week 6 summer dts '09

Its week six and the students are learning about relationships. Whether there between them and another person, or them and God. There getting a deeper understanding of what God intended a true relationship to look like, and how we can redeem that in our own lives and help others with theirs. Only 6 more weeks till they all leave for Thailand. Some of them have all of there money in, but we are still waiting for a few more people to get all there funds in. It is truely amazing no matter what the situation, how the Lord provides every single time with all of these kids trying to raise all this money to go overseas. It is such a faith builder every time i hear a personal story. God is so good!!!!!!!

Summer School '09

It is now summer and school has just begun. we have 12 students and they are hungry for what the Lord has for them in this season of life. They just found out there outreach locations are Bangladesh/Thailand, and Indonesia/Malaysia. There are 8 on each team and they are really excited to hit the ground running.

My Transition

I have currently been on staff at Ywam Maui for one month, and i'm loving it. I work in the kitchen, cooking food for everyone on the base. It is so incredible to finally be back here and into the swing of things. There is about 50 people that live here on base, and it feels like one big giant family. Its crazy what happens when you put that many people in such a small space, all with the same passion for Jesus working towards the same goal of knowing him and making him known. It still doesn't completely feel like home yet. I feel like im doing my dts all over again, then in a few months im gonna go on outreach. Well, come the end of march, the teams that are preparing right now to go out to there respected countries are gonna be leaving, and I will not. Once that happens I feel like everything will finally set in, and it will feel like home. I know that God has a specific plan for me here, and i'm so excited to see what that is and how he's preparing me for it. He will make this place home for me. There are about 25 people here on staff, some that live on the base and some that don't. Alot of them are the same age as me, and some of them are much older. There are about 8 other people here from colorado, which is fun to remanisce about good times back there, and others from Canada, Thailand, England, China, Norway, Switzerland, and all over America. It is really neat to see so many different countries and cultures come together and interact and get to know each other. Where all here for one common purpose and thats to love Jesus, and love each other.
