So this week we just learned about a lot of foundational things. Such as devotionals, mediation, and what it means to be a disciple. Did you know that being saved and being a disciple are two totally different things? God calls us all to be disciples but it’s amazing how few Christians actually go do that. To be a disciple we must walk in the footsteps of Jesus, we must enhance the earth. To be fully devoted to Him is to basically “hate” yourself. This is because the true commitment to God is so strong that our own pride absolutely ruins what God calls us to do. The only thing worse than dying is a wasted life. To be a disciple is to be disciplined. Salvation costs you nothing, but discipleship costs you everything.
Anyways, this week absolutely flew by. On Friday night we had a graduation for the school of digital filmmaking here. After it was over, some friends and I went into the city and just walked around and got coffee. On the way back to the train, these two guys were asking people walking by if anyone had a lighter. I had one, so I stopped and let them use it. As I said “you’re welcome.” They noticed I was American. Then came the inquisition of where I’m from and what I’m doing. As I explained I was from Texas, they kept going on about how “f-----d up” they were. I just listened as they went on and we started talking about music and what not (they love steve aoki too! :D). Then we realized we were taking the same train home so we sat next to each other and talked some more. We actually had a lot in common, so they were really easy to talk to. I was able to just love on them like Jesus would, and eventually the subject of YWAM came up. I got to share my testimony and tell them what being a Christian really is and how God has been working in my life. THEY ACTUALLY LISTENED AND ASKED QUESTIONS! It was so awesome! One said “Dude Jesus like washed peoples feet and stuff? THATS SO COOL.” hahahaha. I added one of them on facebook and I’m gonna try and keep in touch. I freaking LOVE opportunities like this. I’ve only been here a month and God is already giving me chances to make a difference! Well, I really have a lot of homework to do. So I must be off to get all that done. HOWEVER, being called to Germany is a VERY pricey outreach, so if you feel led, PLEASE donate. It’s really hard to be a missionary if the funds aren’t provided. So even if you can’t give anything, if you could just pray for me and that God will provide, that would be awesome! Cheerio!
<<<<<<< TEAM GERMANY!!! :D
