Hey family, today I got the chance to speak to a man that was already a believer. It was so awesome. But this week was so hard. Like it was easy, but hard at like the same time. This was such an eye opener to me. And like I have something to tell daddy when I get home. It's awesome. Im like really excited. I read your card and Im so glad that youre anxious to tell me. lol. Not. Well Im anxious to all of you.

Today I really realized how the Lord uses small things and funny situations for His glory. I noticed the friendliness of the German people and how eager they are to ask about America. Even though we didn't get to talk on a spiritual level with anyone i beleive we sowed seeds adn our prayers were heard. God is an amazing God!

MD Idalou, TX

It rained most of the time we were at our park. The guys were in the cafe for a while as were a couple fo the girls. Four of us got to talk to a Jewish guy today. Keep praying for us. God has taught me a lot this week about obedience and how to do relational evangelism.

MK Rockwall, TX

Today it rained pretty hard the whole time but Father is awesome and let us talk to this one guy and we had a great convo. He was born in Boston, but grew up in Germany. He was also a soldier. We talked about world views, differences in culture, a bit of politics and religion. He use to be a practicing Jew, but has not beed practicing anymore. Paul is also my new hero. From the beginning he knew he was meant to suffer in order to spread the name of Christ and found Joy in that. What do I find joy in?

JB-West Colombia,TX

Today was the last day in the park:( It rained all day. But God did some amazing things. We talked to a Jewish guy from New York. A, M, and I were looking for a dry place to sit and talk and we ended up in a bathroom. While we were in there talking, the owner came in there and thought that we were smoking. When we tlod him we weren't, he invited us to drink hot chocolate. It was awesome!

TW Rockwall, TX

Today is the last official on site with Global Spectrum. (at least for now) I feel blessed that we got to be here & be a part of Gods ancient work over the past years here in Köln. We met this awesome guy today. He was born in America, grew up in Deutschland, as well as other interesting facts. Pray that Fathe opens his heart & eyes to the beauty of Christ. See you soon! Love you all!

TM Farmersville, TX

Today T and I had a great time having tea! Then K, T, L and I had a chance to talk to a new man! He was very open & I loved listening to him communicate with the others.

GR Idalou, TX

Today God showed up in an amazing way. I prayer walked all day in the wind and rain. I was able to have a deep conversation with my trek guys and they helped, along with God, figure out that I need to completely hand over my life. I will let Him decide on where Im going in the future and what Im doing. God works in amazing ways.

G.L.E. Whitehouse, TX

Street wise, purpose yes undterstand the city culture wise, but at the same time God started to reveal these people through not really engaging yet. But setting it up, these people need something. God needs something, praise from His people so the m lies ahead, make God famous to all types, and I mean all types. I accept it.

DC Village Mills

Today we got to walk around and get use to where we will be. We got in pretty early...but it was only like one hour time. A lot of people are jet lagged, but we will be better tomorrow.

AMP Clifton, TX

Today Father showed me that although the people in Cologne are very different, they are still people who need to be touched by the Spirit. The day went awesome and I think it opened a lot of our eyes to the diversity that surrounds this city. Father has showed me one of the first things to add to my prayer list and that is unifying the people through Christ because nothing could be more important than that.

MK Rockwall, TX

What the dil Pickles! We arrived safely this mornign and have spent the day experiencing the city. I look forward to meet some of these people. Eis is nice!

M.D. Idalou, TX

G.R. Idalon, TX

Wow! The time is finally here. God brought us on a plane overseas that I didnt sleep a wink on. I am already getting a taste for the culture and its people. I cant wait to find what work God has in store for me!

J.B. West Columbia, TX

Today at around 10:30am we got to Cologne with about one hour of sleep because of the seven hour time difference. We were sent on a trip to find Starbucks. On this trip I saw a lot of sights and got really great pictures. I discovred I love the culture and besides the language Germany is a lot like America. Now that a lot of my sightseeing is done I can focus on planting a seed of the gospel in people I meet.

EG Palo Pinto
