Stories of how God worked in peoples lives.

1. Have you been inspired this week by hearing the story of Pick-a-Pocket? How so?

Yes i really bin inspired by there story's !

I'd love to listen to them , to hear God work in them.

I realized that no matter situation you are in God is there to.

Listening to Liz made me realize that God pushes trough even when you don't want to listen to His call.

I loved how she told about that she didn't wanted to do a DTS and had her reasons no to go.

But God took all these things away and guided her into DTS, i really liked her story!

The story of Ula, Ruth, Josh, Mona en Kristin was also a wonderful testimony of how God worked in them.

They had there struggles, it was not all just a romantic story; "we helped and saved people "

It was what they did (by the grace of God) but they shared the things written between the lines, the things u normal don't read.

I liked how they just started a cafe underneath a tree and gave the girls a new direction.

And how they walked from one village to another at the warmest time of the day , they listened to God.

Also the story about the baby's being killed in the tribes made a deep impact on me , this is so not what God wants.

More people must have went to the tribes and saw this awful thing, but i guess it takes a lot of faith and trust to actually do something about it.

I hope and pray that i also have the faith to listen to God's voice when He talks to me.

I also liked that Ula is now living in Ethiopia, i pray she gets her Visa.

The last teaching we had from Uly ( i hope i spelled his name correctly:) 

He spoke about action figures, and i learned a lot from his teaching .

Some quotes from the action figures ; 

"With great power comes great responsibility" from Spiderman.

" Nothing matters except the mission" from Batman.

Uly told about how Batman dos not have super power but is really smart and put these handy things in his Batbelt.

He gave us things to put in oure Bat belt ; here are some examples; 

1 train you're faith ; trust God.

2 Don not be afraid to make mistakes, dream , go for that, God is with you when you make mistakes.

3 The story of Erik;  "What would you like to do if you had all doors open"  "Don't do not do it". Have faith and go for what is on you'r heart"

4 Feed you're passion, it is you're responsibility to open up the Bible , to search God , to pray. Remember you're first love,

   have discipline to feed you're passion. Even when you don't want to, do it.

5 Endurance and commitment; Sometimes its hard because its just hard, something good can come out of it.

6 Pray; " Everything what i saw coming true, started with prayer."

7 "Do u really believe u can make a difference?"

And something that was important to me was ; " He will not allow us to miss the plan He has for us when we ask Him / pray to Him about it"

That takes away the worries i sometimes have about what God wants for me.

2. Was there anything you learned this week from the Pick-a-Pocket members experiences that you think will be helpful on outreach?

Yes they gave some "tips" that i think can b really helpful, for example ; Mona shared about having a heart for the country you are going on outreach to , she and Kristin adviced us to pray to God and ask that He would give us a love for the country.

To me thats important because i have a big heart for Israel and i know we are not going to Israel on Outreach ( still would love to go ;) 

so i want to pray and ask that God give me a heart for the country im going to on Outreach.

And really experience Out Reach, and let God work trough me .

3. It's good to make sure we are not forgetting the things we've learned about God from one week to the next. How are you practicing or using the things you've learned from previous weeks?

I read my notes again , just to study want i wrote down.

And when i'm in a bad mood i remember the things i learned.

And sometimes it feels like The Holy Spirit is telling me the things i learned about God .

Its a progress.

I always had a problem with praying, i didn't know how to pray or what to pray.

And here i learned how to talk with God , and this morning i went to prayer room and just started talking to God .

It really felt that He was listening, i know He did.

It was like talking to a person who is in the same room as you.
