We arrived yesterday at the YWAM base, and I must say, I have missed the beauty of this place. The peacefulness, the quiet, the nature. We’re debriefing for the next few days. Today we talked about the lecture phase of the DTS and tomorrow we will talk about the outreach phase. It was a good...

"You are Loved and Valued!"
We went out last night to the “alternative district” of Chicago last night. It’s very close to Wrigley Field and is home of numerous bars and clubs. Things don’t really start happening until about 10pm or so, so we left around 9:30. Unfortunately, it was raining for about the first hour we arrived, so we...
What Would You Do For $100?
Yesterday was our day off. We had no agenda except to relax and recharge. For me, recharging most always involves me being alone, in nature, or just lost in a sea of people I don’t know. I decided that I would attempt to get up at 5:15 to see the sunrise at 6. I woke...
Here to Serve
We went out to do some homeless ministry last night at a park by the lake. Our goal was not just to meet the physical needs, and though that is so important, we really wanted the night to be filled with conversations revolving around Jesus. For the first 20 minutes of our walk we could...
I'm Lovin' It!
It’s been so cool to see how God has been using our team, and I’ve really started to understand how much God actually WANTS to use us. We just have to be willing and ready to talk when He says to talk, and walk where He says to walk. Tonight we went to a very...
China—>Chicago…31 hours later
Well, we’ve arrived back in the USA after a grueling 31 hours of travel in the last two days. We took a 14 hour train ride, numerous buses, taxis, shuttles, planes, subways, and plenty of walking…but we’re here. And I got to sleep a full 8 hours last night. Hallelujah. I won’t be able to...
PRAY
So, this is it. Our team will be flying out tomorrow at 2:20pm and we’ll be arriving in Tokyo, Japan at 5:00pm. And no, that does not mean it’s a 2.5 hour flight. We’ve got about a 2 hour layover there and we arrive in Shanghai, China at 7:05pm. We will be teaming up with...
A Challenge
I’ll probably only have time for one more post after this. We’re leaving Friday for China and I’m getting really excited. This has been such a great week here in Atlanta. We’ve been teaming up with different ministries around Atlanta and it’s been so encouraging. I was sitting with some great friends tonight talking about...
New Territory
So last night YWAM teamed up with Midtown Church and went out on the streets. I can honestly say I was blown away by their boldness. We were with their ministry called NightLight that goes out every Friday night and prays for people in the tough areas of Atlanta. They’ve been ministering to prostitutes and...
First Day #1
Yesterday, after we got all settled in, since we didn’t have any plans for outreach we prayed and asked the Lord to show us what we were supposed to do. One said they felt we were supposed to go pick up trash, another said they got the word “park”, and I got that we were...
