it wasn't the end.

Saturday Oct. 4th
Some people from the youth group at the church I did the program at came to the ship for a tour. It was so exciting to see them again and have further contact with them. I meet the group on deck 5 and then took them of a tour of the ship. After the tour we went to the dinning room to have something to drink and just talk. My friend Sam (was part of the program at the youth group) was talking to one of the youth leaders Camille about the church. Basically the church doesn't like OM for some reason and it was a huge step for the church to let us come and do the program at the youth group. Also it was an even bigger step for them to bring kids to the ship, one boys father wouldn't let him come. I know God sent us to that youth group to show them God love, share about missions and build relationships but I am also finding that he wants us to help mend the relationship between the church and OM. God sent us to that church to give them a fresh taste of who OM is and I just pray that we changed their mind about OM.
My time with this group on Saturday was great. They invited us to come to their church on a Sunday and to a concert. I also invited them back to the ship to come to our prayer night or worship night.

Monday Oct. 6th
Two girls from the youth group Irene and Miriam came to the ship to come to worship night. I was so excited to spend more time with them and maybe get the chance to further build the relationship that I had with them. We went to worship night and praised God together, it was awesome. There was a speaker that night and he came up to the mic and said that he felt like God was telling him that there was someone there that had divorced parents and they were still hurting from this. I knew that one of the girls parents were divorced and so I looked over at her and I could see the hurt in her eyes. I had a feeling that God was speaking to her, so i quietly prayed for her. I didn't get the chance to talk to her about it but I am praying an opportunity will arise.
It is so exciting that I have continued to meet with them because I have really been praying to God about this. Since the ship will be in Køge for a couple of months I really wanted to get the chance to build relationships with local people. I have prayed about this a lot and I am so thankful that God has given me this opportunity.

Please pray that my relationship with these girls will grow stronger and that I will continue to get opportunities to spend time with them.
