Outreach

Week 4 complete and onto Week 5!

WEEK 4
We had Jeff Wilke and Kim Hunt come and speak to us as well as having Jeremy West speak. We covered topics that included: small groups, one-on-ones, conflict management and resolution, crisis management, working a classroom, setting up an outreach, being recharged-staying healthy in life and in ministry, and culture shock. It was a lot of information last week. I found crisis management very interesting and how important it is that in the case of someone dying, that you consider the culture they are from.

Last week was very busy for me. I had a book report due on the Leadership Paradox. It was a great book about being a servant leader. On Tuesday, Annie and I presented on Championing Young People, a YWAM foundational value. It went great! On Thursday, I was in charge of preparing worship. We meditated on Psalm 37 and we listened to a few songs. One of my new favorite songs is Yearn by Shane & Shane.

WEEK 5
This week has been very exhausting and it is only Tuesday. Tonight I presented on another YWAM value, Having a biblical worldview. The presentation went great...Thank you Annie! Yesterday we started our week of outreach here in St. Croix. We did prayer driving (praying/interceeding while driving around the island) and then we did some group praying in Fredericksted. Then in the afternoon we split into two groups. One group went to Mombisue (spelling unknown) and then the group I went with felt we needed to interceed on behalf of Contessa Nadia Farber that lives in a castle on the east side. All we know is that she is an older lady that bought her title and sometimes lives here in St. Croix. We will see throughout the week if we are to do anything more than pray for her. On friday we hope to have an evening event with some guys from the community that come to the base for basketball, your prayers for this evening that hearts and ears will be open to hearing what we have to say to them.

Next week we have Jim Isom coming to speak to us. Friday is graduation and then Home again :) The time here has just flown by, I can't believe I am almost done. God is amazing and has really been giving me more confidence in the area of leadership and discipleship.

Thank you all for your prayers!

Love, Kathy
