How am i doing?

Well I figured I have bored you all with the facts and details about what life is like over here in an American college, so now I would like to take this opportunity to tell you about how I have, already, felt myself grow deeper and more mature in my faith.

OK, since I have got here I have had this awesome experience and feeling of Gods Holy Spirit about the place, I love it, I pure love it and I have never felt more on fire for ministry, or have had such a burning desire to serve God than right now.

God is blessing me, continually, and I praise and thank Him for that. He motivates me, keeps me attentive in class and is really opening my eyes and heart to learn more of Him.

Living here in such a diverse community has been amazing, we are all learning little things about a lot of different cultures world wide but at the same time we are all similar, we all have a desire to serve God with our lives, and I am so thankful for that.

God works in so many ways. That is something that has been on my heart lately. For example, just last night Chris, myself and a few other friends whom we have met over here decided to go for a wee walk to the shop for an ice-cream. We were halfway there and Chris said he needed to go to the bathroom, so we stopped at McDonalds so he could use the toilet in there. While I was waiting for Chris this homeless guy asked me about what time the church service starts at on Sunday. My first thought was, “oh no, I’m going to be hounded for money again” but I was so wrong, God had scheduled a Devine appointment for that time between us. So I thought to myself maybe we can minister to this guy and share our faith with Him, but instead he ministered to us, for about an Hour and a half. He told us his entire life story, and man; it would make an awesome film. He has been through a lot! He humbled me so much, I mean he had nothing, but he was totally content with that. I have basically everything I could want and I complain that the food, which I have in an almost infinite supply, isn’t tasty enough!

It was so encouraging to be there at that time, infact I loved it so much that we stayed and talked for ages and I didn’t even go get my ice-cream, we had to go back to campus as I was just about to break Curfew.

Another great encouragement to me is the people, my friends here, they are all on fire for God and so passionate, the other night we all met for a prayer meeting and it was the most, intense, passionate and truly amazing thing I have experienced in a long time, God is really working in the lives and hearts of these people, so my request is that you all pray for myself, and this school. Pray that we will start to make a difference in this world. Little by little we can all work together and make a massive impact for Christ across this world. We can all do this (I am talking to every member of WPC as well) if we really want to make the difference we have to start right now!

So lets go out and make that impact, live a life totally sold out for Christ!!

God Bless
