SAGE has been here this week and it's been amazing! I just want to thank all of you at iGo so much! LS and BC, everytime you teach I feel like my head is a sponge and I just learn so much from you! And everything you've taught us at base camp has applied here and I've really started to understand the importance of being round! I hope you're all having a great summer!

CRT, Depew

Today was great, i just love having the Sage girls here. It was freezing but we toughed it out and didn't let it slow us down. God is really at work at the University park and i'm excited to see what he is going to continue doing. I just love how you pray specific prayers and they get answered like almost immediatly. I just want to thank the igo crew with everything they taught us and sending us on this awesome opportunity.

JLB, Hinton, OK

Hey to all you iGosians out there, things are going really great here. Father is doing some awesome things. It's kind of crazy to think that there was actually a point behind the red bean popsicles and blindfolds! You guys are awesome and we really appreciate all you've done to prepare us for doing the Father's work!

Postcards for today...

Today the JSIs used their postcard to write a note to the iGo Global Staff...

Notes to iGo Staff

iGo Staff – I have been having an amazing time here in Köln. I thank all you guys for putting me on this team. I feel God work in my life as well as all the others. We are reading Acts and I got to Acts 20:22-24 and this broke me. Again, thank you all. Love ya and miss you. See you all soon. –GH

My heart goes out to the iGo staff today. Thank you guys so very much for giving me such a beautiful and amazing serving opportunity. Thanks so much for all you guys do, in prep work for us to be here right now – you are the beginning of things that happen here – like a salvation. I pray you guys rejoice in that – you are as much a part of being on God’s obedience as even the Sage girls being here sharing Him with the nation. –AR

Thank you for all your prayers. Everything at Base Camp, even unplanned, happens for a reason. God’s doing big things already. I’ll eat a little extra Nutella just for you tonight. –CC

Friends at iGo! I want to display to you the utmost gratitude for your prayers and your spirits for me and the rest of the team. It’s exciting to be a part of and a representative of such a Spirit-led organization. Thank you for sending us to continue God’s ancient work.
In Him –LS

God has been doing amazing things here! Base Camp really helped prepare us for this trip.  I just wanted to thank y’all for helping us make this trip happen! Y’all are great! We love you! –CD

The teachings of the ancient work and the joy of the sower have become very evident these past two weeks. There have been several conversations with people who heard from past teams. –JD

iWit – I have no words to tell you how grateful I am for your obedience in sending students overseas. Father has destroyed my dreams and ruined me to the American dream. He has taught me through the words you’ve spoken to me in a way I never expected. Thank you for treating us all like family. -LJ

Hey iGo Staff! Just want to thank you all for your support. It has helped me so much. Thanks for the pr-s as well. Thanks N for pr-ing for me last year. It has helped a bunch. And C, thanks for your encouragement! Love you guys –CM

To the iGo staff – I just want to say thank you – for being obedient to God’s call. Most of you I don’t know personally, but what y’all do means so much to me and God has used this to give me a passion for missions. I love that the focus has always been on glory to God, which has really challenged me in these past two weeks. Thanks again! -AP

Hello iGo! I hope things are going well in the office! Tell Jimmy I said “sup?” and Crystal Happy Birthday. I love you guys and miss you! –KT

Hello all iGo people. I just want to say thank you for everything you have done for me in the past… a lot of years. Y’all have blessed my life in ways you may not even know. I can’t fit in this small space how much of an impact y’all have had on my life. I will never forget any of the things you have taught me. My life is the way it is now because of your ministry. Thank you so much! I love you all! -RB

Things have been good. God is going to do so much here with the JSI team, and with the week teams. God loves you! -RL

God has taught us so much the past two weeks! It’s amazing to come back after last year and to be refreshed. I learned so much in the first three days at Base Camp, stuff that I’d forgotten or missed last year and it really prepared us and brought us together, unifying the team! We know that God is working and has been long before we got here and Satan definitely doesn’t want us here. Pray for us as we deal with spiritual warfare and that we will grow closer and lift each other up even more, that Satan will cause himself to fail because we continue to grow stronger and share with others. –MM

I really appreciate everything y’all have done and are still doing for us. All of the time y’all put in really helps us and we all greatly appreciate it. Thanks again. –CH

Hey iWitness! I just want to tell all of you guys how much you mean to me. God has used this ministry to bless me in countless ways. Each of you has taught me something that has molded me and will continue to do so. I’m praying for you guys! –SK

Hello iGosians! In particular the one named Michael Krik! Just wanted to thank y’all for the very effective training and teaching. I apply it daily. Miss you guys. –KK

iGo personnel: Thank you so much for the teaching y’all gave us at Base Camp. The work here would be futile and difficult if we didn’t have that foundation. THANK YOU!!! –AD

I feel bad I haven’t thanked y’all already. Y’all put so many countless hours preparing and training us. You’re truly a blessing. –HP

I have grown immensely this summer thanks in part to the amazing teaching I received from iWitness. You guys are awesome. You’ve really helped me in ways I can’t describe. –JC

Thank you for preparing us to be here. It really helped when we were given random food to eat and perfume poured all over our mouths. We just had to take it like eating popsicles with beans. –JJ

The following posts are from Monday, June 25th. We were unable to post them, as our internet was down.

HEP. Stafford

I have a new love, two acutally: peanut flippies und peppermint tea... please have them waiting on me. :)

KT. Rockwall, TX

Ok so I asked Father to make me desperate and go figure, He did! My heart is very heavy today for the people here. I am not sure why, but for some reason I am more aware of the spiritual depravity. P-R for Father to keep moving in mighty ways for the locals and our team!

CC. Mannford, OK

Went out to the park again yesterday. We found an awesome Mexican Döner place for dinner. We'll be hittin' that place up a few more times.

CWM, B-wood, TX

Well, we found that one of the parks we went to yesterday is a no go for the teams we will be leading. But there is an interesting story that happened along with it.

MEM. Custer, OK

We're all finishing our reading of Acts, and it was been awesome the things we've learned from it. The Jews over and over again wanted to keep Christ to themselves as their own personal Savior, but God wanted all to know Him! We are not to sit and keep God to ourselves as though He is only ours, the world needs Christ!!!

SMK. Boswell, OK

I am looking forward to this day as I sit and write this post. God really spoke to me through my LTG today. I know He is refining us and tearing down strongholds that we put in our lives. Pray for us as we become desperate for Christ.

CD. Grapevine, TX

Yesterday we pr around a park to see if we felt like it would be a good park to use this summer! We ate dinner then met back at the hostel for worship! I was a really good day.

JD. Newton,TX

Yesterday was a good day. The park we went to looks like a good place for a team. Today is sowing day, so the Sage team will be returning to their park from yesterday to sow. I am going to a different park to sow and plan for a team.

GH. Wanette

We went out to a park and PR walked over it. We (JSIs) are looking for parks that we feel God wants us to bring groups to. I feel like God is working here with us.

AR. Wichita Falls, TX

So, today we will go to try to meet people in the park we have been praying for. I'm super excited! Woo hoo! Okay, things are going well. Much love!

KK. Rockwall, TX

We returned to outreach sites yesterday. I went back to NP near the M's apartment and walked and prayed to determine whether or not to return there with a team. Then we had a nice time of corporate worship with Sage. Good day.

RL. Depew, OK

Hey things are going great with the first team. I am going to meet a contact today and her name is "A." She really needs your prayers. Thank you!

JCJ. Duncan, OK

Yesterdat we talked to a Turkish man in the park. He was like 80 and swung on rings in the trees. He was very nice but didn't speak English. However he share some interesting things with us such as fruit, candy, and perfume he shoved all over our mouth. It was an interesting experience.

LS. Artesia, NM

Hello friends. So yesterday I had the opportunity to be a part of a German worship service... everything in German. It was amazing to know and feel that common band in Christ. All nations praise the Lord. In Christ, L.

AD. Mustang, OK

Yesterday, we went to “NP” to prayer walk over the park as Father prepared it to receive His Word. Our PRs need to be that the soil here is plowed so finely that His seed is sowed on a luxurious bed of soil.

AP. Plainview, TX

This week the big thing I have been learning is to keep my eyes focused on Jesus. I’ve found myself being distracted by things going on at home when all I want is to praise my Jesus and my Savior.

JKC. Duncan, OK

I’m excited about today. I’m taking my guitar out to some parks and getting some good footage on video. Can’t wait!

RB. Center, TX

Hey all, um… yesterday me and two others worked in the office for a while. We also went to a place called “Chor” and prayer walked to see if it should be a site for teams. And then we ate some really good cheap Chinese food.

CH, Frankston, TX

The week just started and I am already very excited. Yesterday a man gave us gifts then put some pungent Turkish cologne on our upper lip. Pray for us, the next two weeks will be very busy.

CRT Depew

Last year when I came to Germany I wondered why I needed to come half-way cross the country to pray, but now I know that I'm just supposed to be here this summer even if all I do this summer is pray. I now know that prayer isn't just apart of what were doing but it is the foundation of what God is doing here.

JLB, Hinton, OK

Today was our first day out with SAGE. It was a good day. I'm pumped about how the Father is going to work through them.

LC Edmond, OK

Today was our first day on site with SAGE. They are all very inspiring girls. Today was plowing and it was awesome to see Father work in them.

JKC - Duncan, Ok

The past 2 weeks have totally changed my life forever. There's no going back from here.. only forward. Hopefully as the summer progresses I'll be able to tell you how God used me to change someone else's life!

CD Grapevine, TX

Yesterday we prepared for the Sage group that came this week and for the groups that well come throughout the summer. We all ate dinner together and then came back for worship. It was awesome. I love seeing everyones talents come together as they lead worship! Afterwards, I stayed to help decorate some rooms for the summer!! I'm getting really excited about this summer!

RL - Depew, Ok

Things have been going really well. e got our first team, and things aren't crazy yet, but we only have 12 people. We are still getting ready for Falls 1. I have really gotten to sit back and look at what God has been teaching me. I have grown so much in just 2 weeks.

HD So Cal

Last night was really a changing and moving part for me through observing the other interns, God has been moving my spirit and I have reached a point of change. More is happening than I could have imagined.

RB Center, TX

Yesterday me along with a few other interns took our first one week group, the SAGE girls, out into the city to get familiar with the streets and trains and all that. It was really fun showing them around and seeing their excitement. Keep praying for all the one week groups as well as the JSI's here all summer. It has been amazing so far. Pray that God will do huge things this summer!

KT - Rockwall, TX

Pr that Father makes me keep my focus! and that I would engage in the work and engage with my team! Also, pr for the Muslim community here, Father has really been filling my heart with a burden for them to be free!

SK Boswell, OK

Yesterday, I got to go with the Sage girls on their Streetwise and it was quite fun. They were totally jet-lagged but did very well. Please pray for the Sage group as they go out to their site today. Pray for me as well as I seek out Father and listen for His voice.

CH Frankston, TX

Yesterday I painted alot, and the Sage girls arrived safely and everything is going smoothly. Continue to pray for us as we do our best to obey what the Spirit is telling us.

JCJ Duncan, OK

Yesterday I worked in the office preparing for the groups to get here. I called a girl I met in the park last week. She is going to meet with us on wednesday. She is excited and so are we. Pray that God works in our conversation and allows us to build a great relationship.

ALR - Wichita Falls

Halo from Deutschland once again! With the Sage week starting today(and not leading that group) the rest of us are in different parks scouting and praying in new areas. I'm super excited to see the Lord's vision for all the groups to come and for us as JSI's. So, all is hunky dorky here! Yay!

AD Mustang, Ok

Today and yesterday we've been preparing for the groups to come. Yesterday we took care of some logistics, itenaries, name tags, and other things. Today we're splitting up into groups of 3 and 4 going to different parks PRing to see if Father wants us to take groups there of not. Also please PR for two guys that a friend and I met the other day that we'd be able to stay in contact with them and have a chance to talk to and disciple them.

CWM - B-wood

Well, today we are going out to several parks to pr on whether we are supposed to go to them or not these next few weeks with the small groups. So, that will be exciting.

GH Wanette, OK

I went shopping yesterday and I enjoyed it. The shopping places here look like the movies. It's fun. I also painted that was really fun. We got to throw the paint onto the paper like POP Art. Then we wrote verses on the pop art paper. It looks really cool.

JD Newton, TX

I helped make ID tags for the group yesterday. It was very humorous. We will eat lunch soon, after which, I will leave with a team to prayer walk around a park.

CC Mannford, OK

Yesterday we painted, splatter painted, to be precise, paper for decoration in the different rooms. It was fun. We barely missed the rain twice yesterday and our decorations weren't destroyed. Me and another girl get to hang out this week with another friend who lives here in Germany and get to know her better.

KK Rockwall, TX

Today sage arrived @ last! it was a day of preparation, though, as theres TONS of logistics and other things to be worked out before Falls Creek A comes next week. Since Sage is relatively samll, leaving me along w/ about 15 other JSI's w/ another ministry week. So we'll be going to different sites and see if its a good outreach area. Cant wait to see what will happen.

MEM Custer, Ok

Staying in the Word is essential! To share Christ, we first have to be poured into. We cannot shake out our cup, it has to pour out, to pour out we have to be poured into. If all we focus on is the people we are sharing with but dont have our own quiet time and rest and refreshment in the Word and God, then the work that we are doing will never be as big as it could be if we daily abide in Christ ourselves. We would be hypocrites to tell others to stay in the Word and be discipled if we ourselves did not continue and be discipled in the Word. While we are here there is so much going on, we're all tired and very busy, and its easy for us to say i'm going to sleep or i dont have time to get into the Word myself right now. Please pray that we can find that balance, being in the Word ourselves this summer is essential.

C.D. Grapevine, TX

I am so excited to be here! God has and is going to continue to do great things! I can't wait to see what he has in store for us this summer! I feel so blessed to be on this team!

LC

There is truly no way to describe the things that Father is doing here this summer! He is teaching me what it means to be humble and in the process I se how big and powerful and great He is! Our team is amazing and I am challenged and encouraged by each one of them! I can't wait to see what Father has ahead of us!

SK

My experience thus far could be summed up in the words "life changing." Father is teaching and refining me. I look back on the last few days and am amazed at the way Father is moving in all of our lives. Please pray that we would just sell out to God's plan and remain obedient.

JKC. Duncan, OK

Things are amazing here. It's a little scary at times, at times the future is a little daunting, but at all times our Lord is watching and taking care of us. I'm excited to see what unfolds this week!

RAB. Center, TX

Hello everyone, Germany has been amazing so far and way too much has happened for me to write here. Please pray for our team because spiritual warfare has been heavy on us - even though it is hard and scary at sometimes we have joy that only God can give. I hope everything is going great wherever you are and thank you for your prayers! -RB

MEM. Custer, OK

Germany is amazing, God is teaching us something new every day. Yesterday we were waiting for the S-bahn talking about how much luggage each of us brought. DL said that the more he travels he realizes the less stuff he needs. God spoke to Shawn through that and he said you know the more we spend time with God, stay in the Word, pray fervently, the more we realize we're getting rid and leaving behind a lot of stuff that we once thought was important. Keep us in your prayers.

HD

I will keep it simple. I have been learning more here than I have ever imagined. The sgrpup is amazing here and God is moving my spirit.

JLB, H-town

Hey guys! It's been great so far. The Father is doing some awesome stuff. We've been Pr-ing a lot, and I'm excited about what's happening. The enemy definitely doesn't want us here so keep pr-ing for us!
Love,
JLB, holla!

JCJ. Duncan, OK

It has been a very busy yet great 2 weeks. I am learning so much. God is working in each of our lives. I am so excited to see what God does in our lives and in the lives of the nationals in the next 6 weeks. Keep us in your prayers. I can't wait to tell each of you all that happens here.

GH. Wanette

Hi! God has been working a lot in this team so far. I have not has a real contact yet, but I know God will lead me to someone that is in need. I love Köln and the people here. I ask that the people will Pr for us to lead us in God's will this summer.

ALR. Wichita Falls, TX

♫OH HAPPY DAY!♫ I'm having an incredible experience in Germany thus far. Father is doing amaz-za-zing things and has incredible plans for our super Spirit led team - the unity is like none I've ever seen. Can't wait for future days.
Striving to be obedient,
ALR

LS. Artesia, NM

Hey there,
Things here are great. The hearts here in Germany are ripe and are becoming ready for the harvest. I'm going to have plenty to tell everyone and I'm really excited about that. For now, farewell from Köln. Tschüss.

CH. Frankston, TX

The past week and a half have been awesome. The Father has been teaching all of us to rely on Him. Sage comes in today and we are all ready to have a group in. Keep praying for us.

KK. Rockwall, TX

Hallo! I've been fone 2 wks now and my experince thus far could be described as bitter sweet? More sweet than bitter, but it'd be a fib to say it's been peaches this whole time. These weeks of training have been some of the most radically different and altering weeks ever. Just know I am well, I am growing, and I miss you all. Hold down America for me!

CC. Mannford, OK

Things here in Germ. are great. Awesome things are already happening. I've met some great people so far. It's been two weeks since we left home, but it doesn't feel that way.

HEP. Stafford

It's good to see the "m"s live their lives. They live it as would any other person. The only difference is they're doing it overseas.

JD. Newton,TX

The past ten days have been awesome. I've learned a lot about walking in the Spirit. Our first group is coming in today. I pray that their week will be awesome for them and that Father would do some amazing work through them.

AD. Mustang, OK

I've really enjoy the time we've had in Cologne so far. The way the Spirit is moving is already blowing me away. The JSIs are a great group, very encouraging. Please pr for strength and unity.

CT. Depew, OK

Well this summer has been amazing and the Lord is very much at work in this place. And right now I'm just trying to live in the Spirit and walk with Him step by step.

CWM, B-wood, TX

Well, the first group comes in today. I know Father has prepared us to take them in. He has taught us so much about obedience that we will be able to see what Father wants us to do and share with the Sage group.

KTT. Rockwall, TX

I love it here! It is already so obvious that Father is going to use this team in ways we never expected. Be P-Ring that we stand strong against the enemy, he does not want us here and is trying to hit us hard. I miss and love you all!

RL. Depew, OK

Everything is so cool. GOd has been working in my life so much. I have a contact, "A." I would like it if you prayed for her. Tschüss = goodbye!

ARP. Plainview, TX

"To the praise of His glory!" This is what we have been learning since case camp, and it has been so humbling and inspiing. Because it doen't matter what or where He has called me me to do because the bottom line is it's not about me it's about the glory of His name.

Summer Interns 2007

The Interns (JSIs) will begin posting soon!
