Hello friends and family! So sorry I'm just now posting, but our internet has been down for the last ten or so days. I'll make it extra long.
I think it's finally sunk in that this place is our home for a month and a half, and we've got the pace of life down pretty well. I love this city, and the rapport that the city and I have is "so nice*". The city is so adventurous and there's always something interesting happening and something fun to do. What my day usually looks like is waking up around 6:30 or 7, soaking** and spending time with Jesus, enjoying a wonderful breakfast by our good friend and landlord S, going to the gym and workout and share Jesus, hit up the city for a couple hours(maybe go to my favorite coffee shop soak more and share), lunch, intern team time in the afternoon, go out and bless the city in the late aternoon, dinner, more heaven on earth after dinner, sleep.
This is a basic outline of what we do. We sow and soak, sow and soak. We also get the blessing of being able to share and hangout with the short term teams (SST) from America, and helping them with the city as much as possible. Our priority in the School of Breakthrough is to get a breathrough to give a breakthrough. In other words everything that God is doing in each of our lives we pour and minister out in the city. So much fun!
We are seeing some incredible things in this city! People being healed, numerous salvations daily, peoples lives being changes, incredible words of knowledge that are right on! God is pouring Himself over this region in a powerful, powerful way!
One of my favorite stories thus far was when one of our SST members was sharing Jesus with a young man who was an atheist, they had a discussion about the Gospel and the man wasn't showing much interest. The team member got a word of knowledge about a cruise line. He then asked the man if he has ever wanted to own a cruise line, just a shot in the dark. The man then claimed that it was his dream to be a cruise line owner! After that the team member got to share about God's desire to bless him and have a relationship with him. And right there the young man accepted Jesus! Thank you Jesus!
This is just one of many ridiculous, awesome salvation stories that we've seen and got to be a part of.
Bill Johnson said that "the pieces of our life build up to one moment, 'Well done good and faithful servant' and at that moment nothing else will matter." That statement has been something I've been chewing on for the last couple of days. What a blessing and honor it is to be ministering in South India, but even when I focus on what I'm doing and try to give to it fully, I know that there is so much more that God has for me.
The past couple of days in my times with Jesus, He has told me that I am about to experience a season of life I've never experienced before. It was exciting and odd at the same time seeing as that I am halfway across the world living a life that I've never lived before. But that irony is the character of God. When you feel like you know Him and when you feel like your fully experiening Him, he turns around and says "But I have soo much more for you. You're only scratching the surface of the gifts, blessings, and intimacy we will share together."
I love each of you tremendously and I hope this has blessed you today!

* "So nice" is a term we hear and say a lot here.
** Soaking is when you practice experiencing the presence of God. No agenda. Just a place of peace and rest in His presence.
p.s. It's monsoon season here for those that love to get caught in the rain! Hosea 6:3
