A couple more weeks have gone by... no... have FLOWN by! Lectures have been great as speakers continue to be more and more amazing! And last weekend we made a trip down to Miami with two other schools (School of Evangelism and Basic Leadership School). We spent both Friday and Saturday nights volunteering to help the police department during the big Memorial Day events. It was our job to help with crowd control where all the clubs are located... basically keeping people out of the streets so as not to get hit by cars and asking them to abide by the laws of the city so as not to get arrested. We started this at 7:30pm Friday and stayed out until about 4am. Then a few hours were spent sleeping on the floor of a church, eating some food, and back out at 7:30pm to do it all over again. This was a pretty cool opportunity - to be involved with the church in Miami Beach and their interaction with the community and police department. All in all, it was definitely an intense experience!
This morning was one of my most favorite things yet! We normally have worship and intercession with the entire base on Mondays... but today was unique! The School of Worship set up the entire room with multiple stations allowing for different types of worship. One station had a big bag of soil, little pots, and all kinds of flower seeds. This represented life and creation with the Father. Another station had a Christmas tree with a plate of cookies, little presents under the tree, and a box to put a note in. The presents were a list of the gifts of the Spirit... and we could write a note to the Father. Next to that was a big table with paints and brushes and newspaper and blank pages for us to create something for Him. Then there was a table with pens and paper for you to write a poem or song or draw something. There was a separate area behind that, a secret place, with a mirror to see how wonderfully you were made. And the last station had fire (a candle), wind (a fan), dirt, dust, and water... all with verses corresponding to them. The whole room was covered with candles and filled with worship songs from around the world. Of course, I'm leaving out SO many details! If you know my heart for worship... you know how incredibly impacting this was!
Outreach is only 3 weeks away... CRAZY! Plans have changed a bit... we're going 3 different places instead of just 1. And finances are coming in... exciting!... please keep those in your prayers.
