New Direction

Hello!

We just finished our week on Evangelism taught my Cliff Weiner. This week was a huge week for me with which direction the Lord wants to take my life. Numerous things have come into the decision that I have made, but most of all through many days of prayer and seeking the Lord to truly hear His voice, I feel that He is calling me serve in a different way away from YWAM in my outreach. I have come to a real peace about this decision. I know that in all thing God works it for the good of His kingdom. I will be returning to Denver after the completion of my 12 weeks of lectures. In just the past 8 weeks I have experienced God in a completely new transformational way. I have entered into His presence and heard His voice speak to me on which direction He wants my life to go. Thank you so much for all of your prayers of direction in this amazing time of growth. If you have any questions for me please e-mail me at samharper20@hotmail.com. I love you all, and am so thankful for all of you. Please continue to pray as I do the same. Blessings. 

Hey from Perth after the completion of week 7!

We just finished Relationships week with Mark Parker. It was a good week with a roller coaster worth of emotions. I know that so many of you are praying for me, and have told others to be praying for me as well; I cannot say how much I appreciate all these prayers. Everyday I am seeking to be in the presence of God. We had a great day of application on friday that included communion and being anointed by oil from the Holy Spirit. Every time I have entered into God's presence since being here He has been telling me something very exciting about my future. God has placed on my heart getting involved with some type of youth ministry, giving me the challenge of speaking to every high school in all of Colorado. I just wanted to share that with all of you, and ask that God continues to give me direction about my future. It's all very exciting, but I still need to find all my security from God alone knowing that He is at my side with every decision that I make. Some things with outreach have been changed, and a real sense of unease has risen in me. Please pray for direction on which way I should go with the subject of outreach. I will keep you all posted with what decision I make. Thank you all for your prayers and your love. I love you all.

Week Done/ Prophecy

Hello Everyone!

Sorry that it has been a couple weeks since my last posting. It has been real busy here physically, emotionally, and especially spiritually. We just finished a week of teaching from a pastor from New Zealand named Jono Turner. The teaching was on the Father Heart of God, a subject that I knew many surface things about but once we really dove deep into it God began to reveal more and more of his heart and his feelings towards me! The last day of class we had an application of everything we had learned from the week with prayer and testimony. Jono has the gift of prophecy and God lead him to pray over me and he gave me the words that I will have a great power with my mouth and the words that I speak. "My tongue will be able to speak words of silver" he said, I was truly amazed at this experience and could feel the Holy Spirit moving in me. It was a real good week with the weather being even more beautiful. It is around the mid 70's here everyday it seems so very comfortable learning weather! I was responsible of 10 people to clean an entire dorm that students were living in due to the staff being on a week long retreat. I felt very comfortable in my responsibilities and the week went by with no glitches whatsoever. The indoor soccer team I am on won our third straight game in a row (I am still looking for my first goal, I just know it's right around the corner!). This coming week we are discussing Relationships which should be a fun topic. I feel like I am a very relational person who has some very significant relationships in my life so this one should be fun. I hope you are all doing great and enjoying the luxuries of home. I don't think the Australians really have my sense of humor, but I'm not letting that stop my joke telling! I will be leaving for Myanmar for 5 weeks starting December 27th. Please keep that in your prayers. I love ya'll. More to come soon!

Outreach Location

Hey everyone,

It was another great week here in Perth. This weekend the Red Bull Air Race was held so that provided some good entertainment under the sun! This past week the class being taught was Intercession and Worship. Truly finding out how to show how worthy God is (and that is of our entire lives every aspect of our lives) and how to really dive deep into prayer and really feel the presence of God! It was an intense week of ups and downs but God is faithful and is always home! On Friday it was announced that my school of 15 people will split up into two teams come December 27th for outreach. Team 1 will be going to Thailand for 2 weeks and then to Myanmar (Burma) for 4 weeks, then come back to Australia for 4 more weeks of outreach on the north coast of Australia. Team 2 will head straight to Myanmar for 5 weeks and will come back to Perth for 2 weeks, and will meet back up with the other team for the 4 weeks back here in Australia. I have not found out which team I have been put on but I know that God will put me where He needs me. Please keep the countries of Thailand, Myanmar, and Australia in your prayers. I will keep you all posted with which team I end up being on. This week we are learning about the Fear of the Lord. I'm looking forward to this week and all that God has in store for it. I watched Ironman this weekend, great movie recommend it to everyone! I love you all, THE POWER OF PRAYER IS MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU THINK, no matter what it is God just wants you to say it out loud to Him. Please continue to keep me in your prayers for strength and perseverance. I got to see my grandparents in Virginia and my grandma in Nashville this week via webcam, it was the best gift I could think of. They are the greatest grandparents I could have ever wished for! I love you all! Here are some pictures of the Air Race, and the first picture is just my favorite picture in the world that I just wanted to share with all of you!
