Urlaub? Not likely.

Quick/Important Announcement:  I've decided to apply to extend my Student Visa.  Please, be in prayer agreement that the paperwork runs smoothly and that the finances come through (support "letters" will be sent out soon).


"Oh great, summer's coming!  That means you'll have more free time, right?!  You gonna go somewhere for vacation?!"

Riggghhhttt... more free time.  Nope.  Not happening.  Not for this kid.  Summer is just as busy, if not busier, for me.  Sure, I'm not working or at the Uni, but there is PLENTY to do for Blast and Exousia that I am definitely BUSY.  With what, you may ask?  I need some prayer support for the following summer endeavors.

July:
1. German final
2. Hauskreis (House Group) (HK)
3. Vinex Meeting (Vinex is the combined youth groups from Exousia and Vineyard-Graz)
4. Rehearsal for camp worship.  Church.
6-10. Moving to Blast Hill.
9. HK
15.19. Youth Camp- Passion!
19-22. Mandy visits
22.-??. trip to Croatia for some full on ministry.  I'll be doing a lot of prayer/intercession ministry, as well as practically serving some specific families.  This will be an intense time that will have great impact on the region.  I've not set a solid plan as I'm not yet sure just how long Abba wants me there.  It is important that I am sensitive and wise about this time.
End of July. HK mini-retreat at Blast Hill

August:
1-16. SOW preparations and closings
6. HK
7. Vinex Meeting (tbd)
8. self declared DAY OFF
9. Vital SOW prep day in Brauhaus
10-15. SOW 
Mid/End of Aug. Return to Croatia for more ministry and maybe even a few days of REST!

During the weeks where it seems like "nothing" happens, there is PLENTY of planning work that I have to be doing.  The great thing about summer, though, is that I know I'll get a lot of good ice cream.  So, summer season, HERE I COME!
