So we headed to Cambridge for a week with the April 2011 DTS (Discipleship Training School) which I am helping to lead. It was a time of real strengthening of friendships as a team, we all had such fun together. The city itself is so beautiful, with the university area and all the old town, buildings several hundred years old. We just don't make them like that anymore. The city is also full of bikes, simply because it is easier to get around on a bike.
We joined up with the YWAM team in Cambridge and got the chance to do a number of things during the week. The really cool thing about the week was that this is the first time that YWAM in Cambridge has had a team come and join them, and the week we were there another team had come over from the States, so there were a lot of us!
The first couple of days was spent working with a new church plant, we ended up going door to door to talk about the church and offer prayer for people. i was so surprised at how open people were, and how many people truly wanted prayer over some really significant things in their lives, we even got to pray for healing for people.
The other few days were spent doing a lot of prayer round the city, as the team in Cambridge have launched a new 24/7 prayer initiative for the next few weeks, with the aim of establishing a permanent prayer house in the city. This was really amazing, being able to write down things that God had said. I also found out that nearly 20 years before God had spoken about the establishing of a prayer house in the city, so to see the vision and dreams being walked toward is amazing.
All in all the team and I had such an amazing time, it was a really good way to be able to spend time together encouraging each other and actively practicing some of the things that have been taught during the school so far.
The team :)
