NINE DAYS!!!!! till i go back to Salem!!!
man..time flyyyssssss

its been a long time...but I WILL restart my blog this fall

but I'm just gonna start a little bit now.... :]

Always thinking in the dark
praying in the dark
dreaming in the dark
wake up my friend
to the bright light of day
Soak in the infinity of this moment
you have been blinded for far too long
Drink up this fresh cup of regeneration
Life is new
embrace this day
Christ had shined on you
so take His hand and run!
Run with all you've got
You're free so fly
with reckless abandon
this is your new chance at life
If you trip and you fall
get back up and spread those wings again
Getting stuck in a rut is a choice that you make
not a way of life to abuse
you choose
He gave you that choice
So don't dare break His heart
Let it all go and lose control
this life isn't really yours
Life isn't give and take.....

GOODBYE!!!!!

WELL, the time has come. I'm leaving tomorrow. Leavin the base no later then 2pm. Flight leaves at 6! I wont be blogging the first month of outreach, but I may be able to the 2nd month. This is SOOOO CRAZY!!!!!!!! ahhhhh!!!! can you believe this?!?!?! i hardly can!!!! gahhh!!! I'm finally living out God's call on my life and I'm finally doing what I have always wanted to do! I'm seriously a missionary now. This is crazy. I'm so stoked!!! wow! well, I just wanna thank all you faithful blog readers, and anybody who has given my blog even a moment of your time=] I love you and you are in my prayers. See you guys in two months! Always remember that God love you, no matter what you have done or who you are. His love for you is unfathomably deep and will never stop. NO MATTER WHAT. He will always be there for you, He will never let you go. If you dont have a relationship with God, if you don't know Him, and if your wondering why I talk about God like I do...give Him a chance. Ask Him to be the ruler of your life, give Him your time and your love. Let Him change you from the inside out, and rest in the joy and peace that comes from knowing Him. You can have a real relationship with the creator of the universe. THAT is amazing. THAT is worth living for. If you already have one...dont take it for granted, live each day for Him because He is worth it. HE IS WORTHY. Love Him with EVERYTHING you've got, give Him your all, dont underestimate Him, don't neglect Him for other things. Love Him on a level you never have before, seek after Him, get to know the depths of His character! Ask Him for a greater revelation of Himself! Live each day for Him!!!! I promise with all my heart you won't regret it. =]

With LOTS of love- Kristina K.

Last week

Last week our speaker was Carrie Manning. She talked about the character and nature of God and little bit on identity and destiny. Here are some of the main points from her lecture...
-To be effective in life and outreach you have to do it with God.
-Those who fear God, lack nothing.
-God is ALWAYS up to something.
-God may not always give you what you want, but you should want what you get.
-Where humility exists the enemy can't do anything.
-Connecting with God is primary, getting in secondary.
-Don't let your life pass you by while you wait for your dreams to be fulfilled. D o more then just exist.
-God's dreams will be fulfilled for you but you have to fulfill the stuff in the middle to get the end result.


So yeah,, I leave for outreach in 3 days!!! headin to Southeast Asia!!! Can't WAIT!!!!!
In thailand we are going to be working in a Burmese refugee camp, teaching english, doing open air ministry, going between Bangkok and Mae Sot, I'm sooooo excited!!!!!!!

My heart is bursting at the seems

This week our speaker has been Colleen Milstein. She currently works at a YWAM base in Switzerland, but she does alot of mission work in Africa. oh, and she's from South Africa. So basically...shes REALLY cool. haha. I'm gonna probably cover the main points of her lecture later. But in this blog I want to tell you about what God has been doing in my heart the past 2 weeks.
All of last week and this week God has been specifying His call on my life. Which is obviously really huge, but in that call He has been breaking my heart for the unreached. I know what I'm supposed to do with the rest of my life. And I can't wait to tell you guys a bit about it in this blog.
The concept of reaching the unreached, every tribe, every tounge, every nation has been the main thing that has captured my heart. But also serving God, and reaching the unreached because God is holy and He is worthy. Going to the suckiest places to preach the gospel is the LEAST I could do for Jesus. "Worthy is the lamb who was slain" has been the driving force of the past 2 weeks and I want it to be the driving force of my entire life. I don't know specifically what nations God will send me to throughout my life. I'm sure there will be many. But I know I'm more willing to go now then I've ever been. And I don't wanna go where everybody else is going! I wanna go where people have never even heard the name Jesus! And now I'm gonna give you guys some information on the unreached. The people I'm gonna be serving the rest of my life. Theres alot more to this call I'm not gonna talk about right now. But heres some things you need to know....

There are 16,000 people groups in the world. 9,500 have the gospel, 6,500 do not have the gospel.
A people group is any group of people that have in common language, race, and religion. A people group is not a nation.

The most unreached people in the world are in the 10/40 window which includes Asia, the middle east and northern Africa, and parts of Europe. 60% of the worlds people live in the 10/40 window. 3.2 billion people. About 80,000 of them die each day without hearing about Jesus.
Only 2% of missionaries go to the unreached. Thats insane! Only 2% go to 60% of the world!!! And those 60% are 110 more times more responsive to the gospel then any other part of the world. That 60% comprises the most neglected, least evangelized, and poorest people in the world.
This is the worlds biggest injustice!!!!!!! And it's not non believers commiting it. It's the church!!!!! Why arn't we going????
Is it because these places are the hardest to go to? yeah... thats part of it. They are they suckiest places weather wise, the most difficult to go to, and have the most demonic opression. So what? Is God not worthy of us going?? Of course He is! Is it about us? Or about Him? We are all called. Where is the church?
This is what God is calling me to. And I'm more then thrilled. I can't wait to talk to you all about it more =]
Lots of love to all my readers!! I really appreiate your care and love for me!!!
You are in my prayers!!1

last week...

our speaker was Fred Allen. He is a professor at George Fox University here in Oregon.
Oh, and to Paul Radford, Fred says hello =]
Anyways here are some of the main points from Fred's lecture. The whole he went through the 6 mission statements of Jesus.
-We can't reduce Jesus to a description
- The cost of following Jesus is everything but the call itself dying.
-We are never willing to give up EVERYTHING. but Jesus didn't beat around the bush. He said we have to give up everything. Yet we always ask God for exceptions, specifics, and to define "everything". Everything means everything.
-discipleship is being bound to the person that is Jesus AND His mission.
-if you're ashamed of the gospel and don't speak, nobody gets saved.
- If YOU don't go tell them about Jesus, they will never hear. if you don't go, then who will?!?!
