The Power of the Cross

So one thing I forgot to mention in my last blog, which is weird because its a pretty major thing. During camping we found out our outreach locations. And I am going to.....drumroll.....

India!!
I am really excited for it because God really told me it is going to be an eye opening experience and challenging for me, which is going to be good for me I think. We're not sure on many (any?) of the details, except that we are at least going to Chennai, maybe other places. Researching it, by talking to others and the website, it looks like the YWAM base we will be staying on is involved in a variety of things such as leper colony ministry and an orphanage.
This week we had lectures on evangelism. What a week. Our guest lecturer was a man named David Pierce who started an organisation Steiger International. He has some amazing stories about how the gospel has so much power, even amongst satanists and anarchists in sleazy clubs. He really inspired us of the power of the cross and how amazing it is and how we need to convey it much more. One thing that got to me was that he said the saying “Preach the gospel to others and if necessary use words” is false. Only up to a point can our right living and love show to others God, they will eventually need to know why we are doing this and what they are saved from. So we had a whole day on thursday to evangelise, which was challenging to say the least. Its been a good week for me grow in my courage and humility, which I am beginning to realise are so closely linked.
I thank everyone for your prayers, thoughts or well-wishes.
Praying for you all, till next time!!
