Hey guys! Today was a lot of fun prayer walking with CS for a while, then PKP and I went to the campus cafeto pray for a while. We ended up reading all of 1 Peter which was about a lot of things we discussed this week. Then we talked to 2 girls about the differences in our religions. I pray God sparks a curiosity about Jesus in their hearts from our conversation today. In Germany ice cream is called "eis" and its absolutely incredible. I am eating Tiramisu flavored eis right now! I love and miss youall. You guys rock!

TC yale OK

See ya'll later, love you and miss you.

Guten Tag! I met a really nice girl and got her email so we can keep in touch adn we might see each other tomorrow. The most we talked about in religion is she thinks youcan have a belief but not need a body organized church. Then she changed the subjects. So she didn't really ellaborate, but i plan to keep in touch, pray BIG prayers for her. I also met R who has nothing to do with church or God. I won't see her because she's leaving till tuesday, but we also got emails. pray for her too. Miss you, tell E Hi. I love you!!

Hey. Today was awesome! We went back to the university today and we tried to talk to people. At first it was raining, then in cleared up.

PKP, Ardmore

So today was sowing day. We had SC (simple church) and prayer walked for about 40 minutes. I walked around a lot with our TL but I felt God telling me to go with 2 other girls. During our walk they felt God telling them to talk to these 2 girls at a café. They spoke very good English though the conversation didn’t turn, God blessed me with a peace and confidence to start conversations with more people! I miss my family! I love you guys! XO

CTB, Winchester

Hey guys! We had an awesome day! We are reading through the book of Acts and I’m really getting a lot out of it. The morning worship service rocked and I’m excited to have everyone learn some of the songs we have been singing. CK and I prayer walked again today and spent a lot of time praying specifically for the man we met yesterday. God has really put a burden on my heart for him. Love and miss you all!

RS, Tulsa

Hey everyone! So right now I’m eating pizza with my wonderful trek group! It’s a margherita (cheese) pizza! Haha! We are doing wonderful! Today we prayer walked again and P, C, and I talked to 2 german ladies-S and R. We talked to them for an hour. It was an awesome experience! Random fact #1: They have lots of extra carbonation in their pop and apple juice.

TC, Yale

Today was cool. Me, M & D talked to a guy that did not speak English. He did hand motions instead. Surprisingly I could understand him. He had a dog so he was east to approach. Another lady with a dog we talked to, she was cool. God showed me some amazing things today. I’ll explain them when I get back. Love and miss you all.

CW, Hugo

Today we learned about sowing and what it meant. We went back to the University and had simple church. During it, we talked about what we had learned from reading Acts 8-16. Then we went prayer walking for 30 minutes. After that, me and 2 other girls met these 2 women named R and S. We talked to them for like an hour and 20 minutes! S parents actually live in Oklahoma city. I thought that was cool! Hopefully we will see them again! We ate pepperoni pizza for dinner and I go a diet coke too, it tastes the same here. I can’t wait until tomorrow!! Tschuss!

CS, Fairview

We began the sowing phase today. I am mentally tired today. I made one contact who had limited English speaking. She was a mother of 3 close to the ages of my oldest 2. Pray!! I miss and love you!

CK Claremore

Today we went back to the University and CTB and I prayed a lot. We didn’t meet anyone new but it was such an amazing day. We are just trusting God’s timing and direction. Love you with all my heart and miss you like crazy! Pray, pray, pray!!!

MLM

Hey guys, I'm staying forever. Not really. I'm doing fine. Mom don't worry. I'm not dead. It's new but it feels like home here. Read Acts its amazing again!

TC, Yale

Today was another amazing day. All we did is prayer walk for a few hours, but God spoke to me alot. Im still alittle jet lag, but its ok. Me and another guy sat down and read scripture aloud to each other and it wasn't until we realized that a girl behind us was listening to us. We came back about 5 minutes later and she was gone. I felt so bad I wish I could have done more for here. That's it for now. Love you and Mss you all.

CS, Fairview

We PR today for 4 1/2 hours at the University. We stretched ourselves today. Pray for opportunities over the next 4 days as we begin contact.

PKP, Ardmore

So, I'm awake today! I'm very excited that we are at the University. Pray that God will open my heart and eyes and give me boldness to respond to Him. I thank the Lord for changing my heart and mind for Him and His purpose.

Dak

Hey mother...Whats up? We woke up at 6 and went to eat and stayed here till 12:00. After that we went prayer walking all day. It was amazing. Im really tired. Again. I will write tom. Love you baby. lol.

CW, Hugo, OK

Today we went to the University. Thats where my group will be all week. We had simple church there where we talk about what we learned while reading in Acts in the morning. We are going to read Acts every morning before going to our park, today we read through the first 8 chapters. After simple church we went prayer walking for like 4 and a half hours! It didn't seem as long as it was. We had a partner and would switch like every 30 minutes, we prayed about everything, and read scripture and prayed about it. I have never prayed that long before, but I stayed focused and made it through, thanks to God! For supper, we ate at Taco Loco. It was a mexican restaurant. I ate nachos. It was like the only thing I could read on the menu. Everything was in German, yet it was a Mexican restaurant. I thought it was funny! Anyway, today was awesome!

CK, Claremore, OK

I miss everyone so very much! However I'm having the best time in Cologne. I could definitely live here (if I spoke German.) Today we went to our sight, the University, and prayer walked over the campus. It was amazing to spend the afternoon in prayer. A guy started talking to CTB and he asked us what we were reading (the Bible) and a conversation started up. Please pray for direction tomorrow because we are going to start convo's. Love you!

CTB, Winchester, KY

Hey guys! I had an awesome day. CK and I talked to a guy named Phillys on the University campus. He asked about the bible and we may see him tomorrow. Pray that he will be receptive to the message. We prayer walked for 5 hours today, which was an incredible experience. I don't think I've ever prayed that long at one time in al my life! Love and miss you bunches!

Rae

Hello everyone! Today we prayer walked at Cologne University. We are all doing really good! Love you!

CS, Fairview

We are here! It is very exciting but I am very tired. I have not slept in 31 hours now- no there was now sleeping on the plane. Today we walked the City to learn the transportation & to become familiar with Köln. I made some observations about the people, but I'm too tired to reflect at this moment. Pray that our group will get rest and feel refreshed thi sevening. Tomorrow we will begin our tasks given.

PKP, Ardmore

Base Campw was a very unique experience. And right now I'm really too tired to comprehend what happened today much less write about it. All I can say is that jetlag is not fun.

CTB Winchester

I'm exhausted! We're going on 34 hours without sleep, and the minute we arrived we hit the ground running. The City is absolutely gorgeous! I can't wait to see it when I'm not so sleep deprived. Mom I'm already half way through Battlefield of the Mind & I love it! Love & miss ya like crazy!

CK, Claremore

I've become an insomniac! We are running on 34 hours without sleep. It's 6:00pm now and you guys are probably getting out of church. Don't forget Falls Creek papers and seeing if Jordan will babysit for me on Monday the ninth. It is so beautiful here, I wish you could see it! Today we wlked all ove rthe city & learned how to use the train system. I love you and miss you all! Keep praying!

TC, Yale

Yo, Today we went & messed around in the city. We went to Star Bucks, a lot. The Cathedral was huge, during the service some people were taking pics. I was a little mad, but I could not stop 40 or 50 people from taking pics. The ice cream is awesome. I cain't wait to start talking & sharing with people. Just keep on praying, & remember to pray for Boldness as I walk to people about Jesus. I will be praying for you every day. Love you & Miss You all.

CW, Hugo

Today was so so so long! The plane ride was like 9 hours. It wasnt that bad, but it was really hard to fall asleep. When we go to Frankfurt we met two JSI's who took us to the hosetel. While there, they told us we were doing like a scavenger hunt called "streetwise" so we could learn how to use the trains & get around if we ever got lost. It was also a way to keep us up so we won't have jet lag for like 3 or 4 days. I've been up for like 30 hours straight. We don't get to sleep until 8:00pm. After we got done with the game my group went to the dome which was this huge Catholic church. We walked all the way up it & back down which was a total of 1000 steps! And I didn't even have shoes on. I wore flip-flops. Right now I am in zombie mode. I also drank my first bottle of carbonated water. It was different. I ate Greek food for lunch & Italian Ice which wa awesome ice-cream! All in all, things are going great, I'm just ready to take a shower & go to sleep!

DH, Hinton

Im tired!!! The plane ride was like 10 hrs long. Once we got to Frankfurt, we got ona train and came here to Köln. It was awesome because it went 180! When we got here we walked around Köln and figured out all the TRAINS we would be riding. We walked everywhere to get to know our way around. Be praying for us all. Love you.

ML, Marietta

Flying was fun, bootcamp was awsome, seeing the city was amazing. So far so Good. A little tired but will survive.

RS, Tulsa

Well, the 10 hour plane ride with no sleep kind of made most of us worthless today. We worked train system & I got to take a picture with a statue! I can already tell that God is going to do some amazing things this week. Love you all!
