He Provides, Once Again

This past week has been great. Our teaching on Identity in Christ was really eye opening and a really great way to start out the quarter. I really feel I got a better view of my identity in Christ.

What I really want to share with you is how God provided for the Warren family yesterday. The Warrens are the directers and founders of our base. Their daughter, Rachel, was leading a School Of Worship outreach in California when she fell off a horse and hit gravel...she fractured her skull and got hurt pretty badly. she is healing good and they are going to start driving her home on Monday (because she can't fly). They have about $3000 of hospital bills that their insurance can't cover so we had an offering for their family yesterday during worship. In our minds we wanted to raise about $10,000...it sounds crazy but we felt it's what God had for them. So from about 200 YWAMers we raised $12,000!!! God is so good. With everything that the family has been dealing with this will be such a blessing. They need a rest, a time for themselves with everything that has been happening. God is so good.

We also did a silent retreat yesterday in the mountains! It was a really good time. It's amazing the things God can teach through us just listening instead of talking. I think being silent is something I need to work on more.

Prayer Needs:
  • REST...physically, spiritually, and mentally
  • finances, i still need about $1300
  • health, there's a really bad flu going around that some of the girls have gotten, please pray for all of us here on base because it's miserable and we don't want anyone else to have to go through it.

Thanks for all your prayers.

Love and God bless.
