Homiletics and Worship (week 6)

Hallo =), my name is Lydia and I´m from Germany. I´m 19 years old and I finished high school last year. I have two lovely older sisters. Before I came to Pescara I lived in the north of Italy, Milan, for 10 months. I worked there as an aupair in a half German half Italian family. I took care of two kids and it was the first time that I lived away from home. I really enjoyed this time, but at first it was hard because I didn't speak the language and I didn't have any friends. I looked for Christians and started visiting YWAM base in Milan. They told me also about the DTS here in Pescara. I always wanted to do one and thought that could be a great possibility.

We had two topics this week. The first two days were about preaching by Giuseppe Restivo and the last three days were about worship by Beto Tavares. What was really significant for me was when Beto said that worshiping god is not about singing nice songs, but bringing us closer to God. It is special to praise God for who he is and to realize how huge he is. The amazing thing about praise is that he blesses us back when we do it, we give but we also receive.

Everyone is happy because tomorrow we have a day off so we´re looking forward to aaaaaaaaall the free time that is waiting for us =).

I think the next week will be a really exciting, spiritual warfare will be the subject, Beto will be teaching us once again. On friday we will have a special evening but the staff didn´t really say what will be happening, it seems to be HUGH SECRET!

I was blessed a lot yesterday ( and I think everyone who came with me was also blessed!!). We were for a one-day trip at Rome. It has been a dream of mine to visit this town, it is really an amazing city. I´m so happy that we were there yesterday. We had a good time exploring Rome. The only negative thing was that it rained the whole time. Rome is one of my favorite cities, it is so beautiful!

Oh, this is really important: our outreach location changed. We had the choice between South Africa and Ireland aaaaaaaaaaand weee are going toooooooooooooooo IRELAND!
