Rejoicing for ONE!!!

First, I want to ask you to read one of my earlier blog entries 'Bible Study' (December 3, 2011). H'okay? =) 

Now - If you have completed mission number one, we will hop to 'Bible Study' to be continued and what happened this week... 

Thursday Outreach into the city started with a time of worship at Tompkin's Square park. The entire day I felt God tugs that He is going to show something amazing. My heart was expectant. 

We has donuts and tea-coffee to share with people in the park and passersby 

 Many stopped. Enjoyed coffee and donuts. God's love and conversations =) 

This is Victor and I

(the same person as in my story) 

 

60 days sober. Home. Life. Jesus. Mercy. Joy. Gratitude. Grace. 

He testified. 

Please continue to pray for my friend, for my brother Victor... 

Manhattan Prayer Station pictures

One of the ministries that we do as YWAM Cornerstone is going out into the city with a prayer station. Here are some pictures from a couple weeks ago. Enjoy and maybe even come and join us here at YWAM Cornerstone ;)

This was a Discipleship Training School Thursday activity/outreach into the city

We were in the Lower Manhattan - East side

Many were encouraged to see a Prayer Station in the city (our two Arts and Design students: Selgee and Richard)

Dahye getting contact information- so that we could continue praying for those we met on the street

Why New York City?   

New York has a gift to the world - the Gateway of Hope to every nation and tongue!

New York was and still is a doorway to liberty for millions of people. Engraved on the monument of the Statue of Liberty is the invitation “Give me your poor and your tired.” Jesus said, “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” The immigrants were given a gift of hope and freedom of religion – to seek True Life! God’s heart for New York is to be a gateway of hope for the salvation of millions from around the world! The mission field has come to New York City.

We are inviting people from every corner of the earth to come and join our Cross Cultural Discipleship Training School in the City of Nations!

How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”’ (Romans 10:14-15)

DTS is designed to help you understand God in a deeper way and live more like Jesus. It is based on communal living, which starts with a 12-week classroom phase, followed by an 8-week outreach time. The school emphasizes cross-cultural exposure and global awareness, preparing the students to go out into the nations to proclaim the Good News! 

When: Starts September 10

Where: YWAM Cornerstone Training Facility

Cost: Lecture Phase $3900

         Outreach Phase $2000

A Gateway of True Hope! A Chain of Blessing!

This is Naomi - a very dear friend of mine from Minnesota - Uffda! The last five days were spent in the Midwest - with lots of green color and an unending amount of space for my eyes to explore and behold -  unending fields that are to be planted or in the process of receiving various kinds of seed(s). 

This is Steve and Toni Thorsons, Naomi's parents. Steve is the pastor of Crossroads Community Church in Cokato. I was privileged to share about Youth With a Mission Cornerstone in New York and a bit of my personal story with the community this past Sunday! What a joy it was! 

here is the link to a page for YWAM Cornerstone on their Church web page and a recording of my sharing time -> click ;)

shalom to you in this humid evening in New York =)

I skipped a week - patches of light

I skipped one week - not writing, not posting, not scribbling down stories and new revelations - simply because it seemed there was nothing to put down on a piece of paper - to mark the week as distinctive and worth the ink and trees.

It was a week of pressing in really hard to the choice of being patient, loving, kind in word and action, fixing eyes upon things unseen and hoped for. It was a week of constantly finding myself fail as I pressed in - and yet at the same time loved unconditionally. It was a week of grayish mornings, afternoons and evenings - with patches of light here and there. Sometimes very hard to spot, to recognize - To step into - no matter how small or weirdly shaped they were. There's always a patch of light to find.

It was a week of pining for a mountain top while sitting in a sandbox. To see further. To see more than the stretch of my own arm. Walking empty-handed and heavyhearted. wrong yoke. wrong burden (I have chosen).

 a song for a heavy heart (to become light)
