finally more pictures...and another update

Last week our theme was worldviews. We covering different topics such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Mormonism, and a few others. Chris Toney, our base leader, was our speaker. This week we've had Brenda Lewis, from YWAM Axiom in New Haven, Connecticut, with us. She has been sharing about destiny. A lot of focus has been spent on God's desire for relationship, relationship with Him and with others. It's always overwhelming to really sit and attempt to absorb how God actually desires relationship with us, not simply for us to follow a list of rules or to perform certain duties for him. No, he actually wants a reciprocating relationship.

We've looked at our different personality types, giftings, and dreams to discover more about God's calling on our lives. It has been interesting to see different themes woven throughout each of our lives that relate to the passions and desires we have for our futures. I've definitely been learning more about my dreams and I've also been impacted through hearing the other students and staff staff speak about what they see in me. It's one of the benefits of living in community. As a team we've been able to appreciate the differences in each other, to support each other and challenge each other.
