Going Places!!! :D

God is taking me places!!!

:)(:

Going down the path of His will :D

Hello everybody!!!!
(that includes people readying it off my blog and on facebook or if you are looking over someones shoulder:)

Your probably wondering what "Going Places" means from my stand point LOL!!! :D
This means that I am going to places in God's will for me and geographically in He's will. And I am super excited about it!!
God is taking into a place in Him were I have never dreamed of. He is show me sides of Him self that I would never of guess of and our relationship is getting hardcore deep.......... LOL!(the reason there are so many dots after that is because, there is more yet to come about that) He is taking me into a way deeper meaning of His name, His love and His power! MAN!! its AWESOME!
That is what I mean by "Going Places" and the other part is, when I said geographically that meant God has called me to do my internship in Kenya, Africa. Which I will be there for about 16 months starting in January 2010!!!! !!!WOW!!! Excitement is running through my body!!!

Then for this spring brake (which starts April 10th) God is wanting me to go to Nicaragua, to work with kids from the dump. YES!! I just said the dump, people down there live in dumps there houses are made out of garbage and they get food from there to eat. Gross isn't it, so we are going to be going down there to the dump and praying with them/for them and getting to know the people. Then later on that week we are going to take some kids out of the dump and going to put them in a day camp for a couple of days. We are going to be playing with them, do a little VBS (vacation bible school) and having lots of fun. We are going to present the Gospel, teaching them english and putting on skits/plays for them. We are going to go swimming with them and going down this kick butt water slide that pumps a lot of water. :D We are going to be doing this at a camp that is down there, that does things like this. :D

This week my parents are coming up from the ATL!!
I am so stoked about that they are going to coming on Wednesday and leaving Sunday.

Also happenin this week we are taking a class called Kingdom Like styles which is AMAZING! It talks about how we should live like we were in the Kingdom. It is soaked in God's knowledge, wisdom and love!!
It is such an amazing class and plus just for a little bonus Nita Styner is teaching it. MAN!!! Everybody should get to know her, she is full of wisdom and LOVES God to the utmost degree! :)(:

To night will be our next to last Out-Reach night at the University of Minnesota and God is doing so much through this Out-Reach! The reason I said that is two weeks ago 2-3 people got saved in the same night!!! Which is AMAZING!!! :)(:
I think that is it for now, from my neck of the woods!!!

Praying that every single person is having a fantastic week and may God reign down on y'all life like never before!!!

Peace Love and Jesus!!!!

Drew's News
Hello awesome people of the world!!
Welcome to Drew's News.
This is my blog entries that you will be getting at a weekly basis, hopefully. :D

Thank you so much for choosing to be a part of the life of Drew. LOL!

I am currently at college called Bethany College of Mission in Bloomington Minnesota training to be a missionary. Besides of sitting in class and going to chapel, right now in life we as a student body are doing an out-reach at the University of Minnesota. During this time God laid on my heart to do a Bus ministry, talking to people about God's word and talking with them about what they believe in. It has been an awesome time doing this and God has taught me a lot from using know believers to people that do believe. Every week is a surprise on what I get on the bus from talking to people. There is never a week that repeats itself, you can read my former blogs to here some stories.
The main conversation that had this pass week on the Bus was so incredible, I talk to a girl about "why do we have to "force" (is the word she used) the gospel on people? and why can't we just leave everybody alone to worship there own God, in there own way"? (She believes in coexistence=Meaning living in one accord and having peace between each other. Also means leaving each other alone in there own way on living and through that there is peace.) Those are the type of conversation that I get to have and I love it because it makes me dig into the word more. It also makes turn God and His wisdom, not on man's wisdom.
I just stated a new class this week on 1 Corinthians, and it is going to be awesome!!
When that is over we have spring brake and during that time I am going to Nicaragua in South America to be a camp councilor for kids that live in a really poor part on town. Which hang out at the local dump for fun and the reason they hang out at the dump is that they do not have money to go to school because you have to closed toe shows to go.
So we "we meaning people from school and people from Bethany Church" are going down there to set up a camp for a week to get them out of the dumps, give them shoes and to have an opportunity to present the Gospel. :)(: We are leaving April 10 to go down there so be prayer for us and the kids down there.

Thank y'all so much for listening to Drew's New!! :D
May y'all all have an awesome and spectacular week!!!
:))(((:
Peace Love and Jesus Drew Powell

This is me and my bros chillin at the Mall of America !!

Been long time!!

!!!Holla!!!
I was debating on what to blog about cuz it has been a long time sense I have blogged. I could blog about a lot but I wanted to blog the most important things! lol
But everything we do needs to be important by impacting the kingdom of God.

God is taking me through the book of Song of Solomon right now and it is flippin AWESOME, AMAZING, EXUBERANT, FANTASTIC, basically flat out INDESCRIBABLE!!!!
He is showing how His deep and embracing His love is!!!!
And I am not even out of Chapter 2! :D

The other thing I want to tell yall about is we as a college go up to the University of Minnesota every Monday night and do an Out-Reach there with a church there called So-Journ.
We as a college do different out-reaches to help reach different parts of the U of M (University of Minnesota) campus.
We do Out-Reaches like going to coffee houses and talk to people about God, going to different Muslim study groups and talking with them about what they believe in, going to a woman's pregnancy talking to women about abortion, International group where they meet with a group of of internationals each week and do some fun stuff, going and cleaning frat houses, healing group that goes to hospitals, there is a group that stays back and prays the whole time that we all out doing God's will, there is hot cocoa team that hands out hot cocoa and ask people to pray for people, there are people that go to an open mic night and share testimonies and poetry of God, and there is a bus group that goes on buses and talks to people about Christ, and I am probably missing some other out-reaches but I cannot think of them. LOL! :D
If I could ask yall to pray for the out-reach that God put on my heart to start which was the Bus out-reach. That everything will be His in this out-reach and none of it will be mine not even the idea was mine it was all His idea.
God has been doing through me for about 4 mouths I really want to know that it is not in my hands but His. :D
I can really give a testimony that it is God's and not mine. :D Its really exciting!!! We as a group "we" meaning the bus group have been riding the same bus for about 4 solid mounts almost 5 and our out-reach statement is Luke 10, which talks about going out in twos and finding people of peace. When you find those people you stay there you do not leave. :D On the route we are on we have found our people of peace one of my friends His name is Justin he made a great relationship with a person. Whose name is Stephani and she plays the violin, and its really funny because when we are not on the bus when we have like brakes for school or something like that or Justin is not there she ask question like 'Where are they?' it is like she expects us to on there. :D it is so awesome!!!:D
Another person that is a person of peace is... opp I forgot her name but oh well but she is a great person. We had a great conversation the last time on the bus about the class she is in right now and about what they talk about. She is in this sex and human class and in class that day they talk about how porn influences the world these days and is it really addicting or not. So that's what we talk about and we shared each others views on it. We both did not completely agree on everything. But we did not argue about any of it or get load we did it in a nice and respectable manor it was really quiet fun. :D We wont get into detail,
but if you would like to know more please give me a call I do not mind talking about. :D
Will that is what God has called me to do on Monday nights on U of M campus

Praise God!!! for His loving embrace!! :D

To day I got to talk to people from back home man that was a lot fun it was nice to see them :D
Praise God for skype no joke!!! :D
I got to see form cuz it was D-Now weekend and a bunch of the girls were staying at my house for the retreat. My mom loves hosting those things God gave her such a heart of hospitality its amazing. :D
Well that is what is going on in the life of Drew Powell!!

A Fun Winter DAY in a WInterWonderland "Narnia" :)

Allo There!!

Today was another little fun day at Bethany we had an awesome teaching of the book of Acts Tony Hedricks!!!! WOOOOOHHHH YA!!! He is an amazing guy.... You should join his facebook group. :D -its called "Dude I love Tony Hedrick"- He laid on the floor today just to make a point. He makes you think of the scripture at a whole different perspective. If you want his teachings I can skype them to you. :D

This is his blog I think and I am in the picture on it lol :D I am in the mid right. And this wedsite is his art work. :D http://www.flickr.com/photos/hedrickswatercolors/

Then today at work was the funniest thing ever...... you know how when you go into the bathroom your suspecting the same sex to be in there when you walk in there well, when I walk in there I was in for a real treat there was someone in there cleaning from cleaning crew and it was HISTORICAL!!! The only reason it was so funny was because its never happened and I was not expecting it lol!!!... So what did I do you ask? I propped the door open to the bathroom and we started to have a conversation about how weirdo/awkward this was and about the random stuff about life and how many people this person as walk in on in bathroom.

After work we had this thing called "WINTER WONDERLAND" it was a lot of fun the mentors threw it together for us and it was set up like Narnia. The mentors all dressed up like the charaters from the movie and it was really funny and good. They had skits and games and random prizes and I found out that I am the "MOST LIKELY TO PLAY THE UKELELE IN A SOUTHERN GOSPEL BAND!!!!" YAAAaaaa get that trash "that means a good thing" for those who dont know me. :)
Here are some piks :D
