BYRON BAY!!! What an adventure!!

Hey there everybody!! How you all doing?

Byron Bay:
We are back now up at the Sunny Coast three hours from Byron. Got back yesterday around noon. This last week was CRAZY, INTENSE and filled with some AMAZING stories that are only what God could do!! This is the first time I have been able to get on the computer sense last time. The only Internet we had was a the girls house, where they all sleped. The guys got to sleep on the very so comfortable floor filled with bugs and huge cockroaches at the church that the Byron Bay base it associated with, this was where we had all our lectures and meals everyday. There was so much that happened everyday that I'm even a few days behind on my journal. Monday was the first day of everything, we had worship as we normally do on Monday mornings than started it out with lectures right after from nine to one a clock. Our speaker Kevin Sheel, is one of the Byron base leaders he was such a great guy so soft spoken and just had the gift of Evangelism. I was so blessed to have had him this week. We also had another leader from Byron, Ian is his name he was in charge of all the planning and the heading up on out reach times. This guy has the lord and a passion just burning for Evangelism I learned so much from this guy.
Evangelism opportunities:
Monday night we did "Cardboard Testimonies" where we wrote down words on that we felt led to. With that we than went into the city and walked around, sat at a bench or on the sidewalk, some people brought their guitars and bongos with, talk about humbling yourself and giving up your pride while doing that. This sure brought up alot of conversations that was really cool to see.
Tuesday: We had lectures for about three hours tell ELEVEN than as a group we took off to Nim Bin (The Weed Capital of Australia). We went there set up some tables, grills and we brought sound equipment and instruments in a small park in the middle of the little city than had a free Bar-Bay. We gave out about 200 Snags (hot dogs) with chips and had live music there. It so cool to see these people how open they are also with our DTS students how they so boldly stood up and made conversation with these people and handing out free Bibles.
Wednesday: This day we had lectures until Two in the afternoon, than that evening we stayed in Byron Bay and brought the sound equipment again and set it up in this park by a bus stop in the city. This park was really filled with the Aboriginals of Australia, we had people sharing their testimonies on the microphones and the rest out talking. We gathered money from the students that had some money to share and got about twenty five pizzas and handed pizza out. This was a very big, intense night and huge growing point for all of us, it was such a sweet night.
Thursday: This was our last day and night, lectures went until about 11:30 and than we were having a volley ball tournament on the beach. We brought the big speakers again and two nets, we all partnered up and went out tying to find team mates, I partnered up with one of the leaders (Jay Reed) we found two guys from the Netherlands they are backpacking Australia ( which is HUGE HERE), and entered the tourney as the "Mighty Ducks" with 32 teams. We made it to the Semi finals and than lost, just barely. Following the tourney we had another Bar-Bay right their on the beach for anyone to come, it was such an awesome out reach opportunity!!
This is it for all the evangelism times we had scheduled this last week, as you can see it was packed to the top of stuff. The Lord gave us strength and protection through the whole week, which was such a blessing. This was a very challenging and growing week for all of us yet a very successful week having many come to Christ and so many seeds planted and showing up in such huge ways with heeling's and stories that would take days to tell. Again thanks so much for all your thoughts, prayers and supporting me through this huge growing opportunity!!! I know for a fact this is where I'm supposed to be.
BLESSINGS!!!
