KAM, Lubbock, TX

I have been so blessed by the Super Summer Global students. I have really enjoyed the pink trek. We had a great church time today. Thank you "pink" studnets for opening up, being real, and sharing your lives and the Gospel with the group. Your faith, insight, and prayers have brought me so much encouragement and joy. Thank you for answering HIS call to reach the nations in Koln, Germany.

I am also very excited about the new ministry site. Three weeks ago when I was prayer walking around the city, I saw a park and began to pray for it... that God would send workers into the feild. Yesterday, when we arrived on site, I realized that I was at that same park. I was an answer to my own prayers- WOW!! The power of prayer.

"A" thank you so much for opening up during house church and sharing your hurt, pain, and struggle with us as you deal with your dad's battle of cancer. You are a strong, brave, godly woman. I am praying for you and your faith. I am also praying for your family, for comfort, peace, for healing for your father, and that the Lord would be glorified through it all. Hold on to God.

Mom, Dad, Carson, and Jonathan,

Today we got to go to the sites that we are going to be at this week. We went to FHS and to a park. We prayer walked at both places to "plow" the ground we will be on this week. There was a playground at the park with a lot of children. I prayed that I will get a chance to play with them and build relationships. We get to start talking to them tomorrow. I love you.

Hey yall!! Today we plowed (prayer walked) FHS and a park. It was awesome to know that God wants us to be apart of His ancient work. The park is wonderful. There are so many people and families. These places will be where we "work" for God this week. The week's motto is obedience over activity. We saw many people to "work" with this week. Please pray for these two places this week. I love you all. Thank you for praying. Love, AR

Today we prayer walked at two sites we were assigned to. Our pink trek is an amazing bunch of kids! I'm excited about tomorrow when we get to try to talk to people. Pray hard for us. I love you Jason, Cory, and Jordan! I miss you guys. The people here are so interesting and I can't wait to meet some of them. I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow. I love you.

Howdy guys! Today was amazing. For almost 6 hours we walked around and plowed at a park and a tech school. It was great and guess what! NO jet lag today. I'm 100% and going strong. I have learned so much and God is teaching and showing me some things I need to do. The other students here are amazing and I'm building great relationships. It's like we have known each other for a long time. Oh "plowing" is going to outreach sites a day before and praying for the area "on site with insight" and with Jesus eyes and spirit ears. Cowboy up!

Hi everyone!
Today was a great day. We went prayer walking at a college and a park. It was neat to see where God has put us this week. They are two different places. The college was empty due to school being out, but we walked around and prayed for the students and teachers there. At the park there was a lot of people. We prayed for the safety and for opportunities to talk with them. Experiencing prayer walking for a day was a cool thing. It really shows you more of God's creation. God bless! I love you!

Dear Family and Friends,
Today has been a wonderful experience! The food is pretty good; I like it! Today we went to our OTA's! We have 2; one is a college campus and the other is a park. We did prayer walking at our OTA's today and will start talking to people and developoing relationships tomorrow! I recovered very well from jet lag and already have a ton of energy! My trek rocks! I miss you all so much! *Bunches of love*

KEC, Duncanville, TX

Today we went to our ministry spots. First, we plowed (prayer walked) the local college, which was completely empty. We plowed a lot about the students and the professor who leads a home church there. Then we went to our parks which was so cool! We plowed it up there. I love Koeln and my pink team. God's teaching me a lot through the M's, the JSI's and my team. Mom and Dad: start praying; I think God wants me here next summer. Pray that the girls get a chance to play soccer with some other girls. Also, pray for the park and university -- our ministry sites. I love everybody!

Hi again! Day number 2 is almost over...tear! I am well rested to day after oversleeping this morning. Go figure, right mom?! We began today by plowing our OTA's which included a college and a park. We get to eat lunch every day with the college kids, and tomorrow I hope to play soccer or swing with some kids at the park. The food has been extremely good, but I ordered sweet tea for supoper...I forgot it came hot! Pray for our group to begin developing relationships with the people we meet. Much love-A!

Hey yall,
We have had an awesome day. I slept like a baby last night. We plowed up sidewalks today. AKA-we prayed. We prayer walked at a college anda park where we will be ministering at this week. It was really cool how God would bring things to my mind I could pray for. It was a cool thing to do. Tomorrow we will start building relationships w/ people in the parks. Pray that God would bring diving appointments. So I am doing OK and I'm felling well. So anyway, I'll see yall later.
P.S. Happy B-Day Zach!!

We prayer walked today at our two sites, a tech school and a park on the Rhine River. We plowed for students and teachers at the one and a tanning area and some kids mainly at the other. Find our picture under the Pink Team or something like taht. I think I'm pretty much over jet lag, but time will tell for sure. I was thinking about yall today when we were on the tram to go to supper at a pizza place. It was about 5:30 pm which means that Sunday morning church was just starting! You wouldn't believe how many just hang out at the park here. It also rained almost all day so even though we thought it would be really hot (for their standards) but it turned out to be cold and wet...better than 110 degrees in Texas!
