LAQ-Harlingen,TX

Today was kinda funny day for summer; cold and wet. As I'm writing this I'm inside the restaraunt where I had my first Turkish pizza and MezzoMix.MMMMMmmmm.....So today we prayer walked and it was cool because we began with that and ended with it too.

BM-Grandview,TX

Today we went to the park again today, it rained the whole time so we prayerwalked and did our SC. It was our last day there. Even through the prayers I learned a lot about a lot of things. 2 days and I'll be home, miss ya'll!

REM-Teague, TX

Last day at the park today:(...mainly prayer walking, the guys talked to a few people. Lots of rain today...not many people in the park. We finished strong and I'm really going to miss Koln!

HG-Brownwood,TX

We finished strong! We started the week praying and we ended it in the same way, due to the rain. God has definately done some amazing works this week, and I can fully grasp the power of prayer. I want to bring this home with me and be a GlobaLocal harvester for Christ! Our spirits continue to be upbeat as we dig into what God has in store for us the last day!

WA-Brock, TX

Today was our last day in the park and it rained the whole time. But it was a blessing because we got the chance to PR walk the whole time. It really showed how God is in control and will change our plans.

BW-League CIty, TX

Today was difficult b/c of the rain but God brought many people for us to talk to. I had serveral conversations with people and talked about God and relationships. The German people are a wonderful people that are open to conversations about God.

SG-Plainview,TX

I was an awesome day. God really showed me His control and understanding. It was rainy and cloudy all day. Us guys still had some good conversations with 5 men. All but onw was involved with the media somehow (which is interesting) and we got to prayer walk most of the time. Even with the rain, God brought people out for us. Take care.

JMS-Bedford, TX

We spent today praying over the park and the people that we met this week, the trek group, Germany, the coming school year, everything. We've all learned to be obedient adn how to obey the Spirit promptly. This week has been incredible and the rain didn't stop us form enjoying our time with God outside.

JMS Bedford, TX

L & I talked to a lady for a long time today. We had an intense spiritual convo with her and hopefully can talk with her again. We also had LTG today with one of our JSIs with was incredible. Right now we are eating eis and L finally got a free scoop...the student surpasses the master.

AM Winnie, TX

MD College Station, TX

Basically I prayer walked today. I met a couple people but only one meaningrul conversation. However, I dont want anyone to think this day was a failure. In fact, it was a great success. For the first time in my life I feel like I am within the will fo God, and let me tell you, that's a satisfying feeling.

SG Plainview, TX

Interesting day today. I had a feeling that all I was suppose to do was pray. I wasnt sure at first, but after meeting several people who didnt speak english, I spent the rest of my time praying. I was confused about it but eventualy found peace in it. Last day in the park tomorrow. Praying that it turns out well. Take care.

RM Teague, TX

B & I talked to a lady that didnt speak english. It didnt last very long! Not many people at the park because of ht erain. Mainly just prayer walked. Dont forget-1234!

BM Grandview, TX

WA Brock, TX

Today started off rainy, so there werwent very many people in the aprk. We prayer walked all day and didnt get much of a chance to talk to anybody. Right now we are eating eis and we just got done eating at Subway. We learned about LTGs today and I am excited about what God can do through them.

LAQ Harlingen, TX

Today has been THE best day of my life. We went tot he park in col and wet weather, and in the last 30 mins God called me to talk to this lady who sat by herself. She's not a believer. So please pray for her. The eis man finally gave me an extra free scoop.

BW League City, TX

Today was another great day in the park. I met 4 men and was able to give th gospel to 1 of them. I gave him a New Testament and he said he would read it. Germany has been wonderful and the weather has been great.

HG Brownwood, TX

Tody was a rainy day but great for plowing (praying) and group bonding. We learned about LTG's (life transformation groups) and how accountability is key in stepping up w/ your faith. We didnt have as many conversations today due to the weather but we are still trusting in the Lord because He is not done.

J.M.SS BEDFORD, TEXAS

One of my friends is traveling to Japan today, please pray for his safe travel. I met a lady today who said she could only talk for 5 min, but ended up staying a half hour. We talked about her life, I got a chance to pray for her and she was very excited. Keep her in your prayers as she makes important decisions in her life this month. We also had a picnic in the park with our group and a very snazzy intern named r.!

S.G. PLAINVIEW, TEXAS

Today was an interesting day. It started slow and I had a couple doors close on me, but we had two good conversations with teachers which was an answered prayer to our tl.

M.D. COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS

Today we talked to an amazing man. Every once in a while I believe we all meet someone who has owe of the most interesting lively perspective on the world around us, life in general, and the beauty of the human spirit. I ask you all to pray for this man, and know that I will be praying, too.

Please pray for the girl who did not show today that all is well and that God would direct us in our journey.

We finished the day off with a picnic in the park, relaxing in the God's beautiful nature. Thank you for your continued prayers.

A.L.H WINNIE, TEXAS

JMS BEDFORD, TEXAS

Today we were supposed to meet a peson and just talk, I was actually really nervous and I prayed God I would give me a clear sign that I needed to talk to them. Like 5 min later, a dog dropped its ball at my feet and we started chatting with the owner. It became really easy to approach people afterwords and we were able to talk to a canadian girl for a hour and half. Please pray for our united friendship.

L.A.Q. HARLINGEN, TEXAS

It was an awesoem day. I got to meet two groups of guys by playing ultimate frisbee. Turns out that a few are already Catholic, but a couple of them had met last weeks group and were open and inquisitive to the bible and father. I hope to continue to talk with them and see exactly what they believe.

WA BROCK

We went to the park today and I got to talk to two people nd one of them was ten and jst finished Harry Potter, but she said that she didn't really go to church. It was kind of hard to find people to talk to because we are only allowed to talk to girls and there are mostly biys. I am eating broutwurst now and we are about to eat ice cream.

M/D/ COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS

We talked to a lot of people today. My friends and I played ultimate frisbee with some people we met, and we were able to set the foundation of some friendships. Dispite wat everybady told me, I have met nothing but nice, intersting, and open people in m time here.

B.M. GRANDVIEW, TEXAS

H.G. BROWNWOOD, TEXAS

So today at the park was our first chance to see God work relationally. We saw that if we waited on his time, he would put people in our paths to talk with. I met 2 people that I expect to be back this week and seemed interested in continually talkingwith me. God is so unique with all the diversity in the world. I'm truly amazed and excited about tomorrw!

HG Brownwood, TX

WA Brock,TX

today we got to see our park for the first time and it was really pretty. there were a lot of trees, dogs, and bikes. we didnt get to talk to anybody because we were spiritually "plowing" the site. all that really means is that we walked around praying. i got my luggage back last night!

NDT Rockwall

The team is doing great tomorrow they will engage in converstaion.s pr that father will open up doors. pr boldness and ears to hear the spirit.

MD COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS

It felt like we walked the entirety of Cologne(which is a staggeringly beautiful city, by the way) with only half a tank of gas. I got to see a ton of people today, just living their lives. I suppose that once my eyes pop back into my head, I'll be able to do what I cam here to do.

SG PLAINVIEW, TEXAS

Back for the second time! We got here safe and went out to get aquainted with Koeln. Had a good day even to go prayer walk in our park tomorrow.

REM TEAGUE

Hey guys! Today was amazing! Basically we just explored Koeln . We met a couple people, rode a bus, rodea tram, got rained on, ate ice which is ice cream. I went to the dome. We would ask for yall to pray for us to get rest and the people we will be meeting this week thanks!

BM GRANDVIEW

JS BEDFORD, TEXAS

Today we spent time getting to know the city and people. Thus far I am falling in line with the culture. Most of usbonded on the flight, so our group is getting along really well! Please pray for continued unity and for us to respond promptly to what God wants us to do. It wasn't until we were flyimg over the celtic Sea(not quite as impressive as the adriatic, but still exciting) I realized fully how amazing it is that God would call a group of teens to be involved in something like this.

LAQ HARLINGEN, TEXAS

After the nine hour flight and less than three hours of sleep on the plane. Today I was physically exhausted. Through walking around Koeln today has changed my look on tired. I can see the lostness in their faces and the exhaustion from carrying the load on their own. I would ask for you to pray that everything be renewed in theor lives and that tonight we get a good rest.

BW LEAGUE CITY, TEXAS

I arrived around 9am in Germany but almost missed my flight because i was talking with another person going to Germany. We have been exploring the city and have tried new things. We are all very tired and are looking forward to a good night sleep.

WLA BROCK

Today we went exploring in Cologne so that we could get to know the town and it was a lot of fun even though I was incredibly tired. So far I have really learned a lot on this trip, especially at Base Camp.

HG BROWNWOOD, TEXAS

Today God revealed the beauty of his forieng nation to all of us. We ventured around the city attempting to conquer the jet lag, and discovering the wonders of Germanny! We saw many beautiful works such as towers and churches of ancient value. Our group is working torwards the common goal of becoming round or blending (n w) the culture so as to reach others. Although the food and customs differ, God has an appartant purpose for us here and has given us the glorious opportunity to be involved in his mighty plan. I appereciate all the prayer and support that made this trip possible and i look forward to what the week will bring!

ALH WINNIE, TEXAS

Hey ya'll. The last 24 hours have been exhausting but rewarding. We arrived safely this morning. We barely had any turblence. I got to see so much and i loved every minute. I even got to go inside the massive cathedral. It makes St. Paul seem so small. I love you all!
