We have just finished the sixth week of the eleven week lecture phase, learning from Sean Naus about the character and nature of God. I came here wondering what I would have to offer these students and why exactly I am here, but I have realized that I am actually learning from them as much as they are learning from me. Living with the girls and being a dts staff in general has taught me that really this time is not about me, but it's about all the students and their pursuit of a deeper relationship with God. I am fully encouraged by every single one of them. They have all sought after God so hard and have made him their lives. They cannot seem to stop talking about Him: I love it!
We have already heard lectures on relationships, father heart of God, inductive bible study, and hearing God's voice. Tomorrow half of the school felt individually called to be baptized and I am so excited. Next week is going to be the 24/5 prayer week where there will be someone praying at every minute of the day for five days straight. God really moves during this week and I am excited to have a 12am to 2am shift. I am still playing rugby twice a week and in an indoor soccer league. The students are also involved in local ministries such as christian surfers, 10-20 ministry, skate ministry and surfers for missions international (SFMI). It is amazing to see God move in the local community.
There are only five more weeks of lectures left. The topics consist of evangelism, old vs new covenant, missions, and of course prayer. It's past halfway and everyone is feeling physically, emotionally, and spiritually drained. Please just pray for strength and rest at these times.
