DWAZE ZAKEN

This is the outrageous place that we went to dinner tonight :) It means "The Foolish Things." it's the Christian Cafe that YWAM runs in the city. I've been trying to learn some Dutch words, and this is the only one i've gotten around to... So, anywho... We got our luggage! I think this disaster was kind of a blessing in disguise. I mean, we didn't have to carry all of our heavy stuff though the city, and we experienced what the majority of the world does on a daily basis, wearing the same thing everyday. Also, Cool News: Since we are still experiencing jet lag we all passed out real early last night, and woke up again about 3 hours later. but i have this sweet window right by my bunk that looks out over the streets. It gave me the opportunity to pray for the city for what seemed like forever. There was a woman sitting at the bus stop the entire night. Every time i woke up i saw her. I have no idea what her story is, however i know she has one. I love the way God does that sometimes, wakes you up just to open your eyes.
Also, the base has a prayer tower that looks out onto the entire city of Amsterdam. This morning we went up there and had our group/alone time. We prayed that God will give us the right message to speak, and that the people around us will be open to what is going to be shared. Now, we are beginning to watch God move.
Just got back from a Discipleship Training meeting with the students from YWAM. Among about 35 students, over 12 different languages were represented. All different cultures with all the same passion.
Tomorrow we are going to the Anne Frank House, learning more about trafficking through some videos, and then we are doing a Prayer Walk through the Red Light District... be praying for that. I'm sure it will be intense.
We are all really excited about what God is doing in and around us. I'll continue to keep you updated as often as i can :)

  2. Kirby,

    Thanks for the update. Loved talking with you this morning. What an adventure! We're praying for you as you feel the burden for these women. We love you and are proud of you.

    Stoop down and reach out to those who are oppressed. Share their burdens, and so complete Christ's law. Galatians 6:2

    Love you so much.

    Dad
