ministry and life

Yes its been busy here in the shelter ministry in Amsterdam people are leaving and not enough people are coming so we are a little stressed and spread thinly here which makes taking time to talk to the guests and interact with them less likly.
However every evening we have a bible discussion at 7:30. One of us staff is schedualed to be a bible leader and one of us is schedualed as attender. We invite guests to join us. Its really great to see the diversaty of people that come and the questions that are produced at these dicussions.
This Tuesday i was schedualed as bible leader and i got really stressed out, any way i ended up preparing a bit but my attender and i had a hard core prayer time before we started and God really took over. Its the first bible leading that i did that i am confident and satisfied at the out come. God always does his thing and speaks to our guests or cleaners where their at.
Yesterday a guy from cali who was running from God came to amsterdam searching for more he just flew to euope to spend three months just sorta figuring out life. He had some great conversations with staff and last night told us how he made a re-comitment to God and is excited about following Christ.

Prayer requests:
-God would raise up more staff members to partner in this ministry
-my digestion problem has come back
-protections on present stafff so they will be focused on God as priority
