"Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms"
1 Peter 4:10
1 Peter 4:10
The bible simply calls us to spread the word of God. There is no one picture of this because God has given us all different gifts to spread his love to others. God has given me a passion for kids and a love for their hearts and I want to use this gift to glorify Him! I am so excited to pursue that desire and become a teacher but before that I want to know more about the creator of the world. Soooo..I am doing YWAM (Youth With A Mission). It is a 6 month program where for 3 months I will be living in Townsville, Australia with probably around 40 other people and learn more about Jesus! This includes topics such as Encountering God, Seeing Life from God's Perspective, Recognizeing Jesus as Lord, Becoming more like Jesus, Doing the Works of Jesus, and Orientation to YWAM. Also while living at the base in Townsville we get to be apart of a youth program for kids ages 12-17. This will happen on Saturday where we will put on events, games concerts and fun activities for the kids. Best of all we get to build relationships with them, be their friends and love on them! For the next 3 months it will be the outreach phase-location unknown-but we will be able to help those in need and spread the love of God to them. The base I will be going to has been doing a lot in Papa New Guinea so there is a chance that will be where our outreach will be. They had the opportunity to revamp a ship and turn it into a medical ship. They are currently out providing health care to people who need it. Pretty cool ya?! I will post a video about it so you can see more details! I feel so blessed that I get to be apart of this!!
As scary as this whole adventure is I am beyond excited to follow this calling into a place I have never been, with people I don't even know and totally 100% rely on the Lord. Today in this world we miss out on the chance to completely rely on God, in America we have a lot of what we need provided to us but it is all so false. God is the only one that has what we need and I am stoked to embark on all this with Him. It is coming up so fast but it is awesome to look back and think that I wanted to do YWAM 2 years ago and now in his own timing, God has brought the opportunity back around and worked everything out to make it happen! Financially I am still sweating bullets and praying hard because I still need around $2000 but then I take a second and look back on how much he has provided this summer and realize I have nothing to worry about!! Thank you to all of you who have supported me and been praying for me!! Our God is faithful and he has definitely shown me that this summer! 5 weeks until I leave!! WOW!
More updating to come!! http://www.ywamrto.org/ I am doing the October DTS program!
