Renewal

Hi everyone! This week has taken it's tole on me. It's a learning experience for sure!!! Prayer in my side has been scarce; time and scheduling has sucked much of the joy out of Outreach. Miscommunication and miss understandings make this all the more challenging, however renewal has come and I thank all of you who bared the frenzy of my panic. :) I have so much to learn, patience, understanding and spiritual endurance, not to mention HUMILITY. Sometimes I get very tired of not knowing what's going on and taking responsibility for it each time something gets changed. My focus has been hard to nail down and I feel very much out of touch with our vision. I'm hoping to regroup, delegate and move forward as one unified force. It's funny, I feel like the majority of my adult life will be spent finding out what I don't know. :) I wouldn't trade this for the world. all my love,

laura

Week 4: Jan. 20-27

The Focus Groups have finally taken form this week! We have set up approximately 3 in both the centre and north schools. After 2 meetings there has been a clear understanding of what is needed!  This is a renewal week and it is fairly exciting to see what is going down. We have had to come around together and redirect our focus and our pace. After our meetings on Thursday we went to the beach and did evangelism and worship. Friday the girls danced hula again and the boys went to the b-ball courts. The weekend we were taken to caves that were lit by candles and was filled with fresh crystal clear water. Then we went to the Sonic flood concert. Sunday we put on a BBQ and had people come from both the Zion and Touch Point Churches.
