The LAST week of Lecture Phase!!

Luke explains all the last minute details about gearing up for outreach!

Our last staff meeting!! We got everyone chocolates and snacks. Luke and I were thinking about what we could give our staff as a last gift before we commission and send them over seas. And we thought what better gift than to hear from God what He would want to say to them. So Luke and I spent three days praying for each of our staff members and getting words for them and writing them down so at our staff meeting we spent the time prophesying over each of them! It was so fun to do and they were encouraged!

We had a staff recruiting night for students who are considering coming back on staff. We had snacks and coffee for them and they all DEVOURED it like a pack of wild animals.. haha.. it's so typical - the starving YWAMer... Pray God brings back on staff the ones he wants! We need good quality staff especially more guy staff so keep that in your prayers.

This is our Philippines/Fiji team heading to the airport! We had such spiritual warfare trying to get them there but we made it. Two girls alarms didn't go off, it started pouring rain, the van overheated and broke down right on the freeway at 4:30am in the morning!, then one of our staff lost his wallet with the team money in it, but we found it a few minutes later, etc etc etc.. Before Luke and I even started this DTS we felt that this team was the one going to have the most spiritual warfare and it's so true.. BUT THAT'S SUCH A GREAT SIGN that we are doing something for the kingdom. Just pray that the team doesn't fall for satan's schemes!

Praying together as the last two teams head out for outreach!

THIS IS THE PHILIPPINES/FIJI TEAM RUNNING TO THE AIRPORT AS WE WERE HOURS LATE!!

Luke and I had to privilege to baptize some of our DTS students who have never had the opportunity to do it. It was really cool for me (Bethany) cuz I was baptized on my DTS.

We did evangelism in Byron Bay for a week and almost every night we made pancakes and chai and gave it out to all the backpackers. We had free bibles and just shared about the love of God. Luke and I talked to a girl who got saved that night! It was amazing. She had said that lately she had been running into Christians and one of them gave her a bible and she read it that morning before she met us! Go God!

Our beautiful Staff Solveig from Norway had a birthday so we surprised her with a cake and a huge card that her mom had put together. So fun! Our staff really do give up so much to staff DTS so anything we can do to make them feel more at home we try to do.
