RB-Calera, OK
I got really frustrated yesterday cause I felt like I wasn't being obedient to my God because I was talking to a lot of people but I wasn't getting into any dep conversations with them about spirituality. I talked it over with someone and they reassured me that simply by letting people know I'm a follower of Christ and lving them for who they are, is being obedient, because that is planting a seed.
BRAT-Balko, OK
Today was sad and happy! It was the last ministry day! But it was incredible. I feel God has called me to the m field! I'm not sure where, but very excited! I also hung out with my friend I met yesterday, D! She is amazing! I pray for her all the time! Miss you all! Much love!
TLS-Miami, OK
TOday was awesome. I'm sad that it was the last day in the park, but God has let me experience, be taught, discover, and grow so much over the past week. More than ever before. Tomorrow a day of relaxation and then I'm coming home. I'm not sure to be happy or sad...PEACE!!!
WB-Durant, OK
This week has blown me away. I've seen God work in ways I haven't before. I have learned so much and made unforgettable memories. D came to the picnic tonight. I was so happy. Before she left to catch a train, I sat her down and told her about Jesus and my story. She knows English very well so I gave her my bible. She's still not sure about her beliefs but I know God used me to sow a seed in her. I was upset after she left but I know God is in control and his timing is perfect. Love to all.
BP- Tishomingo OK
Hallo! Today was amazing! These 2 girls that I met yesterday ended up coming back today, but I didn't think they would be, so we talked for a long time and another girl that I met tues. came back. and I talked to her for about an hour. I was so pumped up today because I feel like God really listened and answered my prayers. Today is our last day and I'm not ready to go yet but and the same time I want to be home. I love you all!
JE- Davis OK
Hey loves! Today was our last day in our park. *tear* Me and A.B. went and talked to these 2 chicks and one of them was a Jahova's Witness trying to minister to the other chick. She was like "the dif. between us and regular christians is that we take the bible seriously." I was kinda offended but oh well. Anyway I'm really exsisted to go back home. I've learned so much here and I'm just ready to put it in effect at home.

It rained today- not just from the sky, but more so from the heart- for all the lost we did not get to sew seeds in- to all those we told our stories to who were not interested- and for the children being raised in "lost" homes. We trust God is all knowing thus we are obedient to leave all things in His care. May His name be always praised in Cologne. We pray God was glorigied in the love amongst us.

So today was pretty cool. I got to talk to about 6 people.I only got to share to about 3 of them. One lady JE met was from Africa. She took us to this African store and showed us the fresh fish. They were only 7 Euros so JE brought one and we kept it for about 3 and a half hours. By the time we got back to the hostel he was thawed out and smelly. Another funny thing happened. JE and I went back to the ice cream place with the funny guy and he asked for our numbers, lol. We wrote our names down on a card with Global Spectrums number so he can get a hold of us. We want to invite him to the picic with everyone else we met while here. So anywho, I'm doing great. Sorry dad, I'm not coming home. Just kidding. But I do feel called back here next summer. Just want you all to know that I'm praying for you and hope you pray for me! Love you!

JE Davis, OK
Today was awesome! Me and AB met two girls, one was really interested when we brought up religion but her friend kinda brought it down. One girl asked "So to become a Christian do you just have to be a good person and go to church all the time to go to heaven?" I was shocked. Thats the 1st time I have ever met anyone who didn't know thats not what its about. So we're pring we see them again.

TJW, Woodward
Today- pr walking in the Bonn University park. Praying over the place, the people and ourselves came very easy. Approaching people was uncomfortable for me, but I spoke with 2 young ladies! Today I was obedient & God has opened doors for us. The challenges prove our God Reigns
JR, Texarkana, TX
Today was kinda tough. We are still a little jet lagged, so I'm still tired and a little cranky. Our area is Bonn, which is 30 min by train from Koeln. After lunch we went to bonn and had SC (simple church) then started PR walking, we did that from 1:45 pm to 6:15 (American: 6:45 am to 11:15) and we are gonna eat Chinese for dinner, Love you all.

Today was very intersting to sum it up. We PR walked for about 5 hours. I had a few encounters with the locals that I definately won't forget. We left K and came to B to the college out here. The Rhine River is within walking distace and is absolutely beautiful. It was hard to stay focused because there were soccer games and volleyball going on. We also went to this ice cream shopand the guy hwo scooped out our stuff was really funny. Random Fact: You have to pay to us the bathroom. THINGS TO TRY: Mayonaise and fries...YUMMY!!! Love yall!!!
BRAT Balko, Ok
Today we PR walked in a prak at a Uni we did that all day. It was rough. But Father gave me endurance to keep going. I also came encountered with a couple of people. Asked them how I can PR for them. They responded positive. The language is a barrier but I'm getting better at it. Pls PR for guidence in my walk while I'm here.
JE, Davis, Ok
We PR walked all day today, so ya if you were wondering what I did that was it. Our site is at a park theres a lotof people here.

It will help me stay focused more with Father this week.
BP. Tishomingo OK

Today we were split into a group. We had a JSI with us, but we had to find our way around Cologne. We had to search for certain items. Came in counter with many people! Pray for strength and God will give me wisdom
BP Tishomingo, Ok
Today has been quite long but also a neat experience. The people here are fascinating just to watch the way they do things. Jet lag is beginning to take effect and I can barely keep my eyes open. We did a "scavenger hunt" to get familiar with the town and everything is beautiful! Tomorrow is when we go out to start our stuff! Keep praying!
TJW Woodward, Ok
Cologne is diversified, the people are unique. There is little sign of Christianity. I am thankful for a smoke-free public in Oklahoma! Pray for rest and boldness for each of us, and for hearts to be changed in Cologne.
WB Durant, Ok
Today was VERY tiring, but well worth it. The city is so diverse and somewhat stern . Please pray that we are able to meet these people where they are specifically in the days to come. Love to all.
