It's hard to believe that training camp is over and we leave tomorrow morning at 3:00 a.m. God has been moving mightily and powerfully this past week. Through sessions discussing compassion, deliverance and surrendering our lives to His plan; God has taken hold of the lives of the team members and we are seeing people step into their calling as never before.
As a team we have grown in unity and have begun to share our time-lines or testimonies. We've also learned several drimes or silent dramas that will be a huge part of our ministry in Peru. The drimes we learned deal with abuse, drugs and other strongholds in people's lives. In each drime we see the Jesus character take the sins, save and redeem the main character. As leaders, we've seen drimes used in ministry and have watched them change people's lives. We can't wait to see what God does through this team and the passion they show through the drimes.
Yesterday (6/30) we went through a team builder called the "Spider's Web." We had to army crawl, climb and dive through webs made of string and different obstacles. It went incredibly well and we learned how to better communicate and crawl as a team. We finished in record time and took our frustrations out by praying as a team.
Everyone is safe and doing well. We are all so very excited about leaving and actually getting to Peru. Thank you all for your prayers and support!
Prayer Requests:
-For safety in travel. That all of our luggage would get to Peru with us and that through all of the different methods of transportation the Lord keeps us safe.
-Please also pray for opportunities to witness through our travels. That God will us starting the moment we step into the airport.
-For pastoral relations and our relationships with the people. That God just places His hand on us and the people around us and blesses our relationships.
-For the leaders. That the Spirit will be our strength and our rock. Also, that He will guide us in His words and wisdom.
-That God will continue to unify the team and bring us closer in Him.
-For health. Traveling can be stressful, please pray that we all stay emotionally, spiritually and physically healthy.
- Praise Him for what He has done and has yet to do!!!
"As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in ALL."
