I’ve been living in eastern Germany for just over three weeks now and life is nothing short of radical. 

I flew into Prague, Czechia initially to meet up with my Kerusso team who had already been going strong for about a week. We were in Prague for four days attending Awakening Europe, which is an UNREAL Christian conference that’s sweeping the revival of Jesus as Lord ALL over Europe! 

There was epic worship and incredible Spirit-filled speakers such as Todd White, Brother Yun and Reinhard Bonnke. There were vast salvations, deliverances and healings at the conference and on the streets of Prague! In the afternoons, Awakening Europe split into groups and formed a city-wide outreach to Prague, sharing the fragrance of the Good News to backpackers, commuters on the metro, venders, buskers and anyone else Holy Spirit led us to speak with.

My group on the first day witnessed the Holy Spirit heal an older Czech lady with a bad knee with the laying of our hands. She was so shocked and excited, she threw a side her crutch in celebration and we all kissed and hugged and waved goodbye with pure joy in our hearts! Jesus is MOVING in Europe powerfully and it was absolutely extraordinary to partner with him in Prague during Awakening Europe! 

For the past 2.5 weeks, Kerusso has settled into lecture phase. We’ve had dynamic speakers proclaim the Truth in beautifully similar ways, and yet each speaker brings up new revelations and ways of knowing Jesus and the Father. It just goes to show how it’s One Spirit interceding and speaking Truth through whoever is available and obedient to proclaim it.

Last Saturday, Kerusso was in Dresden for local outreach. Dresden was part of East Germany during the communist rule, as was where I’m currently living. Atheistic generational cultural mindsets can create standoffishness and avoidsion when approached about the salvation Jesus gives to all who believe. But East German hearts and former communist nations are being transformed by the steadfast endurance of the Gospel! We saw HUNDREDS if not thousands of people come to accept Jesus Christ as Lord of their lives while Kerusso was in Czechia (which is believed to be the most atheistic country in Europe).

We choose to live by the promise of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit to break historical mindsets and cultural criticisms: “For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction; just as you know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.” – 1 Thessalonians 1:5. 

I am so unbelievably content and the Spirit has flooded me with unmovable peace ever since I made the decision to come to Kerusso at YWAM Herrnhut just over a month ago. Jesus has healed me from chronic anxiety, which crippled me throughout this year by simply obeying His call for me to be here! Aaaahhh I love Jesus!

Life with my Lord is always an extraordinary adventure. We’ve got four more weeks of lectures here at the castle until outreach! Our teams are headed to India, Nepal and Uganda. It’s confirmed that team Uganda (my team) is going to be serving in the refugee camps in the north of Uganda, bordering South Sudan. We as a team are so unbelievably excited to partner with the Father there! 

Continued prayer for peace, finances, and spiritual maturity and wisdom is very much appreciated, friends. Thankyou prayer warriors and financial sowers! You guys make this mission possible. 

Much love & joy,

Beth xx
