This week

Wow God is amazing. So last week project go handed over to us and it was good but last week was hard we didnt really rely on each other and for me i didnt even rely on God and so it was a hard week. Wednesday we had a reflection night and i prayed that God would bond as a team more and that we would become closer and has He ever answered that prayer like crazy. Tonight we had a worship and prayer night and it was so amazing. We had one girl pray about something that she never thought she would pray and it was amazing to see. We all prayed on her and prayed for what was going on. I prayed and then somebody came around and prayed for us. He prayed for stuff that he felt like God was putting on his heart and what he prayed for me was stuff that i needed to have prayer for. God is amazing and we serve and awesome God. Thanks for all the prayers and everything that you guys have done.

God bless

My heart

So God has been changing my heart in amazing ways on project.

The main one is that I feel a calling to be here in the Inner City. I don't know if that is truly what God wants or if it just the truly amazing things that I've been seeing here on project.

The 2nd week of ministry site made me realize this. The site we were at was just amazing. We had a VBS and the kids are so hungry for God and wanting to know Him and so are the families. But there are issues from holding them back from going to the church and to the S.A.Y YES program and that would be an invisible barrier because of gangs. There are gangs at the place that we did the ministry site and there is another gang at the place that we would meet at thats where the Church and S.A.Y Yes center is. So these kids who are young arent able to cross that barrier because of the gangs that they arent even involved in. That broke my heart hearing that. I saw these kids come to know the Lord and saw them hungry to know Him more and more in there life and seeing that they might not be able to go to these things because of Gangs broke my heart and just made me want to see a change.

Slowly God has been giving me visions and wanting to change that area according to His will.

I know this is a short blog but this is just what God has been doing in my life.

PLEASE be praying for me. That i will follow God and what His will is for my life. I really need prayer for that right now.

God Bless,

Lauren

1st week on ministry site

Hey all. So God has been so amazing this week on are first week on are ministry site.

The first day was kinda hard. We have to take a bus for 2 hrs there and 2 hrs back so a total of 4 hrs on the bus. Monday we didnt get to work with any kids really. We just did training to see what we had to do and how to evangelize to children. Well towards the end of the day the leader of the site we are at wanted us to go to a park and talk to little kids at the park. Us as a team were kinda worried about this because we didn't know how to do it because there is so many issues in this society about going up to kids and just talking to them at a park because they automaticlly think pedafila. So it has hard but God worked on are heart.

Tuesday was the first day at the site. We do a bible club and it was so amazing. There was only a total of 4 kids and 6 students. But God worked on their hearts and one girl raised her hand and wanted to hear more about God and salvation. She decided that she didnt want to know anymore. This is also the day that we went to a bible study with are action group and it was so amazing to just hang out with some amazing women of God who are always challenging us women here on project

Wednesday the same girl who raised her hand on tuesday prayed to receive Christ with another student on project and that same day I talked with a girl about Christ and she had already accepted Christ but she needed some more information about stuff. So that most amazing to see how God used the students here to work on these kids hearts and how they could do some amazing things in their life.

Thursday was another great day at the site. More kids showed up and it was just so cool to see God used those times to see how they were so open to hearing the Gospel. That day God used me to to lead a child to Christ. It was so amazing to see how He can use us sinners to lead other people to Him. He has just been humbling me in so many ways. That was the day i also meet with my discipler and it was amazing. She is a strong women of faith and she has been just challenging me and and encouraging me at the same time. I love it.

Today was are last day with these kids. And it was so sad to leave these kids that i have gotten to know so much this week. But i know God will keep working on there hearts and working on it.

Please Keep praying for this whole project. That not only me but everybody here on the project with keep growing in there faith and just trusting God and knowing that He will do amazing things.

Thanks everybody.
