Missionaries making missionaries

Missionaries making missionaries is the main theme in Pais. The idea of Pais is for us (Missionaries) going into schools in a local area working with the local church and making Missionaries out of the young people we meet in the schools.  It is an amazing concept and imagining it in real terms is amazing, this year just in Great Britain we have got 30 young people who are Missionaries working with Pais. If each of us connect with 5 young people and make them Missionaries in their schools starting and running CU's and amazing things like that then that is 150 Missionaries. If each of them help 5 more people become Missionaries thats 750 more young people and this just goes on. The idea is amazing and the practical aspect of it is so simple and amazing but doesn't come easy!
      So regular day for me at training with pais. we stay in a local church where all 35 young people and leaders sleep talk and just meet together. then we every morning take in in terns to go to the local swimming baths to have showers. once we have done that we aim to be at out host church (pais headquarters) The Life Church. So there we have 4 meetings throughout the day each an hour long and each very intense with topics such as 'fight for the heart of the King' 'judge and be judged 'traits of an excellent team' and 'rubbish in and rubbish out'  each of these are aimed to challenge us, make us thing, make us become closer and want to be closer to God and to help us train for this year preparing our hearts and mind for the upcoming tasks we are about to undertake. its such an amazing place, people who have a passion for God worshiping like theres no tomorrow in the morning and then pouring their hearts out in the sessions trying to encourage us to be great people for God in the time were spending this year together. One concept is that we cant teach others unless we ourselves are in the right place hence the 'rubbish in and rubbish out' session being so challenging for me with the main focus on Roman 7v15-22. and explored the fact 'sin controls us, not we control sin' so its about putting into your body and mind what you wouldn't mind giving out to other people.
     Its been such an exiting week and i cant wait for more from Pais, im not ready to get out there and go to the schools the week as been so encouraging so far and i hope and pray for more
