not much left!

i apologize for the lack of blog... but here it is!

in an hour, we will have a team meeting and get feedback on yesterday as well as chill with God and talk about today's activities.

this week we have been doing programs at a church for the community.
half of us are doing a vacation Bible school... and the other group are talking with the adults about discipleship.. a much needed topic and tool here!

our topic in the VBS has been.. God is...
it really is a good question.. and today...
we talk about "God is...

Love!"

if only we knew how much He loved us...

that would change everything.

last weekend i spoke at a youth camp... about God's love.
It was so good!

thank you for all the prayers.
we have two more days at this church.. and on sunday we travel to Jinotega!
there we will be working and staying at an orphanage until friday. after that, saturday is packing and sunday is traveling.
we will finish up our outreach over the following couple days and fly back to Berlin on the 4th arriving on the 5th at Tegel.. (8:00ish in the morning).

it's crazy to think that the outreach is almost finished... or.. our time in nicaragua is coming to an end. as much as i wanted it in the beginning.. it brings a sadness knowing i may never see any of these people again. all the kids we have worked with... or the hugs shared with strangers... the families that freely invited us in their homes for prayer... the kids at this school on the ywam base... i may very well never see them again in my life...
but as one worker sows.. another waters and yet another reaps... God is the ONE who makes it grow... so i believe that He will continue to do His work in this place.. that it is not hopeless. He has a plan and i have been blessed to be part of it!

thank you for all the prayers and following me on this journey...

it has truly just began...

as for other things..
i am not sick anymore.. i spent 4 days miserable in bed and walking around.. then on the fifth, we finally went to the lab... which in itself was an experience and the cheapest place i have gone to for help!
no time to explain it now though...
(i'll update)

God has provided in miraculous ways in the finances.. so thank you for the prayers.
i still owe about 400 euros... 550 USD...
please continue to pray...
i'm excited to see how God provides the rest!

thank you again for following and praying!

ich muss gehen!
Father thank You for providing and blessing us in so many ways!
Thank You Jesus!
please bless all who are reading these blogs and have sown into my life.
Du bist gut! we pray in Jesus Name, Amen!

we shall talk soon!

much love, israel
bakerys are great!
