DeCLarAtion OF A World CHanger

Today, I will live honorably through my thoughts, actions, and speech. I choose to be full of faith; I will not only be a hearer but a doer of the Word of God. I will serve before I demand, I will love and not hate, and I will give before I take. Today, I choose to make a difference in this world and to be a part of something bigger than myself. I choose to dedicate my life to prayer and ask God for His miraculous power and the courage to do the impossible. I will make Godly relationships a priority in my life as I esteem others higher than myself. Today, I will live my life in such a way that I will Change the World. ~~

Mission Accomplished!

The missionaries have had an amazing 26 days! They have prayed, painted, hiked, skated, landscaped, laughed, cried, sung, acted, ministered...and loved. They have bonded and made friendships that will last a lifetime. They have changed the lives of others, as well as their own. In their last few days at headquarters in Texas, they will share stories and hear about the other missions. They will prepare to head home and continue to change the world, in their own hometowns. To God be all the glory. 

Pack up your bed, Katy, it's time to come home!

(you can see her white bed in the middle of the floor...well, of course.)

'Fun Day' in Edinburgh

                                                                                                                                                                  Alas, Tuesday was their final day in Scotland. They spent their 'fun day' in the capital city of Edinburgh. They shopped for souvenirs and toured historical sites, including the famous Edinburgh Castle .

In His Service

Working with Overtoun House they partner with area churches, skate parks and a local elderly home to do service projects and personal evangelism. On certain evenings, they run 'youth nights' where they  hang out with 16-25 yr olds, getting to know them and sharing Jesus. They also perform their drama in the city streets of Glasgow.  One day, the team was practicing their drama and noticed two random teenagers hanging around outside the center.  They invited them in to ‘judge’ the drama and get their feedback.  By the time they were done, the 2 teenagers had both made commitments to Christ and have been back to the church for other events since then. God is moving...in Scotland.

You can see 'Katy' in her yellow converse shoes in the 1st pic (yes, she is a proud member of The Converse Crew). You can also see her in the last two pics in the skate park.

Whistle While you Work.. ♫♪♫...♫♪♫

The missionaries have been working hard!  Besides their street ministry, they have done lots of painting at the Potter's House, as well as grounds maintenance at Overtoun House.
