I have arrived in the beautiful hills of New Zealand and it's definately sheep country!! Here at the base our main meat source is lamb...which is really good. we have started our training classes and it's amazing. I really feel like all this focus on God is where I needed to be. I'm hearing God's voice and he's starting to really show me what He wants from me out of my life.
The people here are awesome and come from all over the world! Tonight we are going into Christchurch...the nearest big city...to do some evangelism. When i think of evangelism, i think of people who are confrontational and in-your-face about sin and all that. However, that's not what we're doing. We are about building relationships with people, getting to know them and sharing our own experiences with God. We get to pick where we want to reach people and as some of you may know, I have a heart for troubled teens. I will hang-out with teens at a music venue every friday night! I'm ready to see what God has in store.
good news...my health is getting better. I was pretty sick with a cold when I first got here and now I'm finally getting some rest and getting healthier! Praise God!
the lectures and classes are applicable and I love how it's not just about getting more knowledge...it's training for life and how to live. It's about knowing God more and changing my perspectives on the world and my relationship with God! Thank you for all of your prayers, financial support and encouragement. Please don't stop...it means so much to me and you're helping to further God's kingdom!
Love and God Bless,
Nicki
