Lecture This Week

This week starts the unit where we are learning to see ourselves through God's eyes. So many struggle with bad self image and insecurity, so it's going to drastically change how we all see ourselves. Today we worked on poor self image, and many were really touched by the message. It was amazing! On Mondays we also have worship before lecture, and that is always incredible. I feel like I can really let loose and praise the lord with all my strength.

I do have a prayer request: One of our guys broke and dislocated his wrist because of a nasty fall while climbing some rocks. I ask everyone to please pray for his healing both physically and mentally (it was a really messed up incident). I also ask prayer upon us guys who witnessed the incident as it was traumatizing to watch someone we care about in so much pain. We are all struggling with guilt. His name is Mike and he is from Austria. He is a really great guy! There has been a lot of good that God has brought about through this negative situation. We all came together to pray for Mike multiple times, which was amazing. Also, I think everyone really realized how much Mike means to us, and so many people are trying to help him out with everything. He is overwhelmed with love from the whole group! Praise the Lord, he could have died.
