Time will go on

Here is a quick update on some stuff that has been happening here.

Last week all of the MotA students did a “faith walk.” Basically, they were each given a euro and assigned to teams of five and then told they had to leave the castle and couldn’t come back for four days.

What we thought would be pandemonium turned to blessings. They all took the opportunity to just go out into the communities of Germany and the Czech Republic and bless people by working for them, playing music in the streets, and serving with odd jobs around the churches.

Some of the other staff and I did a mini faith walk for one night because we had to be back for work the next day and ended up discovering this old monastery about 20 km from here and attending a service there. Then we proceeded to venture into Poland, unable to find accommodations found a park for the night and headed back in the morning.

The staff had a harder time than all of the students did.

At the end of the week we all got together in the dining hall and just told stories about our time, and saw the way that God worked through, and in, all of us over a good meal and ice cream.

 

I get to have a couple of “one-on-ones” here at the base from the MotA student pool. Which basically means I will get to mentor a couple of the girls during their time in Germany for Lecture phase and also after they return from their outreach. I am super excited about that.

Yesterday all of the people that are into photography at the base had a meeting with the base leader, Jan, about a new project that he wants us all to participate in. It’s a worldwide photography campaign “shoot for what you stand for” or in my case, what I stand against. I plan to take photos maybe in Varnsdorf, Czech Republic, which is 20 km from here right on the border, and contribute them to the project. If you want more information on the project check out this video from Ted.com.

As for work against human trafficking, we started a prayer and intercession group here at the base for it. Right now, it is just a really heavy topic for everyone involved in it, and we are trying to see where God wants to lead us in this journey. One of the things that we were thinking about this week is how many abortions the women who end up in prostitution rings under a pimp have to have… at least 12 or so over their career, and it is not even about the mother’s own choice, but the ability for her to be able to work for her pimp.

It sickens me. That is thousands of lives every year.
