Outreach Locations

We have come to the time in the DTS when students hear about our outreach locations and they choose where they feel they should go.  The outreach location that I will be co-leading is to Cambodia and Thailand.  We also have teams going to Vanuatu and also to Indonesia.  We had tried to get an outreach team to go to Darwin, Australia to work with the Aboriginal people, but as of right now, the students are very hesitant to be part of that outreach.  As a base, we feel that we are in a location to effectively reach places like Australia for obvious reasons and also to reach Southeast Asia and the South Pacific Islands.  
I am very excited to be part of the team that goes to Cambodia and Thailand.  However, we have not told the students yet where they are going because we haven't been able to decide where to put them since no one wants to go to Darwin.  Please pray for the DTS students as they make decisions where to go.  Pray that they would be open to go where they are most needed.  Also, it is very hard on the leaders who have felt called to go to Darwin.  
It is a great privilege that we get to go to places like Cambodia and Thailand to work with people to show them God's love.  It can also be difficult at times so please pray for team unity starting now well before outreach.  Next week I will share with you a bit about what we will be doing there.
