"God Encounter"
May 12, 2005
Larry & I have dreamed
of the opportunity to get into the school campuses here. About 4 months
ago we had a new lady attend our International Church, I went to dinner
with her and found out she was a teacher at the British School of Las
Palmas. I shared with her our desire and that we had a team coming the
first of May. Fay went directly the next morning to her headmaster and got
Larry an appointment to meet with him. The headmaster welcomed us to the
campus. Through this contact we met another Headmaster of a neighboring
school, Oakley College, who also allowed us to come in.
On Thursday, May 12, the
first 2 Assemblies were held. The RYI group, which stands for Reinvent
Your Identity, from the Masters Commission of Rockford, IL motivated these
students in self-esteem, selecting the right friends, making right choices
and believing in their purpose for living and that they had they ability
to go for their dreams. Under the leadership of Pastor Jeremy DeWeerdt,
kids/teens were challenged to make a life change. The students hung on to
every word the team spoke and the teachers were so excited about the
message we had to share. The school director, Mrs. Barbara, said it was
the first assembly they had ever had and that this had been the best thing
they had ever done for their students.
When we left we met the School Headmaster, Mr. Donat, who could not say
enough about the team and gave us an open invitation to his School anytime
we wanted to come, but not only to his school, Mr. Donat turned out to be
the President of the School Association, and gave us a platform for any
future ministry in the Schools in his association. What a miracle. What a
God ordained encounter! |
