TAC, Davenport, Ok

Well, today was our last day and our contacts from the second day did not show up, but i Just want to put that in God's hands. However, we got to spend time with two 13 year olds and it was really hard to say good bye, but we plan to email

KLS, Blanchard, Ok

Got to spend an awesome time with my team and D & E at the picnic. Tonight is a worship service and i have a feeling it will be awesome.

ZAM, Muldrow

Today was our last day at the park, but still it was great because we found out that D and E were both Christian's. So that was amazing, the picnic went good, we had a lot of people show up. so that was good but this whole week has been awesome- I'll miss everyone I met so much!

SW, Riesel, Tx

Today was definately not the most out going day! It rained AGAIN, but it was cool! I did talk to a couple of women today and it went well! Only one more full day, but tonight is our last worship serveice b/c tomorrow is our free day! Saturday will be a long day b/c we leave our hostel at 7 and fly out at 10:35 in Germany- but 3:30 y'alls time. We had a picnic tonight that involved everyone and all the Germans we have met here. We had subway catered...it was yummy! Me, K, and S all sat on a blanket and just watched everyone. Well we have a choice of sleeping in in the morning but S doesn't want our group too! Well I miss everyone. Don't send emails b/c i won't be getting on anymore- I love y'all - and see you saturday!

RL, Central Marlow

Today the weather was pretty nice. There was a quick shower. I played a little more basketball. Today i didn't get to talk to the guy I talked to yesterday. I am going to leave his information so the people here can follow up with him. Tomorrow I have a free day and will go tour around the city.

BMF

God has shown me some very new things today- patience, blodness and friendship. With these new things I can boldly go home and start LTG groups and praise God's name everyday

SRS, Ft. Gibson, Ok

Well guys, this is my last postcard before we all talk in person. Today was a great day and it just flew by. I kept forgetting it was my b-day today and it was good, but i do miss spending it with you all. Like I said, I can't wait to get home and share my ideas. I won't bore all of you w/ every detail. Tomorrow is our free day, and I am looking forward to it and sleeping in. I love you and will see you soon!
- Me

Happy Early B-Day Mrs. S and thank you all for praying!

KRL, Mustang, Ok

Today was a blast, I have fallen in love with this place and everyone here. I can't wait for next year. The picnic tonight was a blast and tehre was a lot of people not from our group there. It was amazing

SK, Boswell, Ok

The last day... it feels weird that we will be leaving in a few days. We won't be going to Tower park every day, and seeing hte park we saw each day. I admit that I am a little home sick- but it is going to be hard to leave. It's been awesome seeing God move here the past few days. We got to hear about 3 salvations. Praise God. I hope that the seeds we plante3d and the ground we lowed will continue to produce harvest. My eyes have really opened to the lack of spirituality here. I will continue to pray for Germany. That they will see Christ is waiting for them to turn to him. I will also pray that God calls me back next summer, cause that would totally rock. Thank you God for this opportunity. Pray for me as I go home that I can take the things with me that I have learned this week.

G.S. Texarkana, Tx

God has accomplished so much here in Germany. It's invegerating. People at home, I had an MRI, it's worse than my ACL, don't worry- I'm not in pain. The Lord has been Good! God be praised!!

ZAM, Maldrow

Today was great. We talked to a guy playing the guitar- so we talked to him for awhile and the D and A came up to us so after we were done talking to S, we played soccer then the rain came it was just awesome and we met a guy name J that was very interested in Jesus and we gave him a bible, which he said he would read tonight and he's coming back tomorrow, it was an awesome day!

BMF, Balko, Ok

Today at noon we pr walked for a while. I got to meet a turkish guitar player, a catholic man, and the two soccer kids. Learned more about patience.

KRL, Mustang, OK

Today was sorta slow I am really learning patience. We ate subway which was amazing- FInally.. FREE refills!! I crashed at the park for like an hour b/c of some allergy med! It rained and I got excitited. It really made me cool off!

GS, Texarkana, TX

I have had to learn patience and dependency today. God is amazing, and he is doing so much work. All I can do is pray that God will guide me. Pray for O.

SH, Teague

Today we hit the park again. With only two days to go in the park, we were really trying to share our story with those we have met. The two young boys, A and D came back again today. Even though the rain gave us a short delay one of the guys on our team who was able to get A to go home and read John 1-3, and tomorrow they are going to talk about it. We have learned patience in this relationship, b/c we wer ready to share on the first day, but the time has not been right yet. Hopefully we will get to share with both boys tomorrow. I also met a man from Canada and we talked some hockey of course, and then I tried to move the conversation towards God, but he really wasn't ready. So hopefully we can talk some more tomorrow. Overall, the day was great. Please continue to pray for L our JSI, she is sick and for G who has torn his ACL. FInally pray for our last day in the field tomorrow that God's will would be done tomorrow!

KLS, Blancherd, Ok

Not much happened today, at least for me. My treck made some progress with one of the kids the guys play soccer with. But nothing much happened for me today so just keep praying.

TAC- Davenport, Ok

Today some of my contacts didn't show up, but he did provide me more opportunities to sow seeds. I talked to a man named O, who is a doctor here. I asked him to teach us to read John 3:16 in German, so it's my prayer that him reading that verse with us will spark his curiousity and give him an urgency to find out more about Jesus who died for our sins. If anyone reads this I ask that you please pray for T and T, that they will show up tomorrow so we can have a chance to share with them.

SW, Riesel, TX

Hey Guys!! Well it poured here today while we were at the park, so we got real wet! We also had the choice of Subway or Doener for supper and I had Subway! It was AWESOMELY great! First whole meal besides pizza! We have one more day in the park and then a picnic tomorrow night with all the people we have met from Germany! I made 3 new contacts today and I think 2 were definately Christians, but the 3rd was questionable. I miss y'all so much and love you all a ton. See y'all in 3 days!

I <3 Y'all!!

RL, Central Marlow

Today went great! I saw God answering prayers today up front and personal. First a girl in my group prayed for rain and it showered on us today! Also, I pr walked and asked God for an opportunity to be a tool for him. Well the day started with a little discouragement when I talked to two guys and was sleeping and got mad and the other one could not speak English. So we went to supper and then I came back and started messing around with a soccer ball. This African then came up asking to join in. We started talking about spiritual things and he had a lot of questions so I gave him the book of John in English and in German. He then said he would read it and come back tomorrow. Today God taught me about pateince. Keep me in your prayers that I might say the right things.

SK, Boswell, Ok

Trusting in God really pays off. D and A got to come back to the park and play soccer. I really thing that our patience and getting to know those two guys has helped. A and I got on the subject of the Bible and I asked him if he had one. He told me he had one, so I asked him if he could read John 1-3 tonight. I told him that I would read it too, so we could talk about it tomorrow. He said he would and I got really excited. I think that was the moment we were all waiting for. Pray that God would speak to him and that the seed would grow that is going to be planted tonight. God bless.

SRS, Ft Gibson, Ok

It rained today. I have been praying since we have been here and I knew it would and it finally did. My heart has changed since I have been here. I really can't wait to get home and share with you guys. I have some ideas for school and youth and just can't wait to get back. I feel Germany next summer again, maybe here maybe somewhere else! Who knows?! I love you guys!

Hey guys! I had so much fun today. We went back to the park and got to hang out with the guys we met yesterday. We played soccer wtih them pretty much all day. We also got to teach them a little about American football. It was so cool getting to know them better too. Please pray for these guys that God will start to work in their hearts through or conversations and actions. God bless.

Ive had a lot of fun and thanks for the prayers.

TAC Davenport, OK

Today was really hot! But it was a really good day none the less. The high point of the day was playing soccer wtih some boys. They seem like really nice guys and I'm glad we're going to get to play soccer with them on Wednesday. One also promised to teach me how to flip-n-kick (I have video when I come home). Also, it was really chilly having another intern with us along with our JSI.

SRS Ft. Gibson, ok

S.H Teague

Today we had another great day in training, and in the park. It was a little discouraging at first because we want to really talk to people about our story, so we prayed for patience. At about 2:30 A and D came back to the park. They are 13 years old and on Vacation from school. We played a game of soccer, took a break, and then played a game of football, took a break, and then played another game of soccer. During one of the breaks David asked about my YEC shirt which open the door for some great opportunity. We kept it short, planting a small seed. At the end of the day we talked to both boys for about an hour. They showed us some soccer tricks and asked questions about America. David asked if he could come and visit of course we said yes. I sure hope he can come. We are going to continue to pr and build relationships with the two boys. They said they are coming back tommorow. Please pray we would be obedient and that if it be his will we share. Also please pray for GS, he fell yesterday and tore his ACL. He is very burned out. Also please pray for our JSI she is not felling well. Finally please pray for R, B, and B. Can't wait to come home to see you T & M, but its going to also be hard to leave.

Ok so yea football (soccer) is really an awesome sport and wintess opportunity. We've met some really cool kids at the park to play soccer with even though I like to watch more than play. Anyways the guys in the group use the sports to meet people but we girls are kind of struggling, but we will of course p.r for the guys and opportunities for talking.

Today we had another great day of training and ministry at the park. We met two young men who had been partying all last night, a man and his girlfriend who were training to be a bar tender, and two young boys. We were able to begin a relationship with all of these individuals and we hope to see them later this week. We know we will get to play soccer with the young boys (13) tomorrow so please pray for that. Also please pray for the other men we met as well as the other people the other groups met today.

S.H Teague

Today we began after some much needed rest. We trained for the first part and then after lunch we headed to a park, which is where we will be all week. The park is pretty typical with basketball courts, swing sets, and a small water park. The park is very full of diverse people. We spent all afternoon in pr as we walked around the park. We prayed for half hour and hour time frames with different people in our group. Today with different people in our group. Today God answered two of the pr's, one to meet some guys playing soccer and another for a group of guys. It is the most time I have spent in one day in pr. It was encouraging and very enjoyable. It was the most I have spent with Father on the Sabbath. Tomorrow looks even better, please continue to pr for all of us.

Z.A.M Muldrow

Well today was awesome we went to the park and pr walked from 12-6 it was great there we saw many people there and the worship before was amazing I will write more tomorrow. Bye.
