Video and pictures

I put together a few tours of the campus, some videos from friends and its on vimeo: YWAM Hallelujah!, and all the pictures that I will be taking will be on Facebook!

The first week!

This has been an amazing week so far! Praise God for all that he's been teaching me! We have been learning so many things just in this first week! Every day we have 3-4 hours of lectures in the morning, with amazing teachers from 21 to 40! They all love the lord and have had some really amazing God things happen to every single one of them!

We also spend at least 2 hours monday, wednesday, friday in the prayer room, worshiping and interceding before the lord. For those that don't know, to intercede means to stand in the gap, just like Jesus is interceding before God the father on our behalf.

One of the coolest things is learning to hear God's voice! How cool is our God that he still speaks to us no matter how deserving we are! Once we ask God's heart for something, whether its a country, people group or sphere in society, we pray God's heart back to him. Intercession is extremely effective because we ask God what he wants instead of simply praying what we want!

We are also learning to cultivate intimacy with Christ! I am getting taught a whole new concept from God, that the most intimate thing we can do is rest with someone else. Just like a child in a fathers lap, if we just relax in God's presence it really brings us closer together. A great example of this is shown in Genesis. On the 6th day God created man, and then next day he just wanted to hang out with him! It sure seems like God just wants to hang out with us! And the cool thing is, intimacy with him makes our missions SO much more effective because he will give us his heart for things and we will be able to hear his voice so much clearer! PRAISE THE LORD!!!

By the way, if anyone has any prayer requests, I would really love to pray for everyone of you!

Peace out with the Prince!
