Kings Kids!
This weekend was Kings Kids; which is basically a youth retreat. We had around 16 youth ranging from 12-17 who spent Friday night and Saturday morning here at the YWAM Base! Friday night Austin and Gareth gave the message on identity and purpose! We played Capture the Flag for the night game; which by the way was destructive! During the second game I was running after one of the girls to tag her.......and........well.........I sort of ran into her. We collided and I managed to slip underneath her so that she fell on me and not the rough concrete! At first I thought she had broke her arm and leg but then found out she had in fact landed on me and only had a few red marks. I only scraped up my knee......it felt good! Saturday we played more field games and watched a movie called The Butterfly Circus which I strongly encourage you to watch it!
Austin and I are still in need of $2,000 and with your support have paid $5,000 already. Our tickets have been purchased and we are leaving for Albania on December 12th! Keep praying and believing! Thank you for your support both financially and in prayer!
This week our speakers are from Brazil and the topic is Children At Risk. A child who has or is "at risk" of developing serious problems/disabilities in 5 key areas: Intellectually, Emotionally, Socially, Physically, & Spiritually. I will post more about Children At Risk later this week. For now keep us in your prayers and support us in any way you can!
Thank you and God bless!

Only 2 Days Left!!!
With your support, Austin and Are only $2,000 away from our $14,000 goal! We have had 10 days to raise $4,000, we have 2 days left and $2,000 left to raise! Last night was TAT (Team Albanian Tuesdays) we were informed that lodging in London has been confirmed! We will be staying with a church that is 30 minutes away from both the Embassy and the Airport. While in London we will be helping with the needs around the church there as well as assisting in the church program which helps both homeless and low-income families. Please continue to pray we receive conformation from the Albanian Embassy on our 90 day visa application ASAP! With God ALL things are possible! $2,000 is nothing to God! God has blessed us tremendously and I believe He will continue to provide for our every need, if we continue to serve Him in everything we do. Thank you for your support in our Mission Trip. Without you we would not be able to experience Gods blessing in this DTS! Would you prayerfully consider supporting us in our Mission Trip to Albania? We need $2,000 by Friday the 25th! May God bless you abundantly!

JEHOVAH RAPHA IS THE GOD OF HEALING!
I love pushing myself, although sometimes I'm not very fond of the results. Friday the 28th of October was a night I will remember forever! That Friday was Kings Kids, during one of the night games
I jumped off a roof and bruised my right heel, on top of that I then stepped on a ground-level water valve. My heal was nothing compared to what happened to my foot! I strained my Tibialis Anterior! It is the labeled muscle on the right at the very bottom of the picture. I smashed and I believe strained the section where it curves under the foot. At first it didn't feel too bad, until 10-15 minutes and it started throbbing. That night I was limping with a swollen foot, (imagine half a ping-pong ball protruding from the inner arch of your foot). Before bed I asked God to heal my foot so that I would be able to play games with the kids and enthusiastically engage in every activity. I fell asleep with a swollen, elevated, iced and throbbing foot. The next morning (about 4.5 hours later) I awoke and to my surprise it hurt even more! I could hardly twist or move both my ankle and foot! I managed to slip my shoes on and head to worship. I participated in worship to the best of my ability, trying to forget about my injury.
Honestly I cannot recall the exact moment, I just know it was sometime after worship when God healed my foot! I could walk, run and jump! The swelling had completely dissipated, and I could twist my ankle and foot as much as I wanted! I was so excited and happy for the healing He gave me! I know from past injuries and from feeling the pain and seeing the swelling of this injury that it was God and God alone that my foot was healed! JEHOVAH RAPHA IS THE GOD OF HEALING!
Please continue to pray for our outreach to Albania. We are getting closer to the departure date and are excitedly watching God answer our prayers!
May the Holy Spirit be with you always,

Prayer Request
Its now November 5th, 2011 and were in our 7th week of the lecture phase, where we have been learning a lot about biblical relationships, spiritual warfare and studying the word of God. Just recently us students lead a "kings kids camp" that YWAM puts on once a month, we were also the ones that planned, and orchestrated the entire weekend event. Which included cooking, games, small group as well as large group times, worship, and a work project. It was a great turn out, even though it was all put together last minute. We are very excited for the next "kings kids" which we will have fliers to hand out to kids and
parents throughout the neighborhood and parks. (Hoping for even more kids to come!)
Our outreach location has been moved to Albania following the Lord's prompting to the leaders here,while there we will be working with a people group known as "The Roma Gypsies" who don't really have a home country. We have also heard there are some Albanian villages in the hill country that have not been reached with the gospel as of yet and are praying we have the opportunity to make it to some of these villages. Would you please pray for our team as we are trying to get a 60 day visa into Albania instead of the 30 day that is normally given. Thanks for all your prayers and support! If there is anyway we can pray for you or your families please let us know by email at austin423nickel@yahoo.com or jordannicker77@yahoo.com

Spiritual Warfare and Spiritual Gifts!
Hello friends!
Our first outreach meeting was this last Thursday; during that meeting the specific outreach location was finalized. Upon completion of the Lecture Phase we will have a 2 month 5 part Outreach Phase. The first part, one week of Outreach here in Barbados. Second, fly to London for ten days; in London we will do local outreaches while waiting for Visas to process. At the present time we do not have a place to stay in London; if you know of a place we could potentially stay please don't hesitate to email me. We have faith and believe that this is Gods plan and He will provide. The third part of our outreach is in Albania (which is in southern Europe) we will stay in Albania for the 30 days we are allowed with our Visas. While in Albania we will do various outreach in numerous different ways. One of which I am looking forward to is traveling to remote mountain villages that have never heard the message of Jesus Christ! The fourth part of our outreach could be one of two things; we are planning on flying back to Barbados for another 7 days of outreach; although if we procrastinate and fail to leave Albania before our visa expires we will innevetibly have prison ministry for the foreseeable future! Don't worry, in Acts chapter 16 Paul and Silas were in prison praying and worshiping when suddenly a massive earthquake struck and the prison doors were opened! Remember that story, pray and God willing we will leave Albania on time. Upon our arrival back into Barbados we will have 7 more days of amazing outreach! The fifth and final part is 7 days of graduation and re-entry where we will reflect on the past 5 months of training and receive our YWAM Discipleship Training School Certificates of Completion.
I am ecstatic with energy, faith and boldness for both the outreach and the remainder of the lecture phase! I thank you all for your prayers and financial support, without your support Austin and I would still be in Klamath Falls! What I ask of you today is would you like to be a part of telling others about Jesus Christ? Through your prayer and financial support you will be a part of fulfilling the 'Great Commission' in Barbados, London an Albania where we will share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Together Austin and I need a total of $4,000. All we ask is that you prayerfully consider becoming one of our financial supporters. Please send me an email at jordannickel77@yahoo.com with any prayer requests! You can also send a check to 5189 Round Lake Rd, Klamath Falls, OR 97601 please make the checks payable to either Jordan or Austin Nickel with a memo of 'YWAM Missions' Thank you and God Bless!
