Olympic games

Our son Linus will very soon go to London and the Olympic games for a mission trip with YWAM. Many teenagers from all over the world will be going to do missions. This is Linus first real mission trip and it will be a great experience for a 18 years old guy. Please remember him in your prayers. We are praying for safety, guidance and that the mission will have a great Impact on him and that YWAM will have a great Impact on the games.. Many souls can be saved during the games and lets pray that it will be a peaceful event and that the sports and the relationships are the things we will remember God Bless you

He has his own room and can be there all alone but still, need to be "all alone" A time alone, solitude is very important. In Jesus life we can see that he did that rather often. Before Jesus chose the 12 disciples, Before he fed the 5000, In the wilderness in solitude with his father for 40 days. Solitude, a time with God.. Solitude is not about things you do , its about the things you don't do. What do you do when you are in solitude? Don't do things that ...
