Wales, Newcastle, and Albania!

I am going to Wales the 16-23 of March (leaving Sunday!) for a big DTS Gathering :) We are going to have lectures and then go out each day and do outreach, basically applying what we learn. There will be a chance for me to do some Photography outreach, and I am SO EXCITED about that (Since I almost did a photography DTS last year). 
We had an intercession time yesterday, and God basically shared some of his heart with us for the people of Wales. He (and now our school) have so much passion and excitement! We are so.... excited, haha I wish there was another word but that's basically it! God wants to bring much hope and love to these people.


Our school is then coming back for our last week of lectures, and then we are splitting up into two groups. One group is going to Bristol to do an Easter kids-camp then heading off to Liverpool to work on the Next Wave (which is YWAM on a ship! www.ywamnextwave.org). The second group (my group!) will be going to Newcastle to work with the newly formed base there. I feel so blessed to be going to my favorite city in England!

After our time in the UK, we will be meeting back together again for a week then heading off to the eastern European country of Albania! We have been praying about what to do while we are there and God has spoken a bit about doing work with many children/youth and outreaches on the beach, as much of Albania is a coastline. I am excited to be experiencing a new country and culture and bringing the love of God to a much-needed country. 

This week we learned about Biblical World View and Perspective. It was so interesting, and God was really saying to us "don't be stubborn in the way that you view things, or your opinions of how life is. I want to shake your world up!" It is a good reminder as we are preparing to go out into our outreach, to "put ourselves in the other person's shoes" so to speak.

In order for me to go and do all these things I've just spoken of, I still need to raise £1200 (about $1800) to pay for my outreach. So far I am receiving between $200-300 a month, and what a blessing that has been! God completely provided the last of my lecture phase in January, and I know that He is going to do the same for this. If you would like to be a part of bringing the gospel to an Atheist/Muslim country and showing love to the people of the UK, you can do it! This would meet a huge financial need of monthly/one time support and would bless me and the people of Europe in a huge way! If you feel this is you, please email me or donate on my PayPal button on the right! ===>> :) 

You are all in my prayers, thank you for the support and encouragement that you all have shown me. I love feedback and emails or Facebook messages, so please feel free to do so :) 

Love and many blessings from Harpenden!
