You may not know this, but today, the 15th of March, marks the 6 month anniversary of me joining the LOGOS 2 with the rest of PST CUXHAVEN! It's kinda big deal and on Tuesday we will be having a fancy evening of fellowship, worship and reflection. I'm looking forward to it.
I thought I would look back over those past months and share some of what I've done:
I finished two weeks of training in De Bron, Netherlands,
I finished two weeks of training in Cuxhaven, Germany.
I joined the LOGOS 2 on Sept. 15th
I sailied through the Kiel Cannel.
I worked as Laundry Queen onboard the L2
I supervised a two week day camp for the 22 kids in our community.
I moved on board the LOGOS HOPE in December.
I taught KS2 on board the LH from December to March.
I joined the Line-Up dept in March 08
I worked as Laundry Queen temeraroly, as I wait for my Line-Up assignment.
I've passed out tracts
Been on 7 Chruch teams
Given my mission testomony in churches
Been involved with Children's Minisries on shore
Done Dramas
Visited Local schools
Shared my mission testomony in public schools
Given tours
Developed lasting friendships with both locals and fellow crew members
Also, while the ship has been in Kiel, God has become real in the hearts of many. Not only is God challanging the people of Kiel and surronding cities to get to know him on a personnal level, but he is challnaging them to get invovled. To be involved in thier churches, thier communities and the Logos Hope Project.
We hope to get the required PSSC, a permission that allows to sail, by the end of Summer. Until then, we will continue to work on the ship. We plan to be in Kiel until the start of May, then take two weeks to dry dock, so crews can put in another generator. After dry dock, we will eventually make our way to Denmark, and then the UK for the rest of the year.
Now that I am in the Line Up Department, I will be leaving the LOGOS HOPE soon to prepare a city for her visit. I don't know what city, or with who, or even when I'll be leaving. But I'm confendent that God knows, and he only has the best in store for me.
So much has been done in 6 months, I look forward to the next 18! Time flies, I miss you all.
Thank you for your prayers. It's a encouragemnt to know that I have people behind me who care about me and what God is doing in the lives of people around the world.
Thank you for your monatary support. With it God's word can reach so many lost and hurting people. God provides so much, and it's through your partnership that He works.
Thank you for the packages and letters I've recieved. Anytime someone gets post or parcels it's like christmas with the atticipation of what will be in the box.
I hope you have a wonderful March and EASTER!
I want to leave you with something I heard the other week. We saw a wonderful slideshow of a SM Lockridge speech called, "That's My King". I loved it. I memorized it. I want to share it with you. I hope you like it as well:
"That's My King"
The Bible says,
My King is the King of the Jews
He’s the King of ISREAL
He’s the King of RIGHTEOUSNESS
He’s the King of the AGES
He’s the King of HEAVEN
He’s the King of GLORY
He’s the King of KINGS
and He’s the Lord of LORDS!
That’s my KING!
I wonder DO YOU KNOW HIM?
My King is a Sovereign KING
No means of measure can define His limitless LOVE
He’s Enduringly STRONG
He’s Entirely SINCERE
He’s Eternally STEADFAST
He’s Immortally GRACEFUL
He’s Imperially POWERFUL
He’s Impartially MERCIFUL
DO YOU KNOW HIM?
He’s the greatest Phenomenon that has ever crossed the horizon of this world.
He’s God’s son
He’s a sinner’s savior
He’s the centerpiece of civilization
He’s Unparalleled
He’s Unprecedented
He’s the loftiest idea in literature
He’s the highest personality in philosophy
He’s the fundamental doctrine of true theology
He’s the only one qualified to be an all-sufficient savior.
I wonder IF YOU KNOW HIM today?
He supplies strength to the weak
He’s available for the tempted and the tired
He sympathized and He saves
He strengthens and sustains
He guards and He guides
He heals the sick
He cleansed the lepers
He forgives sinners
He discharges debtors
He delivers the captive
He defends the feeble
He blesses the young
He serves the unfortunate
He regards the aged
He rewards the diligent
And He beautifies the meager
I wonder IF YOU KNOW HIM?
He is the Key of KNOWLEDGE
He’s the Wellspring of WISDOM
He’s the Doorway of DELIVERANCE
He’s the Pathway of PEACE
He’s the Roadway of RIGHTEOUSNESS
He’s the Highway of HOLINESS
He’s the Gateway of GLORY
DO YOU KNOW HIM?
Well,
His life is matchless
His goodness is limitless
His mercy is everlasting
His love never changes
His word is enough
His grace is sufficent
His reign in righteous
And His yoke is easy
And His Burden is light
I wish I could describe Him to ya
Yes, He’s INDESCRIBABLE
He’s INCOMPREHENSIBLE
He’s INVICIBLE
He’s IRRESISTABLE
You can’t get him out of your mind
You can’t get him off of you hand
You can’t out live HIM
And you can’t live without HIM.
Well,
The Pharisees couldn’t stand HIM
But, they found out they couldn’t stop HIM
Pilate couldn’t find any fault in HIM
Herod couldn’t kill HIM
Death couldn’t handle HIM
And the grave couldn’t hold HIM
YES!
THAT’S MY KING!
THAT’S MY KING!
AMEN
