The 11th week is here and I’m proud to say that Peter Ilyn is here to speak. This week’s theme is the cross and Peter explains it beautifully. He is the best story teller and has the most epic tales!
Monday is always exciting, because that is the first time the students ever encounter their speaker for the week. First we had worship with the staff and afterwards did a Bible meditation on 1 Corinthians 13. Then in lecture Peter told us his family’s story about how faithful God is.
Tuesday comes along and an early morning prayer walk awaits us. It was followed by intersession for DTS financially and soon after class started. In class Peter talked about Gods way vs. our way. That night there was intercession on the homeless ministry and we prayed over certain individuals that come into our storefront.
Wednesday morning we had a two hour quiet time with God. Then there was class and Peter started teaching us about the cross. Dealing with the cross he talked about Old Testament sacrifices, different types of biblical justice, sin and death. After each student dispersed to their own ministry and enjoyed their day!
Thursday when we met up there was intercession for China again and also Pakistan. While in intercession we had worship and praised God. In class we tackled knowing your enemy and that God is always right. It is crucial for Christians to know in tragedies that occur through our life that God is always with you and in the midst of our trials to be well in our souls. After lecture was over next came the infamous food pantry on Thursday mornings.
Friday in the morning we had discussion time within our whole DTS and the students opened up to each other by telling them what God has been speaking to them about. Right after we interceded for people back at home who are domestic violence victims. In lecture Peter talked about genuine repentance, excuses for not making restitution and confession. Then he discussed different types of sins and they are secret, public or private sins. Later in the afternoon the small groups met up and at night there was hot chocolate ministry.
P.S. Did I mention we went bowling?
Holly!
