Hey everyone! Everything is going great. I have 3 people i am meetin with on a regular basis. two boys named D and D and a man named R. R and i took a walk around the park and just talked for about an hour. i am meetin him tomorrow also. i am also meeting the two boys also. we might be going on the sky lift acros Koln. even though they dont speak much english...there is just some connection there, I cant explain it but it is very cool! they want to be with me. they invited a friend to come with us today. it is very awesome. even though i have been here 5 days, i am already attached to them, i look forward to their company. god has worked in my life so much (isaiah 6:8) this is my calling, my passion, what God has called me for, to make His name famous not mine, to put me 2nd and him first. I love you all so much.

Pink Team!

MK, Perkins

Today we sowed in our park. It was really interesting to get to talk to the people around here and learn about them. I'm having lots of fun! I really can tell this is what I need to be doing especially after today! I met a couple of boys. They were quite a trip. They were most definitely German! They played soccer and made fun of us in German. Ljinkish!

TB, Walters

Today we went back to the Rhein Park. We pr walked for a while and then went out to make contacts. It was awesome to just go up to complete strangers and start a conversation. Our group is supposed to meet with a couple of contacts tomorrow. Please pr for R and A! Pr that God will soften their hearts. Pr for wisdom and strength as we talk to them tomorrow. Pr for salvation! God is doing great things!

JK, Mounds

Today we went through the park and started sharing with other people. It was very interesting, I remember that I met a turkish man who couldnt speak any english, but we communicated with hand signals and simple words. I love all of you and thanks you for praying for me. LjINKISH

TN, Skiatook

Hey everyone! I am having a great time. I met 4 people today. I got to share the gospel with one. His name was R. Two of them were two 14 year old kids that i played soccer with.l I about died. They were toying with me the whole time. I was exhausted. I am meeting them tomorrow again at 3 and R also. The other was a woman. She was telling J and I that we should go to the gay parade. I dont know why but 4 people have thought i was gay. Homosexuality is very prominant here. I have seen things that i never want to see again. Its just a new culture. The 14 year old i played with was smoking. Well keep me in your prayers. I love you all and Brittney.

Arrival Day

These are the pink postcards from the first day. Technical difficulties kept us from posting them. Sorry about that. So now here they are!

DO, Mustang, OK

We spent our first day in Cologne traveling around attempting to get to know the city. Thank you to all of you who prayed for me about the flight. I wasn’t a huge fan of it, but it was alright. Continue praying that my physical and mental well being will be all working and stuff so that I can focus on the task at hand, and mom thank you for the cards. I read both on the second day of base camp! I miss you all- you know who you are! See you soon!

JCB, Hinton, OK

First day here…awesome! We got to walk 5 jillion miles today and eat some sweet Germany food!! I got some Euro money to buy food and junk. Thanks for the prayers.

JK, Mounds, OK

I felt that the first day was very exhausting. After my large group got off of the airplane we had to move around the city so we could learn how the transportation system works. I feel very tired right now, but I know it will get better. Everyone who has been praying for me, keep it up and I love all of you.

MK, Perkins, OK

The flight was great. I love flying. I pretty much slept the whole way, it was wonderful. We got to see the city today. It was so interesting to begin to see the new cultures. And I’m very excited to begin working in the city.

TB

Today was awesome. We had great sessions and praise and worship music this morning. My trek group and I prayer walked around the Rhine Park this afternoon. I could really feel the presence of the Lord. It was awesome! Dinner was great. Coca-cola light and Margherita (cheese) Pizza. Yummy. Please pray for my allergies. They have been bad today. Yuck.

G, South Haven, KS

Today we got up and ate breakfast, had worship, and learned about plowing. We read Acts. We'll be reading 8 chapters a day this week. Then our trek group went prayer walking. We went to Rhine Park for 4 hours. It was alot of fun! For dinner Im having a Margherita (Cheese) Pizza and a coke! Hi mom, dad, Nate, I love you!

Hello Family and brittney,
Everything is great here. My jet lag is gone and I am back to my old self. My family group is great. I've been hanging with Jordan and Makayla. The weather is good here. It's been kinda rainy here but nothing bad. We prayer walked for 4 hours today at the Rhine Park. I got to talk to a German today. It was exciting...but he was drunk. I couldn't tell though. Germans hold their liquor very well. We are doing alot of walking. We walked into the Dom Cathedral. WOW! That was amazing. I have never seen anything like it. We walked up the tallest tower, it was 500 steps high. Tomorrow we are going to be at Rhine Park. Well I love you all very much, and I can't wait to see you again. Brittney (kiss!)

JB, Hinton (the little one)

I saw Jessica last night and today! My JSI's are really cool. We prayed for like EVER today! It was awesome, Germany is way great!
