The 12th and Final Week: Evangelism

Well, I start off every almost every entry by saying our speaker was great. This week I'm typing it enthusiastically! I've made an amazing friend here, Katie from LA. We've been anticipating our speaker for week 12 together because.....it's her dad! Dave Gustaveson is the director of the YWAM Los Angelas, and he's amazing. We laughed, we cried, then we laughed until we cried. The topic was evangelism, and he squeezed it into 3 days of teaching and took time to celebrate Christmas and Boxing day with us. He covered a lot of ground, told tons of great stories about Peter Brownhill, our base founder, and of course his daughter. He encouraged us to live faithfully with what God has given us now: money, relationships, our opportunities to share the Gospel on outreach. etc. When we live faithfully today, God moves us into tomorrow and entrusts us with more responsibility. That's what life is all about!
