K.M.G Marlow OK
There couldn't possibly be a better way that God could end this week! I got to talk to a woman for over three hours, and the majority of it was spiritual coversation. At the end of our convo, I asked if I could pray for her, and once I was done, I looked up to see her crying. No one has ever prayed for her, and she was so grateful. I can't express it!
D.F Hobart
This morning got off to a great start. While I was walking down the stairs this guy stopped me and asked me where the breakfast cafe was. I talked with him for 40 minutes and then he camp up for our worship time then I talked to him more. I am talking more to him tonight. Please pray for me to have strength and for him to listen to the spirit.
R.J.E Tishomingo, OK
Today was amazing. I really learned to be patient this week. He saved the best for last. I finally got to share my story with a lady. She was a Muslim who was struggling with what she believed in. I had a spiritual coonversation with ehr for 3 hours. She desires to read the Bible and be a Christian, but she can't because her parents and her fiance's family won't allow it. I told her God may have other things in store for her than getting married next year. I went over several Bible versed with her. She said... "The koarn doesn't make me happy, but reading this does." We prayed for her and when I looked up streams of tears were falling down her voice. She said, "No one has ever prayed for me before." Then as she had to go, she made us promise to keep in touch with her. Then we said, " I love you" in German and she started crying again. I can not think of a better way to end the week!
K.L San Antonio
Today I learned first hand that God can do amazing things through a surrendered heart. God has taught me awhile ago that no matter what, He is always good, but it is incredibly awesome to taste His goodness.
B.S Haskell OK

Today was realy blah and by the time we got back to the hostel, I felt discouraged byt what seemed ike such inactivity I almost look at th afternoon as a waste, even though we spent time pr walking around the park. We did get to play soccer with a group of kids who are absolutely amazing players but I think I did okay after shaking off some of the rust! We have another play date tomorrow. God did show me some things through what happened today and taught me some lessons- I do see Him in the midst of things. Please pray for great sensitivity to the Spirit's direction. I am thinking of you all and praying for you. Love K!
KG Marlow,OK
I got to make friends!!! and besides that, I pretty much didwhat I do best: sit back, watch, and pray. There wasnt a ton of activity, but it rides with the motto: Obedience over activity. God is great :)

CCC Muldrow, Ok
Hi. Today was long and tiring. But it was ok. I didn't get to see some guys I met yesterday though. Bye
KMG Marlow, OK
Today? Wow... I tried to talk to a teammate early on amd couldn't find the words, and it really irritated me. I finally just stopped doing everything amd G truly showed me that my job today was to pr for my fellow teammates. I did, and it made me realize how amazing pr is(once again). I needed to sit own so I did and some young asian kids came up. They didn't speak any english, but their smiles and laughter meant so much. J loves the little children, all the children of the world...
KL San Antonio
One of the leaders here gave me a word of encouragement before we left for the afternoon and I pr walked for a while about G's direction and for particular people to speak ti because yseterday made me sad. I did get to talk to a woman I spoke to yesterday who is really nice and speaks English fairly well. We didn't get deep but she comes to the park at the same time everyday so I plan to approach her tomorrow with purpose and keep PR for her heart. The rest of the afternoon turned out to be pretty uneventful and borderline discouraging (again) until I got into a conversation with a lady who as really friendly. For the first time I had spiritual conversation with someone and we were able to share the gospel and plant a seed. When we left for dinner I was so full of joy and I look forward to what God is going to do the rest of the week. Keep pr for me and I can't wait to see you all again. Much love!
DG Stillwater, Ok

Today was a little discouraging as far as the depth of most of my conversations. I still trust that God has me here for a very specific purpose and He's going to use me. Mom, please tell the fellowship to pray for an Iranian lady thatg I met today and her small daughter and her sister. Also the language barrier and more opportunities. Other than today's little disappointments, I am doing well and having lots of fun.
KG Marlow,OK
Today was definitly an experience. It took me awile to connect with what we were doing,but once I truly let God talk control, t was great. Thee's a little bit of culture shock, but everything is going to be ok. God's got it all under control :)

Hey everyone! After a 7 hour delay in New Jersey, we finally made it to Cologne! Today we walked the streets of the city and rode around on the trains and subway type busses. we also walked into this massive cathedral which is now just a museum for tourists.
