It is amaaazziiiingg to see how much the students and staff are encouraged to pray here... and when they pray, they don't just do it "korean style" (that's where everyone decides to pray corporately together with EVERYONE just saying things out loud at the same time), but they also WAIT on the Lord and listen to what He has to say on EVERYTHING we pray for.... when I say prayer, I don't mean just praying out over food or over our family and stuff... but over the teams that are currently on outreach as well as events that are currently still being planned...

We went to our other campus the other weekend for a "camping & hiking" weekend and on the Friday night, we took the time to intercede for our upcoming outreach to California. This whiteboard represents all the things that the staff/students got from God during that time. Visions and verses for us to pray for and with :)
I find it extremely encouraging especially when a few of the people got the same vision from God. It acts as a confirmation for our group that God wants us to take part in this movement. :)
Last week, we also had worship on a Wednesday morning and they asked us to pray and intercede for the teams YWAM Denver have out on outreach at the moment. We broke up into groups of 4/5 people and got given a country, along with the picture of the team and the list of what ministry they were going to do there. We were asked to wait on God and see what God has put into our hearts to intercede for. And after that, we were given little cardboard cards with a name on it. We were then to wait on God and ask what we should be praying for these people....
I was extremely humbled by the fact that God was just giving us, as a group, the opportunity to wait on Him, rely on Him and let Him be the one to guide us as to what to pray for these people and countries.... I must admit that I questioned myself a lot when it comes to hearing His voice especially for others. But in the words of one of the teachers we've had (obviously it's not a direct quote...), too many good thoughts/encouraging thoughts over one topic/person cannot possibly come from us. We are so naturally negative that it is not normal for us to be thinking so positively over a topic/person, so it must come from the Holy Spirit :)
Obviously we don't know what is going out to each of the people out there on outreach but I believe that each one of those cards will bless them and encourage them tremendously. :)
