So it's a few days before outreach and everything seems like its gone by so fast. It is week nine now and I only have thirteen more to go. For me, at least, time has flown by. This week of lectures are on spiritual warfare, taught by Dean Sherman. Dean has been in YWAM for forty-two years now and the funny thing is that he spoke on my Dad's DTS twenty-seven years ago on the exact same subject. It's funny how truth never grows old or never stops being true. It is a real blessing to listen to him speak and the value of the knowledge he has given me is unfathomable.
A new update on our minor outreach is that we will actually be leaving on Sunday now instead of Saturday, because they still need some people to help out with Youth Street. I'm really looking forward to these next three weeks seeing how all this training is going to come into play with people who don't know Jesus. Please pray for my team and I as we go out and do what God has asked of us.
Hope all of you are doing well.

Post camping
Hey Everyone,
Hope everyone is doing well. I have been extremely well. Got back last week form camping for two weeks in the bush. It was so awesome! Our DTS got heaps closer and God met us in the most incredible way. To put the icing on the cake, the scenery was breath taking; from the awesome gum trees that surrounded us, to the spectacular array of stars scattered across the dark sky and the gorge that was one of the most beautiful things that I have ever seen in person. How could we not become closer with God, he was everywhere we looked.
We have one more week of lectures then my team heads off for our first outreach. On this outreach myself and eight others will head to Mt. Isa and Palm Island to minister to the indigenous people of Australia. It's going to be an exciting time to see what God has in store for us, anything is going to be possible and I'm the passenger seat along for the ride.
I want to thank everyone who has prayed and support me along the way. Within the last few days I have received the rest of the money needed to pay for this outreach. I would like to sincerely thank all of you and a few of my fellow DTSers for making this happen. It is a very humbling position to be in and it's just amazing to see God work.
I should be able to get online and post blogs while I am out on minor outreach, but if not I will be sure to post once I get back with tons of pictures.
Love you all,
Nathan
