God is @ work

Gods in the buisness of changing lives, not only lives that don't know Him
The community that I live in as a Shelter staff know as 'Whillem Straat' has been changing. We've been unified and spiritualy renewed. After the crazy dramatic thing that went on in our home we've all been more serious about the life we live and allowing God to work in every part of it.
We've come to a point of having a prayer and worship hour every evening at 9:30.
Its so great really unifying us and lifting Jesus as King and Lord of our home!

This is the German girl who gave her life to Christ and Jens who spoke that night. He is also German so they could talk about God and the decision in their mother tounge.

So it was my small groups turn to lead and organize hostel night this last week.
However we were sick of just pulling something together randomly and hoping they work. So Tuesday during our small group it was my turn to share so i shared my heart and asked us to pray as a small group for guidence and that it would be Gods words and actions not ours.
My co-leader and I were a bit concerned when we had nothing ready even up to the day before but we knew that God would do His thing no matter how crazy we were.
We met as a small group friday morning (day of hostel night).
We ate breakfast together.
God had really been speaking to Jens (a small group member)so he shared what was on his heart and we put a program together with that.
At the end of the great meal and a powerful message Jens asked anyone if they wanted to recieve the forgivness and life he'd been talking about.
He waited a bit and one lady raised her hand.

Its kewl to be a part of Gods work of change no matter what part it is, weather its planting seeds or reaping harvest!

Thanks for your prayer and support, know i'm praying and thinking of you also.

Wow! That's exciting that the lady was willing to raise her hand to follow Jesus! I hope you have lots of opportunity to guide her in her new life. :)
