My heart was broken agian.

On Friday September 26 a small group of us went to a rock concert in Koge. I had no desire for the music, I had a desire for the people that would be at this concert. I wanted to take this opportunity to meet some locals and try to build some relationships. I had no idea what would be in store. The venue that the concert was in served alcohol, I am not a fan of alcohol so it was hard for me to see teens drinking. But aside from the loud rock music and beer there was something that really broke my heart. First there were these 3 girls who were dressed in very skimpy outfits and on top of that they were very drunk. Every time I saw them they had a new full glass of beer. During the music they would come in and start dancing very dirty with each other, it was so hard to see. My heart broke for these girls, I could see the emptiness in them. I could see that they were covering up their hurt with alcohol and dressing skimpy. At this concert I could feel God telling me that these are the people he wants me to reach out to. When Jesus came he hung out with the drunkards, prostitutes and tax collectors, God is calling me to do the same. He is calling me to love on these people. God has opened a door for me to meet teens here, i am going to a youth group just outside of Copenhagen with a group of people from the ship, we are putting on the program for the youth group. We will be telling them about the ship, we are doing some funny skits, games and also sharing testimonies and stories about the ship. I will be sharing my salvation testimony with the group. I am hoping that this will give me a chance to meet teens and potentially build a relationship with them that might involve spending time with them outside of the youth group and inviting them to the ship. I know that God has a plan for us when we go to this youth group, we will just have to see what that plan is.

Please pray that God will open up more opportunities for me to hang out and build relationships with people in Koge.
