Number 8:

From Alfie: "Tell them of Jesus on the cross. That's all."

How sweet is that! I told Alf-man that I was updating my blog that my family and friends read, and I asked if there was anything he wanted to tell y'all. And that's what he said. He's four years old. The faith of a child, right? This little four year old boy gets what life is all about: telling about Jesus on the cross. That's all.

Just thought I'd share that. God has such huge plans for this little man, and I can't wait to see what they are! I wouldn't be surprised if in the not too distant future he was an annointed worship leader known world-wide. Even now, he's sitting in the Kinsley's living room making up worship songs. Such plans our Father has for him!

Ok, on to my week. . .

We've been going to Acts every night for the revival services! The other people at Alabanza are calling us addicts! :) And oddly enough, I'm okay with being addicted to the presence of the Lord. I'm thinking it's probably the best thing to be addicted to, right?
God is showing me so much!! I can't wait to see the plans He's shown me unfold. I haven't even been here a full week and I'm beyond pumped!! He's going to do big things this summer. And they aren't going to stop here. He's equipping me and preparing me to return to the States and to OBU. Man, I'm excited to see how He moves this next year!

We leave for Cape Town tomorrow morning. That's exciting! We get to see Claud and Mary (sorry, if I spelled that wrong) and their daughters. Yes, Austin, I will tell them hello for you and get pictures. And I promise to be sure they remember you!! haha

And then I'll meet the other interns on the 5th. I'm really praying for a spirit of unity among us. That we would be able to serve with one mind.

PRAYER REQUESTS
That I would continue to be open to every thing God has for me
Safe travels for us to Cape Town
Safe travels for the other interns to J0-burg and then to Cape Town
Preparation for the camps
300 salvations through the camps

That's all I can think of for now. . . . Love y'all!!

Walk in the power and truth of who you are through the blood of the Lamb!

Thanks for the wonderful update! AND for sharing what Alfi said. . . that really spoke to me personally. Stuff going on that seems so 'vital' at the moment really isn't - it is nothing in light of eternity. . . it all comes down to the cross. I love you and am continually praying for you!

Ha ha I know Claud and Mary will remember! Goob. I'm glad to hear that you're liking Acts! Who all is at Alabanza now? What's it like, because I'm pretty sure they got major renovations for the Awakening? I'll definitely be praying. Oh, and I'm super jealous you're going to Cape Town.

I'm so excited for what The Father's doing in and around you! Your update was so encouraging, as was Alfie's interjection. I look forward to when I get to meet him someday. I'm praying for your trip to Cape Town and the arriving interns.
