Praise the Lord!

Ok, so if you haven't read my post before this one, read it first.

Tom came back...the realities of sleeping in the street in the winter in Amsterdam made him realize how good he has it at the Shelter. But seriously, we had a really great conversation, and he was able to share a bunch of the stuff going on in him right now and I prayed for him for a while and man, the Lord is good! Tom'll be here for a week more and he needs prayer so much...I don't know if he's actually possessed by a demon but it's like Satan is whispering in his ear and also sometimes his voice gets this creepy raspiness when he's cursing Christians, and he needs to be set free. But he came back to the light! and he admitted that he sees in us good things which are good things in general but he thinks they must be because we believe in the Bible and try to live it out. Amen! Living out the truth of the Word...what blessings God pours out on those around us!
Also tonight we had no one scheduled for Bible discussion due to lack of staff so Christina, Ryan and I along with a couple YWAMers and 3 guests/cleaner had one anyways. We sang a couple songs (thanks Jon) and then for our introduction I asked everyone to share their name, where they're from, and their best (or worst) scar story. Oh man, God totally used that! From miraculous healings and near death experiences we talked about how those scars remind us of God and his grace and protection. We also talked about Jesus and his scars which were for us...yeah, the discussion went on for quite a while and God was totally blessing us and giving us the right words, and we had a couple people fluent in Spanish to translate for the guests/cleaner and it was just good.
