While being in Ireland with OM, it's such a great experience to immerse yourself in the culture of all nations. We have people here from the Middle East, Asia, South America, and Europe. One of the other girls pointed out that "this is kind of what heaven will be like." All believers from all nations coming together for one purpose - to serve and worship God.
Our group was assigned to put together this month's "prayer emphasis day." On this day, you chose a main theme and pray for that. We chose to do "The Youth of Nations." Today we started the morning session and it went well. We had praise songs and talked about the nonbelieving youth in Ireland who drink away their depression or commit suicide and we had a time of prayer for them. We also prayed for the believing youth who are severely outnumbered here - and we prayed for their strength. Our theme verse is: 1 Timothy 4:12, "Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech in life in love in faith and in purity." I had the opportunity to talk about Rachel Joy Scott, a girl I did a speech on once who was shot at Columbine High School in 1999. I talked about how she lived a 1 Tim. 4:12 life and how we need to pray for youth to be as bold for Christ as she was. It was such a great experience.
The evening program starts tonight and all of the Immersion members are going to give specific prayer requests for their home nations. It should be a neat time. I love how the entire team only found out we were putting this on three days ago and have worked together so well!
