How GREAT is our God!

Even though I am not directly involved in the iDTS, besides hosting the weekly staff meeting and meeting the students occasionally, my heart is involved in prayer and I love hearing from Rich at the end of the week what God has been doing.

Yesterday, Rich's small group had a special breakfast at our house.

There were 3 Americans, 1 Korean, 1 Fin (from Finland) and a Maori from Tauranga! It was great hearing a bit more about their families and seeing pictures. I also learned that the word for "Thank YOU" in Korean depends on who you're saying it to - - - hmmm, interesting!

AND - that in Korean culture, you don't ever consider people that are of a different age than you, friends - - - hmmmm again...

Everybody is learning heaps - not just about culture - and seems to be enjoying the school a lot.

This week, the speaker was Frank Naea, former president of YWAM. He's the funniest teacher/preacher ever and makes everybody laugh all the while passing on incredible gems of understanding about God the Father. The ministry time yesterday was AWESOME - - - lots of tears... good tears!

Just to give you a taste: one of the students wasn't even a Christian when he came. He was mostly interested in the cute girls. He has since been born again and baptized. Yesterday, he yelled out, "This has been the best day of my life!" - and it wasn't because of the cute girls but because of GOD touching his life very deeply!!!

Rich says that he can already see incredible change in each of the students! WOW!!!

Bring it on, God!!!!
