Happy Easter my friends!
I hope all of you had a great week!
My week was very good. Let me tell you about it.
The weather is super nice. It has even become really hot and high humidity. In summer it is supposed to be here unbearable. But as far as we enjoy the weather completely.
Monday was Staff-meeting, study and blogging time, and our weekly meetings with one of our leaders. I recommend passing another movie "Human Trafficking" very good movie about human trafficking and prostitution. Super film, and unfortunately, the reality of this world.
Tuesday we were with the women in the "HIV-residence". We had had a brilliant Bible class and talked about the body of Christ and the church and then had an interesting discussion. The boys have again painted a few rooms ready and it was beautiful, some of them shocking to hear about the lives of women. And
evening were Jilly and I baby-sit again with 7 children love.
was something special this week. Josh and Debs have last week Tuesday to get 19 months old twins. Foster children for about 2 weeks, their mother a Training makes. The girls were not in good condition, both physically and mentally. But in this one week, the girls at Walker's in which so much time and they have been with us all and we took good care of them you can already see such a great alteration in the girls. The two are really wild and explore everything all the time. Very sweet girl and the two now much happier. Although they are sugar-sweet, they have kept us all pretty Trabb and if not just a minute look, you've found something that they can be put in the mouth. The
2 Wednesday will go to a family from the community who have no children and thus have more time for the kids. There they are for longer Time to stay. picked
Since the Debs girls from the hospital has at 3 I helped her the next morning. Our entire team is helping with the girls.
Jeff Wells, the pastor of Woods Edge, was this week our "Celebrity" (we call it the only way ... is not really a celebrity) He has told us about his service and his life, what was really inspiring and exciting. Here are some sentences which I am stuck:
-God uses pain and suffering through which we go through.
-Learn something new every day. Hoer learn never to things.
read many books:) I have developed a new interest in books, as Pastor Jeff tells us a lot about some great books added.
night we were in church, where we were six interns presented again officially and prayed for us.
Oh yes, Friday we went to "The Bridges" yay. One of the boys this week got his second to last verse, and will soon get his skateboard. We have tinkered and the twins had fun. Unfortunately I have my toe dolle angehaun and I only thought it was broken ... but I believe it is only sprained pretty doll. Is also much better. In any case, Bridges was full well this week.
And in the evening at Street Reach Timroy and I have started a group. We were so 9 total. With water bottles and snacks, we have kept the lookout for people. It was pretty quiet on Good Friday and we have prayed really, for the people hang out all the crazy in all the clubs, or prostitutes, drug dealers, alcoholics or homeless. Towards the end we met a young group that was standing in front of a big club. They were totally open and almost everyone had had a prayer request. As we prayed for them, has a girl (20) also prayed, and she was definitely a believer. Later we learned that it is straight out of rehab and drug addict and was now trying somehow in the night life and party and to find satisfaction. It was an incredible encounter. And I know God has a plan for them!
with VERY little sleep this weekend, went further last week with a use in Five Oaks (somewhat poorer neighborhood in the vicinity of the community). There, a team of Woods Edge, and we spent about 600 different meals and we have had in the park a little Easter. Face - painting, crafts, games, prizes, egg hunt, etc. There were really a lot of kids there. Then there was also this Saturday Timroys birthday. And in the evening we have celebrated together. Was a very funny evening.
And again with little sleep Sunday morning, we have helped to welcome the guests in the community. About East see were determined up to 4000 people in Woods Edge. It was an absolute genius Easter worship. Andrew has given his testimony and rapping. I had goose bumps. Total moving. The afternoon is spent in the park and Easter and Josiah's birthday celebration. (Happy Birthday)
That was a very special weekend! Good Friday: A day on which we remember that Jesus died for you and for me. Because he loves us so much, he has given her own support, so we were able to eternal life. When the time is not the hammer! And that death has defeated him or something ... No, he is risen! And God has not left him. He has conquered death. He's alive. It was nice to celebrate it yesterday!
I hope this could you celebrate ....
Now I'm still tired from the weekend.
This week I came in the Bible is not really far. Still in 2 Chronicles, but just about ready be.
Ready for a new and exciting week here in Houston.
I'm doing very well here. It was a wicked week. My ninth Week. hard to believe. I do not want it to end!
But I miss you. Soon I'm back home.
Much love and many blessings!

Happy Easter my dear Friends!
I hope you all had a wonderful week.
my week here in Houston was great. Let me tell you about it ...
The weather here is fabulous. It's so hot and humid. In summer its supposed to be unbearable.
uptil But now, we're really enjoying it.
Monday we had Staff-meeting , study-time, time to blog and One-on-One-meetings with our leaders. And by the way, here's a movie recommendation: "Human Trafficking". An amazing movie about human trafficking and how people are being sold into prostitution all over the world. Pretty good and real movie.
On tuesday we had the HIV-ministry again. We had an amazing bible-study about the church and the body of christ. Afterward we had a good group discussion! The guys finished to paint the rooms. It was good and also shocking sometimes to hear about the lives of these women.
In the evening, Jilly and I went Babysitting again. We had 7 kids this time.
This last week tuesday Josh and Debs got 19 months old twins for Foster-care. They are staying about 8 days. The girls were not nessecarily in good conditions, both physical and emotional. But in the last week we've seen an amazing change in the girls. They are really happy and so sweet, but also wild and want to discover everything, which kept us all busy. Wednesday the kids will go to a family from church and stay there a little longer. Debs had to pick them up at the hospital at 3 in the night, so we all helped her with the Babies.
Jeff Wells, pastor of Woodsedge was our "Celebrity" this week. He told us about his ministry and his life, which was really inspiring. Here are some statements, that stuck out to me:
- God uses pain and suffering in your life.
-Be a learner every day, learn something every day.
- read more books :) i got inspired to read way more books, because Jeff told us about some books he recommends to us.
In the evening we went to Worhsip and prayer service at Woodsedge and the church prayed for our group, which was great!
And Friday we were at "The Bridges" again. Yay! One of the little boys is almost finished with his bible verses and soon he will get his own Skateboard! He's really diligent and doing a great job in memorizing the verses. Tihs last week I bumped my toe and I thought it was broken, but I think its just really badly sprained. Its way better now though. But Bridges was real fun last week.
In the evening we had Street Reach and Timroy and I lead a group of maybe 9 people. We had Snacks and waterbottles, as every week, and looked out for people we can talk to and pray for. It was pretty quiet on this "Good friday". We prayed for all the people, that hang around in the those crazy clubs, are prostitutes or drug dealers down there, alcoholics or homeless. And God led us to a young group of people, who were standing in front of a huge club. They were actually pretty open and very friendly. It was so cool, that almost every single one of them had a prayer request, so we could pray for them. As we prayed infront of this club, a girl (20 years old) prayed as well and we found out that she's a believer!! So awesome. It was amazing to see that she actually prayed over us - so incredible. She just got out of Rehab, cause she was a drug addict and now she's trying to find her way in the clubs. It was her first night out there again and she meets us. how cool is that?! Good encounter! And I'm sure God has a plan for her life, we need to be praying that she'll grab Gods hand to draw her closer to his heart again.
With very little sleep we had our Easter-outreach at Five oaks trailer park. a team from Woodsedge gave out around 600 meals and we also had a little program for kids at the park. We had Face-painting, Crafts, games, prizes, and a big Egg hunt. There were loads of kids with their parents as well.
And it was Timroy's Birthday (Happy Birthday) this saturday, so we went out and celebrated, which was so much fun.
And again with little sleep we helped greeting the people at Woodsedge for the Easter service. It was an amazing Easter service where Andrew shared his testimony and rapped!! Woodsedge probably had around 4000 visitors on Easter weekend. We spent out Afternoon at a nice Park, celebrating Easter and also Josiah's Birthday (Happy Birthday)
I think this was a very special weekend. Good friday: A day, where we remember, that Jesus died for YOU and for ME. And he died because He loves you so much. This is why He gave himself, that WE all can have eternal life. Isn't that absolutely phenomenal!?! And death couldn't hold Him down, He conquered the grave and rose again. He has the victory over death, God didn't abandon Him. Jesus is alive and real. I thought it was amazing to celebrate that!!
And I really hope YOU also had the chance to celebrate that!!!
Now I'm still kinda tired from the weekend.
This last week I didnt get too far in the bible. I'm about to finish 2.Chronicles.
I'm ready fro a new week here in Houston.
I'm doing very well here and it was a fabulous 9th week. Crazy, already 9 weeks. I don't want it to end!
I miss you guys though. I'll be home soon.
Lots of Love and Blessings.
Lisa
