This morning I read more of Acts in Quiet Time. Today it struck me how God had really set Paul up with everything he needed for his life telling people about Jesus: he knew the scriptures, so he could show other Jews how Jesus was the promised one from that; he was a Roman citizen, so he had certain rights that he wouldn't have done otherwise. He was the right man at the right time. After that we continued with our study on The Bible, and looked at almost all the rest of the books of the Old Testament. The teacher has real books with the names of each of the books of the Bible written on them, and after he talks about each book, he places them on a table in chronological order. This is quite useful, as it shows which books are talking about the same moments in history. Reading the Old Testament could be a bit frustrating if you didn't know some books just repeate a lot of the same information! We also had an interesting discussion on why God said to destroy certain cities by force. After lunch and Community Care, I helped set up the dining hall with speakers and a mixing desk for a concert held here tonight. It was fun (for me) to get to work with some musical cables. I like that type of thing! The cases the microphones came in reminded me of the type at my Portsmouth church, which was nice. We had our next meeting about the India outreach after that. We spoke about unity, and prayed for each other. We also shared some pictures we thought God was giving us, and discussed them too. After dinner I was asked if I wanted to be on the security/stewarding team for the concert, so I put on a few more layers of clothing, and went. I stayed outside for a couple of hours or so, directing cars towards the car park. Once no more cars were coming, the team stayed outside and talked about various things, such as the interesting things that have happened on the other team members' outreaches. It was an interesting, yet cold time. I've been here almost 6 weeks now! This YWAM DTS course is fantastic.
