This week we had Josh Cole speak. He runs a YWAM base on the north Island of NZ. He spoke about hearing God's Voice. He spoke about a lot but a couple things that stuck out to me was that we need to be open to hearing God at all times. Prayer and worship are not things that we do but things we live. I've heard that said before but this time I think it's going to stick.
The biggest thing that I got from Josh was this "God likes you and He enjoys spending time with you." This really just hit me because I've heard to saying that "I love that person but I don't love them" and I subconsciously applied that to God.
We had our first small groups and one on ones and both of those were really good. It's going to be a good way to get closer with people and to process things. We also had our first Bible study. Which is more about giving us tools to study the Bible more effectively and make it more enjoyable. While doing this I had a thought that I might want to do a School of Biblical Studies after my DTS is over. Who knows, I'll pray about it and see where God leads.
This past Friday was the first Queenstown Evangelism time. So the whole class goes out and evangelizes in Queenstown. This was very difficult for me because I really don't like talking to me. I think this is going to be a good for me but it is going to be a long haul to overcoming my fear man.
BUNGEE JUMPING!!!! So on Saturday we went bungee jumping. It was 134m and 8 seconds of free fall. It was one of the most terrifying and exhilarating things I've ever done. I was terrified until after I jumped and had the initial feeling of "I'm going to die" but that lasted only a second and after that it was incredible.
I went to City Impact Church and the people were nice, and I like the atmosphere. I think that's the church I'm going to stick with for now.
Until the next update.
