Jesus Walks

I leave in T-minus 3 days and counting, and will be in a extremely new and foreign Islamic country. I would by lying to say I'm not a bit scared, I'm nervous, but I am so excited. These next months are going to be such a time of growth and in a different and new way from how it has been during lecture phase. This is the time where I actually get to practice laying my hands on people and praying for healing, prophesying over them, encouraging, and loving on them...this is the time where I can love them like Jesus loves them. I have been in my own little house soaking up so much knowledge these past 3 months, with little ministry time, but now, it's all love all the time, and this excites me more then anything. Living how Jesus wants us to live.

This whole DTS experience is so much more then I ever expected. I didn't really know what I was in for and each week was a handful of new surprises. I have grown and learn immensely in these past 3 months, in ways I will cherish and live by for the rest of my life. I feel I have learned the way God wants me to be, I feel I have come to know the Father, Son and Holy Spirit on a new and intimate level. I have see friends come, and friends go, I have watched dolphins jump in the wild sea, I have loved on thee highest hippy, I have fed the poorest homeless people, and this is just the beginning. It continues tomorrow, next week, all DTS, when I come home, and the rest of my life. I came to Australia to see if I could find the plans God would have for my life, and He showed me them; He showed me why I wake up every morning, and why I live with so much passion and Joy. I am serving a GREAT KING, and He is going to move mountains, and help me out of valleys, and rest with me in soft pastures; He's been my constant companion this entire life and I am blessed.

Please keep me and the rest of my DTS in your prayers. Pray God will do many works through us and that many will come to Christ and that we will ALWAYS glorify God in all we do. Please continue to pray for income to come in for the rest of the team as well as there is still $3000AUS that still needs to be covered.

I Love you all who read this, and I will try to keep this updated while I am in Indonesia, but if not, I will see you all in August!

MUCH LOVE from down under! Tamarah!

Gotcha covered Tamara....but more importantly, He does. Kinda like a bird covers her babies, but better. (Sorry, had to throw that bird analogy in there.) Much blessing to you and your team...we'll be praying for people to cross your path whom God has already been preparing for you.
