Just Go...

We have just finished helping to lead a short-term missions experience for people of the ages 16-22. Altogether we had 23 go to 3 different nations in Europe (Poland, Serbia and Romania). People came and spent 3 days here at the Youth With A Mission (YWAM) base, having teaching and orientation before spending 10 days in the country they applied to go to. After this we spent another 2-3 days back at the YWAM base debriefing.

Christy and myself helped to lead the team that went to Poland, and spent our time in the city of Krakow, which was the capital of Poland about 300 years ago. We were 8 in total, split evenly boys and girls.

It was a great team to lead as everyone was so willing to seek God and do what they felt He was saying. They were all quick to worship, so much so that when we would meet as leaders to talk about the day and pray for the team, we could hear them next door finding worship and praising God.

We saw God do so much in each of them individually as well as in the city of Krakow. They each grew and took hold of what God was teaching them quickly and willingly. They all came back with a new view of who they are, what it means to know God and what it means to do mission as a life style, not just an experience. We both felt very privileged to have been able to be apart of this season in their lives.
