From Africa to Texas to Colorado to Denmark

We are finally back and settled in Denmark after a lot of traveling. Our trip to Africa was amazing and one that we will not soon forget. We were privileged to see God working in many ways. I believe that the hearts of our students were changed forever and this trip will definitely leave a deep mark on their heart. We serve an awesome God! Me and a sweet little girl named "Happiness"

After 6 weeks in Africa we left for Texas. We got to spend 5 awesome weeks there with my family and friends. It was so good to be home and relax for a longer period of time. We spent a lot of time at the lake house and with my family. We felt very encouraged and energized to come back and start a new year in Denmark.

While we were in Texas we decided to take a little roadtrip up to Durango to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. It was a very good time. We went back and visited Blue Lake Ranch, where we got married. We also found some time to hike, kayak and just relax.So now we are back in Denmark and we have had a awesome start up with Euroclass and Teen Radical. We have a great bunch of new students at Euroclass this year. I am really looking forward to the rest of the year. Right now I'm teaching the Alpha Course and Communications. They are learning how to share their testimony in English. Martin is in school for the next 5 weeks so that he can get his bus drivers license. :) This way we will be able to take the Euroclass bus and drive our students all over Europe. It's going to open up a lot of opportunities, so we are excited about that.
Teen Radical is also going great. We have started a different schedule this year where we are meeting on Monday nights and eating together and then following that we have prayer, worship, teaching, etc. Then, on Thursday nights we open the club in the youth space Martin built and they can come and go as they please. We have a little cafe, games, activities, wii, and all that kind of fun stuff. The goal is to disciple them one on one and catch this crowd of young people who do not yet know Jesus.Thanks for all your prayers for us! We believe our life is all for Jesus and we are trying each day to share his love with teenagers in Denmark!

With love, Lynsey and Martin

On our way to Africa!

First of all, I will say I am officially the world's worst blogger! But this is worth another update!

We are on our way to Africa again! This time Martin and I will be leading a group of 9 teenagers to Kenya and Zambia for 6 weeks! We have a really sweet group of students who are excited to bring the message of Jesus!


Let me introduce our team...

Simone!
Kristian!

Tobias! Camilla!

Louise!

Julie! Johanna!Adam! And us!!

It's a really good, small group! The first two weeks of our trip we will spend in Nakuru, Kenya where we will be working with an organization called IAS, International Aids Service.
(www.ias.nu). We will be staying at a church called Filadelfia Church. It is a small community that has an orphanage and a Women's Crisis Center. We will be staying in the school where the orphans go each day. During our time in Kenya, we will be doing a lot of big events, going out into the communities and inviting people to come each night where we will be involved in helping with the locals whowill put on big concerts and events in order to share the gospel. During the day, we will be working in the schools and with the orphan children. We will also minister, pray and encourage those from the Women's Cirisis Center. In Kenya, we will be living right in the heart of a Kenyan community, so we will get to experience the real everyday life of the locals.

After that, we will fly to Ndola, Zambia where we will be for the next three weeks. We will be staying at Kaniki Bible College where Euroclass has a house there. During these three weeks we will work with three different ministries; Life line, School Mission and Kaniki Orphan Project. Lifeline is a project where we will take supplies and medical care to surrounding communities and minister to the people there. When we are working with School Mission we will be visiting 3 schools a day and making a 45-1 hour assembly where the students will use their drama, dancing and preaching, and then we will work with Kaniki Orphan Project the last week as well as doing practical building assignments for some local missionaries.

Our last week we will have a little vacation down in Livingstone, Zambia. We will stay right next to one of the 7 Wonders of the World, Victoria Falls. These days we will debrief the trip, Safari, bungi jump and relax.



Prayer Points:

• Please pray for our safety throughout all the traveling and time we spend in Africa.
• Pray for Martin and I as leaders to be always full of God's wisdom in decision making and leading our team.
  
• Pray against sickness
• Pray for the hearts of the students to be opened up and changed to be even more passionate for the heart of Jesus.
  
• Pray for the people we meet, that they would know the realness of the love of God.
  
• Pray for unity in our team, a family atmosphere.
  
• Pray that above all, God's name will be glorified in all we do.
  

Last, but not least...here is a Euroclass video from the last Africa trip so you can get an idea of what we will be doing.
