesus. Over the past 2 months I've been continually challenged to get outside of my comfort zone and to embrace rejection.
We continued walking a bit when a young guy caught my attention. I said that we need to go talk to him. Awkwardly turning around, we began to follow him. I decided to run up to him and asked him a few questions. I asked him a few questions (“Describe yourself in 3 words”, “What do you want to do before you die?” and “What do you think will happen after you die?”). It really led to a great discussion and I was amazed as to how evident it was that God was pursuing him! We gave him a few resources and prayed for him. I can't even explain everything that happened or the look on his face when we began sharing truth.
So many misunderstand what Christianity is and the simplicity of the gospel.
When you see a good movie or try a new restaurant you can't help but tell people about how good it is right? So why don't we feel the same about sharing about Jesus? This is good news!!
On March 31st, we are boarding a plane to Indonesia with a layover in Taiwan. There will be 2 other teams heading out; one to Cambodia/Thailand and another in the Philippines. We are heading to a Muslim nation and for safety reasons they have not been able to give us much information about what we will be doing once we arrive. Our team “Indolaysia” (Indonesia + Malaysia) has been preparing skits, dances, sermons and testimonies to share when we arrive there. We will be working with the YWAM bases in Bali, Indonesia as well as Penang, Malaysia. Even though things are unknown to us, God knows and we walk in that confidence! Please keep us in your prayers!!
Prayer Requests:
- Openness to be flexible
- Unity within our team – to grow closer to God as a family.
- Trust and faith in God through the ups and downs on outreach
- Good health
