"By the Word of Their Testimony"

One assignment that our team has been given was to put their testimony into five sentences and come ready to share it at our team meeting. Have you tried it? It is easier said than done! The Word tells us, "And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony" Revelation 12:11. We are each called to share what Jesus has done for us. He also tells us to go and make disciples--so we should be ready at all times.

I had the privilege of hearing a speaker at our church recently and hearing him at both of our services. At the first service he shared his testimony in full length for the whole service. At service number two, he shared it in about 20 seconds...and it was just as powerful! I walked away from that experience to be prepared at any moment and to share the redemption that Jesus has done in my life! Even if I have 20 seconds to share with someone, Jesus can use it! To God be the Glory for what He has done and is doing. May I shout it from the rooftops!

As our Scotland team prepares their hearts and gets out of their comfort zones, we encourage you to join us! Pray for us as the Lord stirs this up in us! Join us in writing out and practice putting what God has done in your life into five sentences--and then share it! Be bold, be authentic, be the hands and feet of Jesus. Who do you know that needs to meet the One that came to set the captive free? For He is the One that conquered all.

How to Pray for Us

It seems only fitting for our first Scotland blog to be how to pray for us. We fully believe He has called us to this mission and we fully believe that what He calls us to, He equips us for. With that being said, we are trusting that God will rally His army to partner and pray with us! Thank you for being our army!

Our team is planning to go to the Isle of Lewis in Scotland, June 1-15. We are partnering with our friends and family over there to see the expansion of His Kingdom in the land that we know He loves. 

This trip is brand new for our RS Youth and we are looking forward to what God has for us as He takes us out of our comfort zones (that would be prayer request number 1 :) With that being said, please pray as our team begins to meet. Pray that we would be unified in all ways and we would become a family quickly.
