This week was amazing! It flew by! I can't believe our first week of lectures is done already. We had an awesome speaker named Taumata. He taught us about intercession and the character of God. He was a really dynamic teacher and taught through worship, skits, and practical lessons. We really learned to come together as a family this week and celebrated all of our cultures.
This week we settled into our routine which is really busy! We have worship or intercession in the mornings followed by classes until noon. Then we have ministry placements after lunch (Jeff works in the kitchen and I work with the gardening team). Twice a week we also have an intense workout with the group in the afternoon and one day a week we get taught more about backpacking. We also have small groups on Thursday nights. We’re keeping busy and learning a lot!
The big news this week is that we found out our outreach location is Nepal! We're so excited for the chance to share the gospel with backpackers there! We learned a lot about hearing God's voice through praying and listening for guidance. We thought we heard from Him, but being new at it we asked for confirmation and He came through for us! Both Jeff and I got the same answer both times we asked so we feel confident that Nepal is where God wants us! In the coming weeks we’ll learn more about the culture in Nepal and effective ways to minister to the people there. We’re praying that God will use us to impact Nepal for Him!
We’re also preparing this week to go out on our first backpacking trip and our first big hike! We’re so excited to get out in this beautiful country and experience God in nature!
