Today, December 27th, means theres exactly one month until outreach. This is scary and exciting. There is still a decent amount of money that needs to come in, but God provides. It's faith that I need for God to somehow bring all of the money needed in. :) As of right now I don't feel super prepared for this 7 week outreach, but the outreach that I leave for tomorrow will give me practice with being bold and open with people.
Heres the official schedule for my overseas outreach:
In one month I will be going to Germany and the Czech Republic with three other students, and two leaders. In Germany we will be in Berlin for two and a half weeks, working with a YWAM base, doing youth group events and going to churches. After Berlin, we will be taking a train to the Czech Republic. First we will be going to Litvinov for a few days, doing street evangelism and working in schools. Following Litvinov, we'll go to Chomutor for a couple more days where we will be teaching English in schools and leading worship and prayer in churches. After those two cities, we'll go to Prague for two weeks, doing children's ministry, working with victims of human trafficking, and helping people that live on the street. We'll be staying in a hostel for the two weeks, and then we'll go back to Germany. In Stuttgart, we will be pioneering for a week and a half, which means no outreach team has been there before so we'll come up with what we're going to do there. For the last day of outreach, March 16th or 17th we'll be in Frankfort, debriefing and preparing to go back to Australia. We leave on January 27th and get back March 17th. About half of the funds for my trip is still needed. (The total is about 3500). The money will go towards the plane ticket, hostels, and food. Any amount would be greatly appreciated along with your prayers. Also we will have a Facebook page with updates during the outreach if you would like to stay updated with how our team is doing.
TOMORROW I leave for Byron Bay. We will basically be evangelizing on the streets and on the beach, and worshipping for the majority of the time. I also am hoping that I can get baptized in the ocean while we're there!! That would be so exciting :) (someone will record it and take pictures of course for people to see it back home) We will be there for a total of 8 days, staying in a local church. Our school was split in half by random so I'm excited to get to be with people that I normally don't get to talk to often!! I'm so ready to see what God has in store for me during this week away!
"As we begin the destination, the outcome is just as unknown as the unseen. You walk into the future backwards."
Thank you for your prayers..keep praying!! (safety and open hearts for the people I'll talk to in Byron Bay..Outreach money..etc.) :)
Love you guys..I hope you enjoy the rest of your break! Kari.
