I wanted to let you all know that I am going to YWAM Newcastle as of January 12, 2010 for 22 weeks and need prayer and financial support. For those of you who do not know what YWAM is, it stands for youth with a mission and is a christian organization training youth in missions and ministry. (learn more at www.ywam.org)
One of the areas I need prayer and support in is financially. Since this is a mission based trip I am partially raising finances. Airfare to the school is not included in the tuition so I am paying for that as well as part of the tuition. Yet even after all the money I've been saving, I won't have enough for the outreach which I need to complete in order to receive my discipleship training certificate in ministries. I need to raise about $4,000 USD. When I look at that number it seems so overwhelming but I have faith God will provide.
I assure you I am working tirelessly in order to take care of my portion and to save. I just got done with all my travel immunizations (not so fun!) which were a bit pricey and recently got my passport and visa as well. I have to say it’s all worth it in my mind. I know in the state of our economy this isn't the ideal time for me to give up my job for six months but this isn't about my comfort, it’s about where God needs me and me responding in faith and obedience. It is definitely intimidating at times and stretching me, but I'm thankful for the opportunity to give it over to God and see the amazing things he'll bring out of this whole experience.
You are all connected to me somehow, and I wanted to share my news with all of you. While I'm in Australia I'll be posting video updates and pictures so everyone can stay updated on whats going on in my life. This group will be a base of communication between everyone and you can check here periodically for me to fill you in on this whole process. Love to you all! I wouldn't be here without everyone's support throughout my life. Thank you for doing life with me.
