Van Captain!!!!

I want to highlight last weekend outreach so you will all know what Jesus did. I had the honor and priviledge to be van captain. Now the van captain's job is the co-pilot, he/she makes sure no one is left behind, the van is in proper maintainence order and to help navigate (I love navigating). The first challenge of our trip was the threat of bumper to bumper traffic. Previously the first van went ahead of us an hour before. John Harding (Staff) calls us letting us know that there was an accident and no one was moving for an hour. So as the navigator, me and Anton (Driver) had to come up with a detour in New Hampshire were I never driven before. So with my excellent, sweet, totally awesome navigational skills I charted a new course around the traffic. Taking back country roads through New Hampshire we finally reach the major roads in which take us to the Olive Branch Christian Bookstore in Massacuessetts.

This bookstore is made out of an amazing old house. It has a coffee shop in the basement and each room has books and or CD and other Christian stuff. On the ground floor we had Jessica (Richmond, VA) Noah (New York) and Nate (North Carolina) play enviornment setting music. This music filled the house which set the mood for ministering to people on the third floor. There we had dream/ministry teams.

The spiritual air in that room was so thick, people we ministered to at times just sat eyes closed in silence for moments at a time. With no words The Prince of Peace touched them without any effort on our part. Great instruction and encouragement came from the dreams God gave people. One woman had a dream that warned her about that certain people will convince her of training for her leadership, but in reality the offer will hurt her. Another woman's dream gave her insight about her role in kids lives and to pray for her coworkers in the corporate world. Everytime I hear peoples dreams I'm blown away at how much God Loves people. You can't escape his loving voice.

After the Book store we went to Analee's (Mass.) elagant house to eat a luxurious meal. There we soaked up such a blessing of hospitality and comfort. Thank you Analee's parents.
