What Is Your Culture of Revival?

This week we hit the double digits of being here with Week 10! For class, we joined with School of Worship and WISE school (and doubled our class size) and our speaker was Tommy Green, the lead singer for the hardcore Christian band Sleeping Giant!

Tommy Green talked about a Culture of Revival. He had us write out what we would want to see in a culture of revival, then went more in depth of what that means, what a heart culture is many other things. One of my favorite things he covered was Sensational vs Significant. He talked about "sensational" in the Kingdom as something which elicits more of a "whoa" response, such as prophesy and healings. Significant would be things that change people, like someone being healed and their life being radically changed. He talked about how in the Kingdom of God, we should be seeking significance over sensational.

On Friday during small groups, we got to go to the Celestial Seasonings factory in Boulder! It was fun to learn that the mint that goes into their tea is actually grown in Oregon and Washington at the foot of the Cascades! We also got to try some delicious teas and go on a tour of the facility that makes all the tea distributed from Celestial Seasonings!

Friday afternoon, we got to spend at our YWAM Denver Eagle Rock campus. It is about 30 minutes from the Arvada Campus and it was beautiful! We got to see all the rooms and what the campus had to offer and I think most of us wished we had been able to attend our DTS there because it was so beautiful! For my Arizona friends, it reminded me a lot of Camp Pinerock- specifically the smell! It was good to be able to spend a last time with just our school before the ATW team left for outreach.

When we got back to base, a group of us watched Aladdin as a last hurrah before we woke up to say goodbye to the ATW team at 5 o'clock Saturday Morning. There were many tears, but there is such an anticipation for what they get to do over the next eleven weeks as they travel through Colombia, Turkey, India, Nepal, South Korea, and Mexico! They are an awesome group of world changers, Kingdom shapers, and freedom fighters and God is going to use them in amazing ways!

On Sunday, those of us who are left leave for Electric Mountain Lodge again, up in the mountains. A week of seclusion for our last week of teaching which will be taught by Peter Warren, YWAM Denver's director! I am excited to hear what he has to say about the fear of the Lord!

A continued thank you for all your prayers and support! In just 3 short weeks, my team and I leave on outreach for the Philippines! If you would like to specifically be praying for safety for the ATW team as well as my team as we are finishing preparations for our outreach.

Thank you and God bless!
