Rachel's Birthday and Shabbat for the masses

Here's a continue of the last weeks activities. I hope you all know that we are always excited to share with you what God is doing, but the internet doesn't always grant me the pleasure.

We took half a Shabbat’s rest and then a van full of us headed up to a camp of about 30 youth. On the way to the camp, Anja Herzog shared a dream of a room full of fire places, lined up one after another. In the fire places there was dirty water and as we tried to light them on fire, the water would put them out. Our direction from the Lord was to clean out the dirty water, and put fresh lighter fluid in them, enabling God to ignite this generation.

The 8 of us were excited at the chance for God to “get ‘em” and started off the service building trust by sharing our own experiences and testimonies. Among our team were Anja Arnold and Micah who are both under 18. We were able to impact the youth with the conviction of never being too young to start serving the Lord! God was faithful to encounter the hungry hearts and we spoke many prophetic words over the leadership team.

The next day the same team went for the last day of camp with the expectation to see the baptism of fire come. We extended an invitation for those who wanted the baptism of the Holy Spirit and He transformed lives that day. We brought the reality of our living God to a group of teenagers who can transform their nation!

November 4th was Rachel’s birthday and she was excited to start the day by sharing at a Salvation Army church meeting. Afterwards the whole team went downtown to a bowling alley in Geneva!

It was a special event with 3 different bowling teams and tons of photo ops! You could tell our team needed a day out as we all cheered excitedly for one another and showed the French how Americans bowl…Loudly!

Hanah satisfied with her score of 99, compared to her usual 30. The highest score was by Sam at a whopping 127. Spirits were high, pins were low!

For dinner we had Rachel’s favorite: hamburgers and french fries. Her birthday dessert was a lovely hot fudge sundae! She was overjoyed when she got the beautiful coat she had been asking for and was excited to wear it out for the tour of Geneva we had the next day.

For Shabbat, Kes lead the team cooking for 100 people! Rena did a lovely job organizing all the teams which included set up, cooking, watching kids, transportation, and clean up! It ran ultra smooth and we had great reviews from guests. But beyond the food and practical aspect, God really gave us grace and touched many others.

Rebekah and Bedig led the prayers in French along with Youval and Valerie. The evening included worship and a time of prayer over the youth attending.
