JSI TEAM POSTS

Lin. Lubbock, TX
Today was a little rough. I will post much more about today on my personal blog.


L.D. Austin, TX
In Duisburg today my team went back to the park where we have been at the past couple days. We saw D, but he was busy and we couldn't talk. I prayed today for the people I have seen a few times and will continue to pray for God to break the hearts of people with addictions. God is amazing, and He is continually answering prayers.


MSB. Idalou, TX
Today was a relatively hard day. I did not feel led to talk to anyone. So finally, L and I started picking up trash. I felt like I saw a visible difference.

ARK. Amarillo, TX
I don't know how to describe today. Before we went out, God broke my heart. As we got to Duisburg, all I could do was pray for the city and this week. Our day wasn't as exciting as yesterday in the sense of meeting people. GOd continued to break my heart throughout the day. Pray for the rest of this week and what happens at the parks.

i love jordan(the girl) and jordan loves lara(and she loves jordan and jessica):
today was a cold, rainy day. i had a conversation with 2 Romanian girls. i tried to share about church but didn't understand me and had to leave. i was sitting on some steps reading and a little girl came up. i said hallo and she said it back. i tried to ask her what her name was but she wouldn't answer me, all she could do was make sounds. it broke my heart because i couldn't speak to her so all we did was color. if you remember a while back i meet a lady at the park but didn't share with her, although the door was open. well, i saw her today but she was with a lot of guys drinking so i just prayed and asked that you will too. love ya! xoxo

God is moving in amazing ways. This one week team has been the biggest blessing to me! They are so encouraging and catch onto teaching so quickly. Not only do they understand it, but they act on it immediately. I am lucky to be leading such an obedient and God-fearing team! Tomorrow we have a visitor for church. She is an immigrant and is definitely desperate for church, fellowship, and the word of God. Pray that she finds a bible in her native tongue. Pray for church tomorrow. Im always praying for yall and i love and miss yall!

Today was amazing! First we had simple church and then prayer-walked with Spencer and that was good. Then after a bit I went to the basketball courts and cut my elbow, so we went to the station and got it bandaged. I don't think God wanted me to play basketball. I started praying that God would give me a sign that something was going to happen and that God was there. Then I saw a guy sitting about 50 yards away, and I prayed that God would make him get up and come to me. Not 3 seconds later, he got up, came and gave me some weird thing; I don't know what it is or for. But that was a sure sign for me that God is going to do something, already is, but something is going to happen. All we have to do is pray and wait for God's timing, and let him use us however He chooses according to His plan. God is so humorous and good!


WB, Baytown, TX
Today and yesterday were so awesome. We went to our parks and pr walked for a while and then played football and ping pong a while. We moved to the other park because no one was at the small park. We were there for a while and right before we left we met 3 guys. We met up with them again today and planned to have a grill party on THursday. Pr. that it goes good and our team will have a chance to share their story.



TMcD- Lubbock
Today C and I went to the library at the Fachhochschule and I was sitting downstairs studying a german book and spending time in prayer. C met a girl in the library that is going to meet up with us sometime soon and help us with our german, so that is really cool and I am excited about that. Also it was really rainy today but we went out to the park anyways...(rheinpark) and there was not hardly anyone out there but we were still praying for that person to talk to. We ran into these people that happened to be from America and we started talking with them. They asked us if we wanted to go somewhere to watch the weltmeister games with them so we were like okay that would be fun. anyways turns out 2 of the guys were guys that T had talked to earlier this week and they are staying at the same place that we are at everyday. We ended up going there to watch the games and A, who has been in all week bc she has a hurt knee, got to finally join us and that was a really cool time that we met people from a place we go everyday and A could join in. Today was really good and really encouraging to me. The Father showed me a lot today through the things we did and the things we read!

Its okay to tell God your frustrations and your anger and question God. Then he takes us in his arms and says "Are you done?" and he showers us with love and mercy and grace. And we feel totally unworthy to be children of the most incredible high, holy and loving God.


SC, Purcell, OK
Today was a good day. We were able to connect with our contacts from yesterday and make a few new ones too. Please pray for our church tomorrow-we have guests coming!


C.L. - Corpus Christi, TX
Today I met a girl in the library at the Fachochschule she was busy studying for a test this Saturday, but she said she would teach me German next week, so I am excited about that. Then we were prayer walking at rheinpark and we met 3 Americans. There were two brothers and their sister. They invited us to go to where they are staying. It turns out where they are staying is the same one we meet at everyday. It was really cool because T. had met those same guys yesterday. One of the guys seemed to really want to hang out with us . Please pray that he does.


A.T.- Columbus, MS
I stayed in again today, but was able to meet up with my team here and watch a game with some contacts. They are very interested in hanging out again, tonight even! Bad news- I will be leaving July 11 to have work done on my knee.


JE- Buffalo, TX
Yesterday was a day for sowing. but before sowing we PR walked the park a little bit. We were PRing for Father to send Christian English speaking Germans to our park. Also another PR that we lifted up was that one of my girls would met a Muslim child. well not long after PR walking my girls were playing soccer and they met 3 c's. so they all started playing and then another person showed up and wanted to play and he was a c to. two of them came to worship with us last night and one is coming tonight. another is coming to our HC tomorrow. the Father is really using these girls to bring glory to His name. PR for the relationships they made as i continue them throughout the summer. also two more girls in my group met with a lady that is just really desperate for some friends and just a really sweet lady. plz PR for that relationship as they try to share more with her today. I love yall and miss yall.
