Sorry its been too long. There's no excuse, I could've been blogging but I didn't. Forgive me...
Anyways we are still here in Iceland and we only have one more week unitil we leave to go back to Hawaii for a debriefing there.
Today I wanted to share about a ministry that we are involved in here in Reykjavik. My favorite, United Reykjavik, which is a regular church that opens its doors for the streets every Monday night. This includes the best worship band I've ever listened to, a great message for all the young adults living for the world but choosing to make the next step in living for JESUS (!!!!!), and a time where my team and I get to pray for this young congregation. We have made many friends in this church and we really have been stepping up in discipleship through the people we have met there.
Through this church we have been invited to several weekend retreats to help out and disciple the young members, the weekend retreat that we went on was a lot of fun for our team. A lot of break through happens through these weekends for these young adults who struggle with their hard addictions. I got to minister and pray for a girl, a friend and a new sister in Christ: Jenny. The very next day after the retreat she was going to go into rehab for a couple of months and needed help and prayer with her anxiety and unsettled nervousness for this next season in her life. I confirmed her in her choice and we came together and just simply loved on her. So many other similar stories like this from the weekend.
These students, young adults, brothers and sisters are simply trying to do whats best for them in their own lives so that they can pick up their crosses and follow the Father. Please be praying for this dear community here in Reykjavik, they will always hold a close place in team Iceland's heart.
This is so cool, Ellie, to hear about other Awaken brothers and sisters discipling in the nations. Makes me smile SO BIG!! I can't wait to see you and trade tales. I love you:)
