First day!

So today was the first day that we started meeting as a staff with all of the interns in the office. They just finished the youth room where they have their youth nights and it is so amazing! Here are some pictures of it!

I was so amazing to see everyone finally be brought together that God drew together perfectly! It is crazy to think that normally we think of having such a great group in the same place to be an accident or by chance, but I know that God brought each one of us together perfectly way before time. God is so cool in that way... seeing time and events before they happen and bringing them together in His perfect way.

Today at the meeting we all talked about how we are in a battle as Christians. As Ephesians 6: 12 says, " For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the power of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." How crazy is it that as Christians we are fighting a battle of that magnitude, but then how blessed are we that God is on OUR side and that the battle is already won! We just have to put on the armor of God. Like it says in verses 13-18. We have won the battle through Christ, but if we want to be successful leading up to the end then we must fight with our armor on!

It was so amazing to be reminded of how much we NEED Christ in order to succeed in this life. We can do nothing without Him successfully. We may think that what we are doing is "good", but if we are not totally consumed by Him, and we are not covered in Him, then how can it really reach its full potential that God deserves.

The Christians here are so on fire for God. Every conversation that you have with them leads back to God. You can see that they are totally consumed by Him. It comes out unknowingly and unforced. It just flows from them. { please be praying for them and for their fire to never go out.}

Today we also went to the town square and walked around and fellowshipped.

We were also able to hangout with some students for a little bit today. Please pray that their hearts would be open to come to the youth night (LIFT) on friday. Pray that God would do amazing things in their life and that they would turn to Him and He would draw them to Himself.

Please continue to pray for God to do unexplainable things here. Help lives to be changed and souls to be saved.

With love through Him.
