Hello all, welcome to installment #2.
I am writing from Seoul South Korea, in a few hours we begin the 2 days of travel to our next destination Durban, South Africa! This past week has been phenomenal. Our time at the high school leading the English camp was a 5 day whirlwind of activity. Our first night after more than 24 hours of travel we arrived at midnight their time to the dorm rooms where a couple hundred students were waiting up for us in anticipation. Needless to say we didn't get a lot of sleep that night, next morning we were up at 6 am bright and early to start the week.
We did four days of camp with a full schedule from 6 am to 12 am everyday. Plus a day and half homestay with the students where we each got to go home with a student for a short stay. The relationships we were able to build in 5 days were incredible, it changed all our lives and I don't think the school will ever be the same.
We really felt God wanted to use us to encourage the school in a big way and he showed up. We each had a homeroom class we got to lead in devotions and meet with plus all the rest of the 200 plus students filtered through each of our classes.
The week was capped off by us getting to share the gospel through our dramas and testimonies to the entire student body. At least 20 students came to Christ for the first time that we know about plus the countless others who thanked us for changing the way they viewed God and that you can have a loving relationship with Him. In one class period alone Carmen led 3 of her students to the Lord. The week was full of testimonies like that.
From there we headed to one of the YWAM bases in Seoul to receive teaching on Missions. It was a great couple days, very refreshing after such a grueling schedule. This team has done an incredible job! They really have rose to the ocasion and allowed God to be a part of everything we have done. So until next time!

And that is all folks! Thanks for loving and for praying and for keeping our team lifted up!
