Hamburg wand Bautzen


The 2 weeks in Hamburg were awesome it was really fun to see God work through us. God really used us with the homeless there. we became quite good friends with the guy who ran the place where all the homeless live. He never said he was the boss be we could just tell. We also had some great time of outreach at the 2 red-light districts in Hamburg. We didn't lead anybody to Christ or talk anybody out of being a prostitute. we we had some good conversations with them just showing them Gods love. Our lecture the second week we were there on Spiritual warfare. The guy that taught us his name is Sam Hoffmann he is a awesome teacher!! He spent 20 years as a missionary in India! It is amassing the passion and zeal he has for the Lord! It was so much fun to learn from him and go with him on outreaches into the city. I would love to go with him to India someday of take a secondary school from him. He is just a awesome guy. My sister met him several times during her travels to India. Also the second week we were there had 4 nights in a row of pray from 12:00am to 4:00am. 4 other guys and I made it for all 4 nights. It was some awesome times of prayer and God really came and was with us during those times. The 2 guys that led it are from Nigeria, in Nigeria all night prayer meetings are just apart of life its just something you do all the time. If we could learn to pray like the people that are not in the west we could change the would with our prayers.

In Bautzen It was suppose to be a week of mini outreach. We did some outreaches into the city and prayer walked. The best part of the week was just the rest we got, because the 2 weeks in Hamburg were go go go all the time. So it was really good to relax and catch our breath. The room the guys slept in was a youth cafe and it had a pool table and a foosball table and darts. We played pool all the time! it was a lot of fun. I have to say I was not to bad b4 i started but after playing about 50 games in 5 days i got a lot better. (if i don't sink the black ball to soon) We were suppose to get our visas that week but unfortunately they didn't not come in only one of our guys got them and all of the other none Europeans didn't not get them. Because of this we will have to came back to the YWAM base in Herrnhut after our month in Switzerland to get our visa. It is ok because our times are in Gods hands. 

The situation the ti posted last time with my passport has all worked out I didn't not have to go to Berlin to get more pages added. it is going to be ok. Thank the Lord. 

Thank you for your prayers

This first week in Hamburg has been very fun! One of the nights here I went to a place where one of the leaders of the base YWAM Hamburg does boxing training for Muslims. so it was quite fun to go there and do a bit of boxing and the training stuff. On friday night I went to one of the red light districts and got to talk and pray for some prostitutes. I have also had a few afternoons of going and talking to some homeless people we haven't ben able to talk with them to much about Jesus to much but just showing Gods love to them.

In my passport I have 3 empty pages and 2 of them will be taken up by my German Visa and one will be take up by one of the other countries that I will be going to so I don't have any more room in my passport. Ether this week or next week I will have to go to Berlin to the US embassy and get some pages added to my passport. So please be praying that it will happen and I can get a appointment.

Thank you for you prayers.
