DTS update :)

Discipleship Training School is so amazing! I don't even know where to start...

We just finished week 7 of 12, we leaned about The Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 13) and how simple the Gospel is to share with others!  When asked, Jesus said,

"And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ ⁸ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. ⁹

 ^{(Matthew 10:8-9)}

We are told to "go" preach the Kingdom of Heaven, heal the sick, cleans the lepers and raise the dead.   But in todays culture, we try to over spiritualize the Kingdom of God, which is so simple and it is this- doing the will of God.   In Matthew 6:10 Jesus teaches us how to pray, saying, 

“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.

¹⁰ 

Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven..."   

Our hearts cry is that God's Kingdom would come and His will would be done, here on earth, as it is in Heaven.  And in heaven, there is no sickness, no death, no tears- that is why we must pray for healing!  So what are we waiting for?

In exactly one month, I will be on a plane, headed to India!  I really can't believe how fast time flies when you are doing the will of God for your life!   I am so excited to go and help out at the Mother Theresa home and serve the people in Calcutta, India!

Here is our tentative schedule for India:

Dec 18- Leave Kona

Dec 21 - Arrive in New Delhi (3 days of travel!)

Jan 2- Travel to Calcutta (we will be there for 6 weeks)

Then we have a few other possible stops

Beg. March- Travel back to Kona

I so love the team that I am going with, we all get along really good and I know God hand picked our team!

Please be praying for us!

• Health!  Most of the team has been struggling with health- one of the girls has a bad bug and others of us have had allergies/cold/eye problems.  We want complete health for this journey!
• Increase Unity.
• More team bonding.
• Decrement for our amazing leaders, that they would know exactly where we should go/what to do while in India. 
• Protection from the enemy- that the devil would not interfere with any of our plans or continue to attack our health.
• Finances!  There are a few of us that still need the rest of our outreach fees. (Me included) I need $1840
• That God would begin to open the hearts of the people that we will be ministering to in India.
• That we would be able to share about the Kingdom of Heaven!

During one of our fun DTS hang out time!
