Tinas dream was out REALITY

The night before our faith and fasting we all were busy with preperations, with no time or energy to go to the shelter for dinner we threw together a meal everyone who was around joined in, it was great because the weather was so nice we could sit outside!
That evening Tina came she was a new staff american member who came from doing ministry in england with 24/7 prayer communities. She joined us for two weeks.
Tuesday we had a ministry wide Faith and Fasting day (fasting from monday after dinner to tuesday dinner)We had a worship time with staff and managers from both hostels. After we split off into groups and listened to what God wanted to say to us and the ministry. God spoke alot! giving people visions, words and scripture. It was powerful to hear and see Him speak through each of us.
After our time of prayer and thanksgiving we took communion together as a ministry.

After communion we broke out into praise and feasting. There was a great dinner prepared for us. (with beautiful bookmarks)
To God be the glory!
After dinner I lead a mini dedication time for the prayer room. Told about the heart and history and how God made it happen.
Tina the girl I mentioned earlier piped up at the end of my mini talk, she said she wasn't going to say anything unless we talked about a tree... i did... so it all came out her story... here it goes.
Basicly two months ago her prayer comunity had a prayer week and one of the activies was a deam wall. She didn't have anything to write on it so she gave God the time to inspire. She ended up writeing the word SHELTER across the top of the page writing IS 56:4 "for this will be called a house of prayer for all nations" then she drew a tree around it. She was very confused by her dream and seeing it hanging on the wall a day before flying to Amsterdam she was frustraighted and crossed out the dream writing MORE FAITH over it. Coming to amsterdam she found our hostels were called the SHELTER + the verse IS 56:4 painted on our community house wall + a newly finished prayer room with a huge mural of a tree on the wall.
