FOUND BY GRACE

Love doesn't start with the eyes, Starts with the heart. Look deep down inside. You have the chance- To make a choice, to make a change. So take the chance To make a choice, to make a change. -->So make the choice to look with the eyes of your heart ~India Arie

My new team.


These are my new Global Action Zurich (gaz) teammates, well all but 2. In the back left; Tom Vogt (Switzerland), David Gabriel (Switzerland), Philipp Eschbach (Switzerland), Stephan Heis (Switzerland), and Front Row Left; Matthias Bommeli (Switzerland), Noemei Vogt (Switzerland) Heike Lippmann (Germany), ME (Canada..yay!), and Essi Lahti (Finland). Not in the photo are Bill Yeo and Sara Comeau, both from Canada.
Philipp is the team leader; he is in charge of keeping us all organized. Matthias is the PR guy. He is another leader and does a lot of the office work. Heike is the girl leader...She's great. Eac leader also mentors different teammates.
Stephen, Bill, and Sara, have all been on the team for just about 2 years. They will be finished here in December of this year.
As for the rest of us, we are all rookies!! Tom and Noemie will be here for 3 years, I will be here 2, and Essi and David will be here for 1 year.

From now until December we will go through a training program, where each week we will study and learn hands on how to work in the different areas of ministry.

My Outline for the next few months:
This week- City Ministry
September 26-30 Kids Work
October 3-7 Street Work
10-14 Gasseneinsatze..translated into English, this means "Lane Employment" so we will be going out and working on the street and practicing what we learned the week before.
17-21 Kids week. This week we will be doing a weeklong outreach in the church.
24-28 Islam
November (31)-4 Research- get more info and do some research on something in this area of Zurich that you are interested in.
7-11 Youth
14-18 Servant/Lit. Not exactly sure on this one...
21-25 Communication
December (28)-2 Reflection..looking back on all the different ministries. It will be here where I will sit down with the leaders and decide which ministries I want to fill my schedule up with.
Its going to be a lot of learning filled with new experiences, but I am excited, and want to learn the different ways to reach the different people.

Sounds exciting! Today I ripped 1''X6" into 1"X3" (boards) and starting constructing a flat (kind of a wall). Next week I learn how to use a nail gun. Look at all these skills we're learning! How's the language barrier coming along? Miss you!
