Then it got interesting

The last two weeks have been totally unexpected. If I thought that I was coming here to learn to do mission work and help people, God is starting with something quite different. He is working on us first and in a deep way. Lots of breaking and healing is taking place with all the students. At first I was a bit uncomfortable w/ how intense it was, but it has been a blessing. Almost every day, lots of crying and vulnerability before God and each other. Lots of encouraging words and already alot of growth. There is an almost continual atmosphere of worship and prayer around the base, which has allowed ample opportunity for God's presence. Like I say, I was not expecting this at all and sometimes I still sit back and say, wow God. I like what He's doing. It's a privilege to be here at this time. What will come out of this in our outreach is much more than anything we could do otherwise.

Thank you to everyone has been praying!
