Inspired Stop-Motion

Posted in 10_Prague by Kelsi Dawe on 8/13/2010

Before our jaunt to Moldova, we stopped in Prague, CZ for 10 days. There we worked with John and Kelsie Mullen (we worked with Kelsey Sage's team as well so there were three Kelsi's from Texas, all with different spellings) who lead Prague Christian Fellowship and started the International House of Prayer Prague. We loved our time there!

Unfortunately, we weren't able to stay for the English camps they run every year, but our stop-motion videos inspired them to make one of their own.

A message from Kelsie about the video-

"Hey Kelsi and team,
Just to let know that we just finished our English Camp and I was helping with the teens. Your films inspired me, so I invited my friend in Budapest to come and help us do a stop motion clip. He came the last 2 days and we quickly put something together, and it is short but awesome. The kids came up with the idea. I'll send it on as soon as he is finished editing it. It would not have happened without him b/c I had no idea how to use the program. Thanks for the inspiration. Best of all, many kids decided to become Christians. This is HUGE for us. Many of them have attended 5 or 6 of our previous camps. Maybe a World Race Team could help us with future English camps. Now, time to take a nap. : )
Blessings in the Ukraine.

Kelsie"

A Guitar, Frisbee, and Bag of Candy

Posted in 09- Romania by Kelsi Dawe on 6/18/2010

Check out this blog by Jordan McGuffin that gives a good picture of one of our days here in Romania.

*****************************************************************************************************************************

Posted in Romania by Jordan McGuffin on 6/16/2010

Five of us and a translator set out for ministry this afternoon (with short notice), and headed to a very, very small gypsy village. Our translator had mentioned something about music, so I grabbed the guitar on my way out the door. In the car, we realized we had a guitar, a Frisbee, and a bag of candy to work with.

This gypsy village wasn't very large, but fifteen to twenty kids came outside to hang out with us. We played on the single street going through this gypsy community. The first woman we talked to had two children, but her husband had left her for another woman. The house we played outside of was owned by a few women, who prostituted themselves for an income. The children of this village are very poor, and lack many needs and definitely wants.

We didn't come to this street to change their living conditions, we didn't come to preach at them, or even feed them, but what we did bring was love. Our LOVE today came in the form of a guitar. I played a song that I wrote, and worshipped from my heart on the side of the rode. A couple kids stood near, and said they liked the music, little did they know I was trying to bring Heaven closer to Earth. Our LOVE today also came in the

form of a frisbee. A couple people from team "Second Mile" spent quality time with some of the older kids, by teaching them how to throw a frisbee. For all we know, that was the first frisbee they have every thrown. Our LOVE today was tasty, as well. Each child got a few pieces of candy, which we were told is a real treat. These families do not have money, they have their farm crops and that's it. There is no buying of treats for kids.

We ended the day with an old fashioned game of "RED LIGHT GREEN LIGHT." These kids had a blast, and I know God is still replaying the track of their laughter over and over again. Lifestyle Christianity is just loving God and loving others. It doesn't take a plan and lots of money. It just takes your heartbeat and Gods' heartbeat colliding, and for us-- a guitar, a frisbee, and a bag of candy!

Freedom, Royalty, Destiny

Posted in 08- Nigeria by Kelsi Dawe on 6/5/2010

The last three nights we were in Calabar, Nigeria we were able to participate in a Youth Program (unmarried 20-30yr. olds) with the church. The purpose of the program was to allow the young people in church a forum to express their skills and talents in dramas, dancing, singing, and preaching, but was also more importantly focused on empowering the youth and firing them up for the work God has for them. My group went on Sunday and I was able to participate in a short drama, and a Q&A panel, as well as give a short 10 minute message, which I have posted below.

***************************************************************************

Tonight I will start in Esther 2:17

Now, here in this text, King Xerxes has dismissed his queen, Queen Vashti, for her disobedience and is looking for her replacement. As a young woman, Esther wins the favor of King Xerxes and in her youth she is made royalty and called to her destiny. Further on in Esther we learn that becasue of a series of events between Haman and Mordecai, Esther's uncle, King Xerxes issues a decree to have all the Jews killed. In this, Queen Esther has a chance to save the Jews, her own people. Now to do so would risk her life, for anyone that went into the inner court without being called would be put to death. Mordecai tells her that she was called into the kingdom for such a time as this. She was made royalty to fulfill her destiny. So, she risks her life, wins the favor of the king, and he grants her request, and the Jews are saved.

And this is a shadow of what God wants to do in your life, in this youthful time. As the King of Kings, Jesus came to establish His Kingdom on Earth.

1. He came to set you free. Romans 8:1,2 says, "For there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death." If you have Jesus in your life you are free tonight. Say that with me, "I am free."

If you do not have Jesus Christ, I have good news that God loves you, that Jesus died on the cross for you, and that He is calling you back into His courts tonight. If you would like to make the decision to accept Jesus as your savior, if you would bow your head and pray with me.

Say this again with me, "I am free."

2. And just as he came to set you free, Jesus came to make you a coheir in His Kingdom, making you royalty. In Jesus, you are free, you are no longer a slave to sin. You are a son, and thus God has made you an hear. 1 Peter 2:9 says "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of the darkness into light." He has made you royalty so that you may join in the sweet inheritance of peace, love, joy, and everlasting, abundant life. Say this with me, "I am royalty."

3. And just as Mordecai told Esther, I am telling you tonight that Jesus has brought you into his kingdom for such a time as this. God has a destiny for you. He has a specific plan, a specific job, a specific assignment on your life. He has people He wants you to talk to, to minister to, to pray for, to serve, and to share the love of God. You are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance. From 1 Peter 4:7 God wants us to love each other deeply, to offer hospitality, to use the gifts He has given us, to administer God's grace, and to speak His words. So, say this with me, "I have destiny."

In closing, this is the generational mandate that God wants you to live by. Will you stand with me and say this one more time. In Christ, I am Free. I am Royalty. I have Destiny. I'm going to change the world. Now is your time to shine. Thank you and God Bless.
