more from scotland

this has been an interesting and challenging week for all involved in this tour in scotland.
We arrived at our last stop on tour…penicuik, last weekend only to discover that all the school assemblies for the area had been cancelled and the venue for the shows the weekend was pulled. This was due to some things that had happened previously, however all the churches were still on board and determined to see God work in their community. It was so encouraging to see people unwilling to give up when it seems that the things they have been planning for over a year where falling apart in front of them.
We have all spent so much time praying and really seen the fruit of that.
This week we have seen a venue provided….a disused warehouse….a permit to use it….carpet for the floor, 600 chairs, a stage and a lighting rig. flyers with the new venue were distributed across town on thursday. The warehouse can hold twice the number of people than the previous venue and we are praying God fills those seats with people who need to hear the truth.
We have all been so encouraged to see God work this week, as it is only by Him that this could have all come together so quickly.
He works all things for good, for the Glory of His name!

speaking the TRUTH

I found of this tour that it has been great to dance but i think more than that i have loved sharing what God has done in my life.
During the shows where we get to share the gospel i get the opportunity to speak about identity and I have found that this is something i am really passionate about! 
I get to tell young people that they are created by a God who loves them and has a purpose for their lives. I think this is an important message for me to share as it is my journey and my story....the struggle of accepting the truth that God created ME with a plan and purpose and that my value comes from HIM.



there is so much freedom in knowing this truth and it something i want to see young men and women walking in from a young age. 
I have found that God has really given me a Heart for the people of Scotland at this time and I get so excited seeing people respond to what Jesus has done for them.

I thank God for this wonderful privileged to share the freedom he has given me in my life and invite others into this freedom!

God is moving in Scotland

we are now into our second week of outreach and first week of tour.
we started off on sunday with a time of worship and prayer and preparation with all the teams and from there we have hit the ground running!!

 mostly our team has been helping out GX international set up all the ramps etc for the school assemblies and ushering and doing some administration at the shows.
we also have had the opportunity to talk with people who have responded to the gospel when it is presented.

Yesterday was our first show as GX, so the first time dancing for me in a while. I also had the opportunity to share some of my story and what God has done in my life. I really felt the burden God had for the people in Alva, in Scotland and felt the responsibility of sharing the Truth for those who really need to hear it.
 It is always such a privilege to share the goodness, faithfulness, grace and love of God my father in my life. God uses our stories to speak to people and he moves through our words to draw people to himself.

 It was a powerful evening and the presence of God was definitely in the building. Many many young people came forward to respond to the gospel, wanting to give their lives to God, and they had the opportunity to meet with local people who can follow up with them for the next few weeks.


It is so encouraging to see young people in scotland hungry for God and to see seeds planted in their lives. Now we just have to continue to pray that what God has begun in their lives will continue.

The response was amazing! and its only the first show! So i am expecting bigger and better things the rest of our time in Scotland.

there is a time to DANCE....



...and it feels GREAT!

sometimes you don't realise how much you have missed something until you start doing it again, and i have realised i have missed dancing a lot!

It feels great to be back with friends in GX, dancing in Scotland to share the Gospel.

I love that God is a God of creativity and He puts tat creativity within us, to bring Glory to Him. 
I really think He is going to use the dancing on this tour to challenge so many in the ways they are living their lives and to draw them close to Himself and it is awesome to be a part of that!

It is a real Joy and priviledge to dance for MY KING!

Every testimony is an invivtation

This is a phrase i have heard a lot in the last few months... and i Love it! 

Dear Ceri, you are invited to.......... 
Seek God for the storeis you hear from others to be a reality in YOUR life.

i have to ask do i accept this invivtation?
EVERY TESTIMONY....every story of God's 
goodness,
faithfulness, 
provision, 
healing,
restoration, 
breakthrough, 
revelation is an opportunity for me to go after the same thing!

 yet i think there are times when i still don't recognize that someone's example of this could also be seen in my life. Yes God works and moves in people's lives  in a lot of different ways, but when i see His power in someone's life there is no reason i can doubt that He can and will do similar in mine.
It might not look exactly the same but every testimony of him working should fill me with so much hope and a hunger to see Him do it in me. Its not selfishness, its not greed to see God, its not wrong, its just a hunger to see more of God moving in my life. I don't want to sell myself short on all the fullness God has made available to me in this life through His sacrifice, its as much about now as it is about the age to come!

so i say every testimony and story is an INVITATION. an invitation
to fight for His promises
to seek His face
to contend for His truth
to pursue Him wholeheartedly.
Its an invitation to go after God above anything else.

Every testimony brings Hope and Faith.
I want to be filled with Hope and Faith everyday and I want my life to give others Hope and Faith every day.

Revisiting a Home

In October I get to return to place I have to come to call home (one of them at least!!)

I remember the day when I was 19 years old and i moved to Stirling, Scotland for me to begin the next chapter of my life, making it on my own for the first time living away from home. For the next 3 and half years THAT became my home!
And now I can return.

I can not put into words how excited i am about this. I feel it is going to be a significant time for me personally and i have an anticipation in my Spirit for God wants to do. My time in Scotland helped shape the person I am now, and while it wasn't always easy for me I can see fruit from my time there.

I look at the person i was when I left Scotland in early 2008 compared to who I am now and it is amazing to see how much God has grown me in that time and all the adventures I have had with Him. It is such an honour to walk on Scottish soil and proclaim the truths that God has made known in my life to people there. I don't think we should ever underestimate the Spiritual importance of the places God takes us.

 There are 6 of us going to support and get involved with the work of impact world tour (IWT) there. It is great to be involved with this so close to home for a change! We are going to be serving at evangelistic events around the west of the country...helping wherever we can and seeing many come to know God personally.
for more information please visit www.iwt.com/scotland.
For the last 3 years i have been involved with IWT as  a dancer with GX international. I think it is no accident that God is calling me back to Scotland at this time to join with a ministry i know, and work with people that have become a family away from home. It is like all my worlds are colliding in one!
 

God has big things for this nation and i am praying for revival and expecting to see God do big things...salvation, healing, breakthrough. I believe this is the beginning of God moving in a mighty way in this land and he has so many plans!

-Please pray for financial provision for all this to happen.
Everything that i do at the minute is voluntary so i rely on God to provide for me through others who believe in what i am doing and want to partner with me. At the minute i need to raise £2000 to cover flights and expenses while in Scotland. Pray God opens doors for that and if you feel He is asking you to get involved in this way please let me know.

Do you know who you are?

Its a question we have been asking this week.

DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE?

learning to hear God's voice and knowing what he thinks about us is so vital to how we view ourselves and that is what we have been learning this week; the heart of the father for us.

 we have just had 2 powerful weeks where God is moving. Students are realising that God wants to speak to them. they had the opportunity to spend an hour asking God :
What do you think of me?
What do you think of me God?
What do you think of me my creator?
What do you think of me Father?

It is such a powerful question to ask your creator and hear what He wants to say back. He always speaks so much truth into my life when i do this and it was such a privileged to hear some of the things he spoke into the lives of the students.

so do you know who you are?
I challenge you to ask your Father.

TESTIMONIES:
Every friday night we go into town to meet people and talk to them about Jesus. Last friday we prayed  and asked God for pictures and words. One student heard the name NICK. she felt like she found him a little later and asked if he was nick. he said YES! she got to tell him God wanted to speak to him and tell him how much God loved him. He said he was blown away because he had been doubting if believed in God for the last few days and wanted to know that he was real. It was a real encouragement to him and spoke into His life and an encouragement to our student as it confirmed to her that she can really hear from God and he does want to speak to her!

Last weekend i also got to celebrate my birthday! the amazingness of everyone here really blew me away, i felt so blessed and loved by all the efforts everyone put in to making it such a special time! it was also so encouraging that people took the time to  give me words and speak life over this year ahead and what God might have for me at this time. It was hard not be at home around family but it was good to be able to celebrate my birthday in such a great way none the less.

ruined for the King

 Its hard to believe that 2 weeks of DTS is over, we are having a great time getting to know each other and it feels like family already! it is such a delight to meet new students and have the privilege and there the journey God has been taking them on and how they ended up in New Zealand.


I am really excited to see what God  is going to do in each of  the student's lives and how He is going to speak into them all and ruin them for Himself and His glory! ...and I get to go along for the ride! 

It's time to make a stand to not settle for life as we know right now ... expect more, move on from mediocre comfortable  Christianity and decide to be completely 100% sold out for our King.

Its time to push in for the fullness of all he has for each and every one of us every day! That is the hunger i am seeing in the students here and it pushes me and inspires me to go after that hunger for Him, to push in for the fullness of all God has for me in this life and in the life to come. 

All I have to say is here i am God, here i am!

I am so excited to see what the next five months are going to hold and we run towards him together as a family.


I say BRING IT ON!!

Wednesday 13 July 2011

what is next?

I have put together a short video explaining what is coming up for me in New Zealand.
i hope you enjoy and if anyone is interested in getting involved please email me
cerihewitt111@googlemail.com or contact me on facebook!






i am really excited about this opportunity for me and what God has for me next!!

leaving on a jet plane....again!

its outreach time!
tomorrow i get on a plane to the middle east with 6 other people for 8 weeks of crazy adventures and moves of God (i declare it!)

it has come up so fast that it doesn't feel real but i know God has been teaching us and preparing us all for what he has for us. As we step out in faithfulness he is going to move through us and change lives by His power. I don't know about anyone else but i say i want to be a part of that!
i am thankful for what he done for me and want other people to know he has done that for them too.
I know we will have some great stories and testimonines when we get back!

Do you trust me?

that is the question i am continually being asked....
DO YOU TRUST ME?
DO YOU REALLY REALLY TRUST ME?

God wants me to trsu him in everything, and sometimes that is just really hard. i mean i can SAY i trust him with everything, but when it comes down to living it out can i really do it? when he says give your money to someone else in need and i'll take care of what you need, do i really believe that?
when he says he has a good plan for my future, do i trust that its better that anything i could come up with? when he says he wants my heart do i let him hold it?

i guess the area i have been growing in this the most is with finances. See everything is his anyways! He has provided so much already through the generousity of people who believe in what im doing and are willing to support me in it and its so awesome to see him provide....but he is still asking me to trust for more. I still need £1000 and i know it should be easier to trust him for that when i have seen so much come in already, but it still pushes. it stretches me to rely on him in this area and that will flow into other areas. its a challenge every day but it will be worth it!

I have to lay everything down before him.....all my desires and dreams, and not pick them up again and try and make them work for me, in my way. i have a really bad habit of doing that. i will lay something at the feet of jesus and say i trust you, do what you will and and hour later im carrying it around again, trying to find solutions and ways to figure it out. and the process goes over and over again.! im getting better but im not there yet.

so God says DO YOU REALLY TRUST ME WITH EVERYTHING?




my answer?.....today, i trust you more than yesterday and not as much as tomorrow.

the art of listening....


every friday night as a DTS we go out onto the streets of the city of Tauranga to pray for people and tell them about Jesus. honestly its sometimes a hard thing to do at the end of a really busy week because we are feeling weary and in need of rest, Sometimes its a real challenge and people just dont want to talk, but every single week i come home feeling so much better and so blessed that i decided to go out!

and this week i think was the best of them all.....and really i dont feel like we did that much.

and so the art of listening....

so we met a couple on the street who were just hanging out and started to talk to them. I got to talk to the guy along with a couple of the guys we were with and he just started sharing his story....he just really wanted people to listen to him. He told us his background and that he would steal and sell drugs to support his wife and baby but that he really didnt like doing that and really wanted another way to live but felt so hopeless and trapped in that. He said he didnt believe in God but we asked if we could pray for him and he agreed, so we did. And God just moved to greatly in his life. You could see the Holy Spirit moving on Him and definitely doing something really significant., and he acknowledged that.
He also shared how he would see evil spirits and they would torment Him in different ways and he was so open to sharing about that and was surprised that we didnt think he was crazy or making things up! so we got to pray and ask God to deliver Him from this, that he wouldn't be living under that anymore.

He told us we changed His life that night and it is so significant and he will never forget it.... but we know we did nothing but listen...God did the rest.
 did he commit his life to God? Is everything suddenly going to be fine?
No, probably not, but that doesn't matter, God touched Him and planted seeds and became real and tangible to Him that night. Just because some random people took the time to stop, and listen to his story and speak hope into his life.

It challenges me to make more time to listen.....how many more people just want someone to hear them? to know they are not alone in how they feel and to know there is a hope?




and what a blessing it is to be able to share that hope!

week 5......already!

So i've been in this thing called dts life for 5 weeks now, can't quite believe how fast the time is going!
i think i have taken in so many things every week and before i have a chance to process anything its right on into the next thing! but its all so so good!

week 5: THE FATHER HEART OF GOD.
God's heart is that of a father who wants the best for his children!

He has spoken to me so much this week and reminded of some many truths and promises that have been given to me in the past and that are grounded in His word. it is good to be reminded of things and to hold fast to them and I am excited to see the path he is taking me on as He continues to reveal it to me. I know he has a good plan and a purpose for me, and sometimes i may not see that because i don't understand the specific steps.
I love this picture that as i continue to reach and hold to his heart he will lift me where i need to go!


this week we also got to ask God WHAT he wanted to say to someone and HOW he wanted to say it. i love getting to share God's heart for a person with them, it is such a joy. we are all so different and unique and need to hear different things that God thinks about us at different stages in our walk.

I am just constantly reminded of how good my Father in heaven is and that he WANTS to be a Fahter to us all...we are never an inconvenience. He delights in us and enjoys us and knows each of us so so well. i think sometimes we forget this, i know i certainly do.

I love my Father in heaven, i don't need to come to Him as a servant but as a Royal daughter.

who is Jesus?

this week we have been looking at the person of Jesus, especially in the light of His return. And that is the truth,
JESUS IS COMING BACK, AND IT'S SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO.

I have been humbled this week and reminded how much i just don't know my Bible and don't know as much about Jesus as i thought! I love to study and i do read my Bible a lot but its just so cool to be reminded that God is so big and so diverse that i will never understand and know everything! and its good because it just really inspires me to want to know more. I love receiving teaching from people who are so knowledgeable and able to back up what they say from the Word of God, so I have a lot of notes to go through and pray through :)

There are so many diverse attributes to Jesus and a lot of them just don't make logical sense to me....bottom line.
We looked at Jesus the perfect judge who will return to restore Justice to the oppressed.
Jesus the Bridegroom and the church is his bride whom he has a jealous love for.
Jesus the servant, He came to serve US that might serve others. i think is the one i struggle with the most. The thought that Jesus, the King and great judge and ruler of the nations came because he DESIRES to serve me. and the greatest way he did this was by dying on the cross, but he also wants to do this is so many small ways also.

There is so much I could say about this week, my eyes have been opened to so much and i just need to process it all. There is so much i want to be able to share, so many things i wish i had understood earlier, But i think it would be the longest blog ever!!

But if anyone ever wants to talk about any of these things, i will, i love to discuss and hear people's point of views!

it has been a really overwhelming week, with so much going on! but so good!

the day the earth shook

its a pretty crazy time to be in new zealand right now!
this country is in mourning with the earthquake that has stuck christchurch. it is definately in everyones throughts and in our discussions and our prayers.
Just wanted to let everyone know that i am safe.....i am living on the north island and the earthquake hit the south island.
Please keep this land in your prayers as people come to terms with the devastation that has happened and try to get their lives back together.

jump in.....

week 2:

this week seems to have gone so fast and yet so much has happened at the same time thats its hard to believe its been fitted into only 7 days!

its been really nice to get stuck into a regular schedule. I’m up around 6 every morning (i know its hard to believe) and we start into the day at 8am and its usually pretty packed right through.

Its been a pretty tough week for me in many ways and yet it is so hard to express how. it seems to be a real time of transition and change inwardly.
I think in a way some of the thought processes i have had for a long time are being challenged and i need to work through the elements of that. it is a good thing to be faced with challenges though sometimes it can be a overwhelming experience and at times uncomfortable. However if things are always comfortable i dont think i would ever be pushed to the next level in anything. it is a good thing to be stretched even if it doesn’t feel like it at the time!

we have had really good teaching every afternoon this week and then we get to spend the mornings in the prayer room. during this time i have the opportunity to talk with God about a lot of the stuff He is revealing, as well as taking time to read the Bible and pray for this nation of New Zealand. It’s a real blessing to have this time and space to process things as so often we are bombarded by a lot of information and have no time to really figure out what it all means.

Its been good to get to know people better this week and grow as a group and be on this journey together.

I guess the other big news is that i am going to be working in the Middle East for 2 months! This is an unexpected turn for me as i had hoped to spend some time in South East Asia but i think it the right place for me to be going and I’m excited to see what will happen there!

Saturday 12 February 2011

introductions....

week one.

this week has gone by so fast and yet it has been so packed it feels like we have been here so much longer! its been so busy i haven’t even had time to take an pictures!!
I moved into my new home last sunday and ts been great to meet so many new people that i am going to be sharing my life with for the next 3 months.

Its been a busy week of introductions.
Introducing ourselves, hearing other people’s stories and backgrounds.
Introducing New Zealand and the cultural background of this land.
Introducing YWAM as a whole and what it stands for.
Introducing the heart that God has for this school and for this time.

I think i quite like introductions.


We had the opportunity to go onto a Marae which is where the Mauri people have their cultural base and can hold strong to their native heritage. it was a wonderful experience to be welcomed unto their land and there is a strong sense that God wants to move in the people here.

We also have had the opportunity to spend tine asking God what he wants for this time and getting into his presence again and being able to draw close to him though times of prayer and worship.

This is going to be an exciting few months in New Zealand, so much has happened already in 1 short week and its all very hard to put into words. I just have such a strong sense that i am in completely the right place at the right time for whatever God wants to do.

flying on a jet plane.......again.....



it has come to that time (again) of packing up a suitcase to as close to 23kg as i possibly can, (you'd think that would get easier with practice but it just doesnt) saying a few goodbyes and getting on a plane to fly over some ocean to a (not so) far off distant land for some reason or other.

this time.....dts. three months in new Zealand.
i think from the moment i left new zealand on the 25th Novemeber i knew i would be back for the dts in feb, but i wasnt sure i would ACTUALLY commit to doing it and it has come up so fast. But yes here i am off again. 

sometimes i think my life is a little like a jigsaw, or at least thats how it has been feeling lately. This is one piece and when you look at it up close on its own in makes no sense, just a bunch of colours...its not really anything, but take a step and look at the bigger picture and you maybe start to see where it fits in.

i think i been gathering a lot of pieces over the last while (i dont even know how long) and now they are starting to make a picture, come together to make sense, starting to look like something bigger.....



Im not entirely sure what that is just yet because i reckon there are still some pieces missing. I dont pretend to have all the answers because i know i dont, and im not imagining life will somehow be perfect... but a picture is forming and all i need to do is keep finding the next pieces and where they fit.


.....so lets go get this next piece and fit it in!

SPACE

i have had a lot of down time recently, and it isnt something i have particularly enjoyed but im starting to realize that in God’s eyes it was totally necessary!  I have had time to slow down, and realized that is something im not very good at.
 i have had a lot of time alone, again something i rarely do. God wanted me to still my soul and rest in him. i have been reading a lot, praying a lot and trying to listen a lot.
yes having all this time without too many pressures has been a great luxury, but a necessary one i think, and something i definitely dont want to take for granted!
there is a reason for everything and sometimes God just wants to give space. when theres space we can hear from him so much more easily and clearly and learn to tune into his voice, so that in the times of business and noise its easier to pick it out! 

Sunday 23 January 2011

no church for YOU tonight.....

so tonight an interesting thing happened to me....i got turned away from church.....why you may ask???


church was full....yep that's right FULL...too many people.
Now i don't know about your experiences with church lately, but certainly hasn't been one of so many people that we need to turn some away!!! rather the opposite in fact!
Now i would point out that this was no ordinary night at church...Jesus Culture were leading the service and they aren't in Australia all the time so i can understand the many people showing up!
BUT....
it did get me thinking....
I am sure there are places all around the world were there are just too many people to fit in the building....but it doesn't happen often near me. But what we started praying for that....really praying for that? That the streets would be lined with people hungry to know God, and be in his presence together.
I mean people queue for fireworks, concerts, sports games, sales for crying out loud!....why not church.?
what would the world look like if our churches were full to capacity. It would just HAVE to overflow to the streets!



im not getting into big discussions about what makes a good church or if numbers really matter blah blah blah....im just thinking what it would look like if that became a normal thing!?.......

25...ish

A good friend posted me an article today that made me feel better about the decisions i make in life.
sometimes we are in such a rush to figure everything out...and sometimes i get so frustrated that i dont have everything figured out.



When you’re 25-ish, you’re old enough to know what kind of music you love, regardless of what your last boyfriend or roommate always used to play. You know how to walk in heels, how to tie a necktie, how to give a good toast at a wedding and how to make something for dinner. You don’t have to think much about skin care, home ownership or your retirement plan. Your life can look a lot of different ways when you’re 25: single, dating, engaged, married. You are working in dream jobs, pay-the-bills jobs and downright horrible jobs. You are young enough to believe that anything is possible, and you are old enough to make that belief a reality.



Don't get stuck
This is the thing: when you start to hit 28 or 30, everything starts to divide, and you can see very clearly two kinds of people: on one side, people who have used their 20s to learn and grow, to find God and themselves and their deep dreams, people who know what works and what doesn’t, who have pushed through to become real live adults. And then there’s the other kind, who are hanging onto college, or high school even, with all their might. They’ve stayed in jobs they hate, because they’re too scared to get another one. They’ve stayed with men or women who are good but not great, because they don’t want to be lonely. They mean to find a church, they mean to develop honest, intimate friendships, they mean to stop drinking like life is one big frat party. But they don’t do those things, so they live in kind of an extended adolescence, no closer to adulthood than they were when they graduated college.

Don’t be like that. Don’t get stuck. Move, travel, take a class, take a risk. Walk away, try something new. There is a season for wildness and a season for settledness, and this is neither. This season is about becoming. Don’t lose yourself at happy hour, but don’t lose yourself on the corporate ladder either. Stop every once in a while and go out to coffee or climb in bed with your journal. Ask yourself some good questions like: “Am I proud of the life I’m living? What have I tried this month? What have I learned about God this year? What parts of my childhood faith am I leaving behind, and what parts am I choosing to keep with me for this leg of the journey? Do the people I’m spending time with give me life, or make me feel small? Is there any brokenness in my life that’s keeping me from moving forward?”

Now is your time. Become, believe, try. Walk closely with people you love, and with other people who believe that God is very good and life is a grand adventure. Don’t spend time with people who make you feel like less than you are. Don’t get stuck in the past, and don’t try to fast-forward yourself into a future you haven’t yet earned. Give today all the love and intensity and courage you can, and keep traveling honestly along life’s path.

finally....i know what's next



So i have made the decision to do a dts! this is what is next!

its nice to finally have some direction and excitement after a frustrating couple of months.

in exactly 3 weeks i start the lecture phase of dts. I will be in taurnaga, New Zealand for 3 months doing the impact and intimacy dts.....this is the combined IWT and Prayer Room school.
I just look back at all the connections that have led to this decision and to me it can only be God. When i left home in august my plan was to your and then make my way to Australia for my brothers wedding, via visiting friends in Milwaukee! and in Australia i planned to work and live for a while...an opportunity not to be missed...right???

But then i went to New Zealand in November.... and EVERYTHING changed!

I spent every morning the prayer room there, which was exactly what i needed...time with God. I think that week, will be a significant week in my life, for the rest of my life, even more so than i will ever realize.

And it was then i found out about the dts. I have been praying about it since then and the more i pray the more convinced I am that this is the next step!

Definitely not the plan I had in mind but a good plan i think!

frustrating times

Sometimes we just don't know why things happen the way they do!
Right now I am frustrated! so frustrated! i have been trying so so hard to find a job and praying the God will open a door somewhere and nothing seems to be happening. It's hard because I fully trust that God is in control but i don't understand why im not working right now! I want to work and to be honest i could really use some pennies....

It can be a pretty disheartening thing to deal with and it isn't something i have ever dealt with before. I have never had much trouble finding a job, in fact it has always been pretty easy for me. But constantly applying for jobs and hearing nothing back does not make for an encouraging time. Don't get me wrong, I in no way find my worth and identity in my ability to work but I am not a lazy person and I ENJOY working!!

It just doesn't make sense to me that I am not able to get a job when there are so many available in Melbourne! I just have to trust that God knows what he is doing and He will meet my needs whether I am working or not.

still.....frustrating...
