Hello everyone!
sorry for the long and overdue update!
i arrived in Kona at about 8:30pm July 5! The time difference here is that we are 4 hours ahead. That has been a little interesting getting used to. Hawaii feels alot like Thailand, mostly because of the trees here. They are called banyan trees, they are gorgeous and i want to climb all over them.
On Friday I had my first day of 'classes.' The leadership track here is for staff & is designed to make your relationship with God stronger. During the mornings we practice serving the base wherever it is most needed, and in the afternoons for two hours each day we have corporate worship and intercession. My 'work duty' for the summer will be hospitality, cleaning and getting rooms ready for all the speakers, etc. But for many of the other staff doing the leadership track/school it will be helping doing the summer surge.
Summer Surge is when people from all over the world will be coming to help build new buildings on the campus. The base here is fairly big-but the problem is we are needing room for MORE! This gives people an opportunity to use their giftings and talents to be apart of what God is doing internationally at this base in Kona. more about summer surge
Serving the base wherever it's needed allows us to practice and put into our lives 'servant leadership'. On top of both these things we have to memorize scripture and alot of it. The goal is to try and memorize the entire sermon on the mount as well as do alot of book reports during the school.
I will post a video update later this week once i have had a full week here!
PRAYER REQUESTS:
-one of my pieces of luggage was lost on my calgary/san francisco flight. Please pray the airline finds it and it gets here soon!
-dilligence in my studying
-that i would begin to meet people and grow in relationships.
-that i would grow in expectations
-that i would be open to what God is going to do during this time.
if i had a camera i would post some pictures of what my base looks like for you guys!
just picture palm trees, cool looking trees, flowers all over the place and you are pretty much set. this place remind me alot of thailand. :)
