I'M LEAVING ON A JETPLANE!

Eight weeks in Nepal: about 38 of us Discipleship Training School Staff and Students are leaving on Sunday, Sept. 25, 2005 @ 4:40pm (that is Saturday @ 1:40am for all of you fine California people back home) to spend 5 weeks in the beautiful Kathmandu valley. We are going to play with street kids, help in orphanages and talk to whomever at any given moment of the day, all to tell each person we come in contact with that Jesus Christ has died for them and has given them life and love. From there, we will do the sort of the same thing, but we will be trekking up some mountains (some of you may know them as the Himilayas... ok, so only the base parts of them, but STILL!) and staying in some villages while we're there. It makes me a bit nervous... what will we eat and where will we sleep? Then, on the last week there, we will hike down the mountains and spend some time in the Kathmandu valley before our team splits up to tell the world about Jesus even more! 12 of us, including myself, will head to Bangkok, Thailand where we will be teaching English to University students for about 3 weeks! The rest of the team will come back to Western Australia to minister in our city of Perth, neighboring cities such as Albany, Geraldton & Bunbury... working with high schools, jr. highs, maybe even aboriginal colonies...

"... The time is coming and is already here when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for anyone who will worship him that way." John 4:23

God is calling us to worship Him in truth, with everything in us, no matter what the cost, no matter when the time period, no matter where the location. Am I really willing to go? I don't always feel like I am... but I will do it despite myself because I don't live for myself, but I'm dead and He lives through me.

I'm a bit scared, I'm very excited but more than anything, I am anticipating God rock my world with the experiences, the people and the places that I am stepping into!

AND HERE I GO!

Love you all so much, I already miss you all so much... so don't be afraid to keep in touch. I will constantly be checking my email and my myspace! ROCK ON! -Miriam S. D.
