The Beginning of a Blog

I've decided that blogging would be a great way to share our journey here in New Zealand to keep everyone posted on the goings-on here.....so here goes. It's been pretty full-on since we've been here. We're getting settled into our new house (as much as we can without our container here) and are slowly getting into a routine, trying to figure out what "normal" life will look like. (note that the trees in the front yard are orange trees - pretty fun!)

The internship started this week, so that's pretty full-on, too....we have 15 young adults from NZ, the US, Aussie, and Canada who have come to pray with us. We've started by having them share their stories and a bit of how they got here, and it's been so encouraging for our hearts. At least half of them seriously considered going to Kansas City for a season, but felt the Lord wouldn't allow them; one came and did two tracks of fire in the night in KC, and most of the others had at least heard of Mike and listened to some of his teaching. It's stunning to us how the Lord has been speaking to so many different ones, telling them to come to New Zealand to pray, and we all end up in the same room together, all with a desire to sit in a prayer room and to encounter Jesus. It's so encouraging to us - the Lord is really building His house, and we get to come along for the ride. Sweet as. (as they say here in NZ.....)
