CB - Gallop, NM

Today we could tell that the prayng the previous days had really paid off. We were able to have great conversations. In fact, we were invited for a tour of one of the largest radio stations in Cologne. She may be coming to the picnic on Thursday. Overall, it was a good day.

JP - Marlow, OK

Today we went back to the park. I didn't get into any real spiritual conversations but I talked to several different people. No adults really had time to talk. I did get to play wall ball with a little boy and girl and A- it was pretty fun. Then A-, J-, and I played soccer against like 8 little german kids. They beat us by one, I didn't score but I was great with the assists.

JCJ - Duncan, OK

Today I talked to a lady for a while. She is really confused. She has read the Bible and believes there is a God. She still needs to accept Christ and understand. There weren't very many people there today, so we did a lot of prayer walking. I got to speak in German a little to a lady telling her about the picnic so that was exciting. I had erdbeer eis yesterday!!

SMR - Prague, OK

Hey! Had a very hot day today. I am soo sunburned. I learned an important lesson during this trip...just cause you don't have allergies in America doesnt mean you won't have any in Germany...so in other words I have a really bad runny nose thingy. But anyway talk to you after the LONG plane trip home. Love you, and the animals!

AR - Hobart, OK

Well today went great. I talked to five peple today and most of them I have a time set to talk to tomorrow. It went great talking to them. I just hope that God speaks to me and through me the rest of the week. But it's going good so far, and miss and love all of ya.

AR, Hobart, OK

Today has been the best day by far. Today we got the chance to walk around and talk to people. I talked to one lady one on one and it was awesome to learn about her culture and her beliefs. God has been working in all of our lives so far and he still is. God bless and miss all of you

CCA - OKC, OK

Today we actually started talking with the people. They are really friendly but none of them attend church regularly.

CB, Gallup, NM

Today was good. I felt like really praying and standing in the gap for our team. Most of the people we talked to were not very good with English. However, the more we prayed the more our other team members had good conversation. Prayer request: ankles and knees!

JK - Muskogee, OK

Today was not as hot as yesterday which is good. Today we were allowed to interact with the people around the park. And hopefully I'll get plenty of sleep tonight.

LDB - Tishomingo, OK

Today was a great day. We talked to a few people and one girl asked me a few questions about my religion. It was awesome getting to share and learn about the culture here.

MP - Texarkana, TX

Today we began talking to people in the oark, We are beginning to understand more of the culture here. Please pray for the people we meet.

ADO - Harrah, OK

Today was awesome! We walked around and "sowed" which means we went and talked to people in our park! We built relationships with them and tried to move more into a spiritual talk, and most of the women I talked to believed in no god or haven't even heard of HIM! So pray that God would open their hearts! We did get to give a lady a bible which wad awesome! And on a random note, it's extremely true that America is the fattest country!

JP - Marlow, OK

Today was really awesome. I got a chance to talk to a couple guys. At first they claimed to be atheists but the longer I talked to them, the more hope I saw. I love getting to talk to these people.

AR - Hobart, OK

Well today went so great, we walked around a city park for about 4 hours doing prayerwalking, around and praying was so awesome.

God is good and He still has big plans for us. Well love and miss all of ya.

We walked a lot and were prayer walking. I got to know my team leader. I got stung by a bee. Hey mom, we finally know I'm not allergic.

JP - Marlow, OK

Today we got really familiar with Germany. One part of it anyway. We prayer walked for like 4 or 5 hours in a park. It was pretty cool. The park we were at was kind of like a ghost town though...pretty empty everywhere. Now we get cold coke and pizza. Now just to find some a/c. No...but seriously.

JK - Muskogee, OK

Today was yet again tiring. Jetlag is still in effect for a majority of us. Our color group, which includes 12 prayer walked in groups of two and it was very hot. Thank you for those that are praying for us.

LDB-Tishomingo, OK

Today was amazing! It's so awesome to see all the people and her how they talk. We climbed to the top of the Dom and I was in awe of the beautiful buildings and bridges. Even though I haven't slept since Thursday night I am still pumped and ready to go!

KCJW- Dewey OK

Wow have you ever been somewhere for such a short period of time and feel like your heart is getting ripped out because you have to leave? I absolulely love this place and it's hard to leave and not get to see all of the great things God's doing through the people here. I love you all. see you soon!

KS sand springs OK

Hey guys! Well today was were on the trainride home and Stacy and I were talking to this guy and he completely shot us down for being christians. It really deflated my hope but I know that maybe he'll think back on our kindness and think "wow" they have a gift that I don't have." Maybe he'll realize that he needs it. XOXO

SK okarche

Today wasn't so great! I can't wait to get home! miss you guys can't wait to tell my stories! Love you guys and thanks for praying for me!

I am really sad today was our last day in 'E' but it was a blast while it lasted. I am going to miss my team so much. They are awesome. see you all at home! tschuss!

CR- El Reio OK

Today was a slow day and I think everyone is tired and ready to head home. We played soccer in 'E' with boys again today and we also got to play soccer with some little turkish girls. Pray that God continues to work here in Cologne even if we are gone.

JW- Purcell OK

Today was our last day at our OTA in 'E'. Again our park was not very crowded and we didn't get to do much sowing. However, we have really developed a good relationship with four German boys. My prayer is that the positive impression of Americans we've left with those boys will one day open the door for someone to reap a harvest with them.

CR El Reno

Today we went back to our park. We played soccer with 3 of the boys that have been there. Pray that all the boys will be back tomorrow because it is our last day. Also I strained a tendon in my knee so please pray that I will heal. I miss and love you all.

MWW Claremore OK

That's goal in german :) I can't believe tomorrow will be the last day in the park :( i'll miss that place like crazy! Tschuss!!

JW- Purall OK

There weren't a lot of people in the park today. We played ball with our friends who've been here all week. We also prayed outside the park a little today. My prayer for our group is that the things we've learned here we'll transfer back to the states. I have fallen in love with Koln. I am supposed to be here permanently? I don't know, but God is defintely working in my life.

KS- Sand Springs OK

We are at a Turkish/Italian resturant ordering dinner. I just ordered broccoli pizza and I'm so excited to taste it!! We've had another great day! I feel like we've made some headway with the boys we've been talking to and playing soccer with. Tchuss! XOXO

LEF- Edmond OK

I don't have much to say. I am having so much fun. I miss home a lot and can't wait to get back to impress you with my German skills! I love you! Tschuss!

We are having a great time here! My team has grown very close. I miss everything is going well in the states! Love you family and snoop, chass, jo-jo and don! see everyone soon!

KCJW- Dewey OK

Well, I have decided to stay sorry mom, I'm not coming home!! Just kidding! Germany is absolutely amazing. There is no way on earth you can come into a culture like this so different from your own, and it not effect you. This country needs God and even if we didn't have a HUGE harvest, we have planted seeds and thats one step closer to true salvation. I love you ALL. Germany has been a blast. See you soon.

JW-Purcell, OK

Today was "reaping day." We got to the park and had SC and then prayer walked for about an hour. When they had a soccer match with some boys we met in the park yesterday. One of the m's from there in Essen came by and later in the afternoon he and I played cards with some Kosovar men. The group talked to the boys about Christ. We're supposed to play with the boys again tomorrow and also the Kosovars.

KS Sand Springs OK

Today was fun! We went to the park we've been going to all week in 'E' and we met up with the boys we played soccer with yesterday and played soccer again. It was fun! Love and miss ya'll. XOXO

CR-El Rezo, OK

Today was truly amazing! I got a chance to share God with this little boy named Justin. I think he understood as much as I said. He didn't make a decision but a seed has been sown. Please pray God would help it to grow. We have been able to play several kinds of sports with these boys, J, D, T, and T. Pray that this ministry will continue to grow as we are able to spread God's word and sow his seeds.

KCJW- Dewey OK

Today was absolutely amazing. I have made so many friends that I will never forget. Spending time with God and christians who REALLY care will change you and make you not want to do ANY thing to dishonor God. I feel my faith getting stronger everyday. Even though I miss it in the states, I could get used to this!! don't cry mom!...what can brown do for you?!?

BC

Today was awesome! We played soccer with the same boys. The oldest one Tim, who is almost 15 is very good at soccer. I bought us popsicles and we went for a walk. I was able to talk to him about what I believed. It was kind of hard because his english wasn't very good. We talked about mostly salvation. he understodd and he wants to talk about more tomorrow! Love you guys and miss you!

LEF-Edmond, OK

We met a man on the train and he was really nice. It was encouraging to have a conversation with someone who wanted to talk to us too. The park was fun. We met up with the boys to play soccer or football. It was so much fun. I love you Germany! I love you! Tchuss!

CMS Broken Arrow OK

hey mom, dad, and family I miss you guys like crazy! I'm at dinner getting ready to eat my turkish pizza. It's amazing! I'm wondering what your doing.

I'm really ok, I'm not just saying that! I love you all.
nina

KEG Durant OK

Today has seemed like a long day I'm pretty sleepy. The day has been good. The young boys were at the park today but the football boys weren't so that was a little discouraging but I'm still ready to go and very excited about the rest of the week! We are eating dinner and backstreet boys are playing! wow I love germany!

SK Okarche

Today was great! I miss all of you! Being here and seeing everything has changes me! Pray for me as I am praying for all of you! I have such a story to tell when i get home! :)

MWW- Claremore OK

Well...today was a pretty good day. We met up with our 4 soccer friends and played with them a while. Some of the team spoke to them about Christ, but they couldn't understand a difference between church and a relationship with Christ. Later on we played with some little German boys on the playground! Today for me at least, was a day of letting Christ's love shine! Oh almost forgot L and I witnessed to a man on the train and found out he was a youth minister.

BC

Hey! Today we went to Essen and we went to the park. We met three boys and played soccer and basketball. It was such a blast. We hung around them all day. CS and I gave them change and dollars. They loved it. We developed a relationship and that was our goal. One fo the boys spoke fairly good English, so that helped. I am learning German very quickly. It's great! We miss everyone back home. Love you Mom, Dad, and hte whole fam! TMBSOC!

JW-Purcell, OK

Today we got to our OTA at about 1:30 and we spent the first hour doing simple church and then we prayer walked for an hour. After that we walked the park and struck up conversations with people. In all we talked with about a dozen people. We only had one signifcant conversation with a man who spoke English. We played soccer with some kids and we've scheduled a re-match for tomorrow. We also threw an American football with some teenage guys. It was a very good day.

KS, Sand Springs, OK

Today was SO awesome! We met so many people from so many walks of life! I feel like God really showed His work today! We met 3 boys and played soccer with them. We made an appt. to meet them again at the same time! I am so excited about seeing them again and bulding a relationship.

SK Okarche, OK.

today we got to go to our location! I personally did not meet anyone, but it was awersome to see the others talking with people. It is the best feeling in the world to know that they are building relationships. I love you all and wish you could see this place.

MWW-Claremore, OK

Today we had an amazing time! I was really tired this morning, but after reading our chapters from Acts I was encouraged by the courage and strength of the disciples. Today we got to Essen on time. After prayer walking for an hour, we began just looking for people to talk to. We played soccer with some boys and then later talked and played with them for over an hour! Their coming back tomorrow!

KEG Durant OK

Today at the park was amazing! We played football and soccer and plan on meeting both again tomorrow! God has blessed us so much in this country. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else! I love you mommy :)

KCJW- Dewey OK

Today was awesome! I woke up a little tired, but it was all good. We went to the park in "E" and then played soccer with 3 german boys. We met a lot of others as well and we are on our way to some awesome relationships!! God is working in the lives of the people in "E" and I feel blessed to be apart of that!

CR El Reno, OK

Today was absolutly wonderful. My team went to our park and talked to about 12 different people. We were just making friends today but it was awesome. We played games with kids and football with some teenagers. I got to talk to a German lady even though she didnt speak english. I gave her some bread to feed the ducks with. He truly blessed our group today with all the people we got to talk to. Pray that He will allow us to plant seend in their hearts.

LEF-Edmond, OK

Today was incredible! We went out to the park to prayer walk and start building relationships. We met some kids and played soccer with them! They were so sweet. We set up a time to play again tomorrow. I also met some other kids and played "round robin" ping pong with a soccer ball. It was a blast. I am so excited to meet up with them tomorrow. I love and miss you all!!

LEF-Edmond, OK

Today was awesome even though we got lost and rode a train for five hours or so-it was good team bonding time! It is so pretty over here! I am having a great time, but I definitely miss home! Mom and dad-I hope you are having a great time in Costa Rica! I love you!

SK, Okarche, OK

Today, after getting off the 9 hour flight plane, we got to go explose the town of Cologne! I got the chance to climb all 500 steps to the top of the Koln Cathedral ( talk about a work out, but I got good pics!) Love you guys, keep praying for me!

MWW, Claremore, OK

Had a great day! Our ministry site in Essen. We got on the train and got a 5 hour ride out of it! We had a great time and grew as a team. Our ministry site was a residential park. We pr walked for an hour and we are riding back home now. Having a great time and learning a lot!

CMS-Broken Arrow, OK

So much to say, not much room. Roode my first train, double decker. View was amazing, got lost, went through so many cities. My group isn't working in Cologne, pray for the city of Essen and my team, we have an hour train ride everyday both ways. I love you mom! I'm doing ok, so stop worrying!

KS, Sand Springs, OK

Wow! Today was great! We went to a park in Essen to pr-walk! Although we had some train problems and only got to spend 20 minutes pr-walking when we were supposed to get like 5 hrs. It was still very moving to see the many different walks of life. I love you Mom & Dad, Brittany, Scott & Zane, Kodi & George, & Joey!

KCJW-Dewey, OK

WOW! Today was not what I thought it would be. I woke up still jet lagged, I found myself dozing often. My group left at 12:35 to take a train to Essen, little did we know it was the wrong one. We had been misinformed and instead of a l hour and 10 min train ride, it turned into a 4 hour one, because we rode the train till the end which wasn't supposed to be the end. OOOPS! The town we were at was Emmerich...no one knew where that was!! Our team had a lot of bonding, that was really good. I feel like we are closer than a lot of the others. God was working are closer than a lot of the others. God was working in us all today and even though we only got to pray for a short while, it was awesome. I love you mommy! Everyone else too! KORN!!

JW-Purcell, OK

Today we had some miscommunication on the trains and ended up in some town that no one had heard of. We back tracked and finally got to our site about five hours late. We will be working in Essen about 100 km north of Cologne. We prayer walked a park a little today. We'll be in the park all week. We learned a new German word. Corn is Korn, and there's lots of it.

CR-El Rezo, OK

Today was very interesting. We arrived at our site, Essen, about five hours late but that didn't stop God. I was still approached by a Muslim woman who offered me some bread to feed the ducks with. It was awesome! Also...CORN!

KEG, Durant

Well after a few setbacks we are finally in Cologne! The city is great! :). We are a little tired but ready to do God's work! I love all the soccer stuff from the world cup! And I have of course enjoyed getting to make new friends. I love you all! Please keep your prayers going! Danke!

J.W. Parcel, OK

Today we had our first day in Cologne. The city is incredible and is nothing like I thought it would be. The people are very friendly and helpful. The food is great and the city's architecture is really something to see. The transportation can get you anywhere in the city that you can't walk to.

CR - El Rezo, OK

It was very hard to walk around the city because I was so tired. I haven't slept in like 40 hours! I still expect God to do wonderful things while I'm here.

KS - Sand Springs, OK

Today has been an amazing day filled with adventure. It has been an eye-opening experience.

LEF-Edmond, OK

As tiring as today was and still is. I think it was very veneficial. We trudged through jet lag while walking all over Cologne and getting familiar with the city. It's beautiful here! I can't wait to see what God has in store!

Testing!!! :-D
