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.
