This time it has taken a bit longer because we had to write several reports during the week and on weekends had kitchen duty.
The week began with two days of teaching about relationships and communication. What I took away: God does not want separation. He is a God of restoration and healing and does not want people to be separated. It is always oppose and would like to bring the Christians apart. Mostly, not the other on my nerves, but a bad experience or injury that I projecting to the other.
"Make home a safe place" was an important sentence. Our children should be allowed to leave his home. Especially teenagers (begins with some already having 12 years or even earlier on) to at home have the opportunity to inform themselves. Often it can happen that we correct our children but as parents, but not listening to what they have to say.
The second half of the week it came to the topic, hear God's voice ', it spoke to another officer, which was by pretty valleys' gone in their lives. She had her first child at 17 already, it first wanted an abortion, but then it was up for adoption. In the ensuing years she suffered from terrible therefore take anxiety and guilt, and had strong medication so she could go to work. Nevertheless, God moved them towards you and stable with about 30 she came to faith in Jesus, after having tried all possible and impossible Philospophien. It took some time, but eventually her husband became a believer. He was a pilot and died a week after his conversion in a plane crash.
She married again a few years later and went in search given away by her son. After some difficulty they found him already grown up with their own family - and he was also a devout Christian! The midwife or nurse who he had in fact provided at that time, had been a Christian, and they had the impression to give the child to a Christian family. And if God had finally brought her life in order, and today she leads with her husband, youth missions at YWAM. Speaking of youth
operations: On Saturday came the second group, which performs here in the base school, the so-called Pursuits (ie freely translated "one goal"). This is a school for teenagers with certain modern Mission orientations, such as skateboarding, surfing and music. Since Sunday, all are here and there in the dining room is a bit close when 40 people eat there anymore.
But the Boys and Girls Euphorismus stuck with her and now we have to worship on Monday morning a real girl band - and since then goes off the post.
The kitchen duty took us on Saturday and Sunday in quite right - we had to prepare from 15:00 as a 6-member team dinner for 50 people on Saturday and 105 on Sunday (!). Thereafter, even washing dishes and kitchen cleaning.
On Sunday morning we visited the service of a small Christian community in Tauranga, where a friend of us, Alan Kirkby preached. Since the trip to Tauranga takes about an hour, we had to unfortunately make soon back on the road because we had to stand again at 15:00 in the kitchen.
