Halfway Done!

The India Team

Well, I’m at the halfway point of my Discipleship Training School in England! The Lecture Phase is drawing to a close; April 11 I’ll be leaving with 7 other students and one staff member for India.

Up to this point:

We’ve heard amazing lectures on everything from God’s Grace to the Father Heart of God to Justice to Missions.

We’ve spend time on the streets of Brighton handing out sandwiches, hot drinks, sleeping bags and socks to the homeless. We talked with them about their lives, listened to their stories, and told them about places where they could go for food and shelter.

We had time of intercessory prayer set aside every week; we all prayed in shifts for 36 hours straight, we learned about the power of blessing others verbally.

We’ve had a total of 50 students in this house for a week when the September 2008 DTS came back after their outreach and we served them a full 4-course meal on their graduation day.

We’ve played soccer, volleyball and other sports - the Americans even taught everyone American football on Superbowl Sunday.

We’ve become a DTS made up of three teams: the Africa Team (going to Uganda and possibly Sudan) the Europe Team (going to Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, and Germany) and, my personal favorite, the India Team (going you can guess where).

- and much more.

As we go off for our 10-week outreaches it’d be great to have your prayers; guidance and health being the main concerns for my team.

If you'd like to hear details about the outreach, feel free to email me at hilarysiebring@gmail.com - I'd love to email you with details or send you the prayer page for our team!

Thanks so much for reading!
