Faith Teaches in DTS November 13, 2009

Faith taught a week or so ago in the Compassion DTS here in Kona on the topic of Relationships with the opposite sex.  It’s amazing how interested a group of young men and women can look at the mention of that one, simple word. 

It was such an amazing time and what a phenominal group they were.  As soon as i walked in it was like they were on the edge of their seats with anticipation of what the Holy Spirit (not me) wanted to say to them.  I was reminded again of the privilege of inputting and encouraging  young people who are hungry for God and His way’s, to be a part of their journey into freedom, wholeness and partnering with Him for the rest of their lives.

Also we wanted to let you know that i’d be keen to record a week of this teaching if people are interested.  I’ve had a number of requests so will try to make it happen sometime soon.  Let us know if that interests you.  Remember Andrew and I are alway’s available to come speak at churches, camps, conferences – anything where you want challenge and encouragement brought!  Faith will challenge, Andrew will encourage:)

Speakers in kona, oureach and australia November 12, 2009

Here are some of the leaders who have been in town this week speaking to our staff and students.

Landa Cope
Danny Lehman
Don Richardson

It is a great priviledge to have people like this who have pioneered much of the missions movement in the past 40 years in the earth. It not just about having them come here to Kona but it is to equip the hundreds of staff and students to go out to the nations this coming Christmas.

Please be praying for our staff and students as they prepare for the coming outreaches. Some locations are China, Tonga, Cambodia and India.

I head out to Australia, tomorrow night where I am speaking on two DTS’s at YWAM Perth.

Much grace

Andrew

We are in our largest quarter of the year here on the Kona Campus so it comes with large numbers and lot’s of life and color.  We have many staff and students here right now as well as teams out in China, Afghanistan, New Zealand, Thailand and South Africa.  To be apart of training and equipping people for the great commission is such a privilege and joy when you see over 40 different nationalities learning together from one another.  Hundreds of young people will be heading out again in December to take the message of the Love of Jesus to literally thousands of people all around the world.  What a great job!
