My name is Elise and I come from Brazil. I've lived in many different places, including Senegal, Kenya and Rwanda. I've been working with YWAM and the DTS for 10 years and I'm just getting back into the mission after a sabbatical year.
The time here in Pescara has been good. The place is gorgeous and all this beauty inspires me! I know it certainly inspires our students! Everyone has mentioned how the sea reminds them of God and the beauty of this place keeps us aware of him. This was part of the subject Fear of the Lord that we studied this week. Being aware of God at all times helps us to live our lives for him knowing our choices really matter.
Our teacher was Braden Matson - from New Zealand but living in Bari - translated by Lorenzo Montanaro. We had a great time and a lot of fun with them!
One of the coolest things this week was watching the video 'Indescribable' by Louie Giglio and it really impacted us all to see God's greatness and 'indescribability' in how he created the universe!
This coming week's teaching was supposed to be on spiritual warfare (monday- tuesday ) and evangelism for the rest of the week. But, we will need to shuffle things around because the teacher that was supposed to teach in the beginning of the week, on spiritual warfare, won't be able to come. His flights were cancelled because of the volcano eruption in Iceland. Kind of crazy to think about all these people stranded in airports all over the continent.
