Hey everyone! I love updating you guys it has been awesome
being this consistent with it. I hope you enjoy my updates. Here is an update
on what has happened over the last few months!
Home
Last month I was in Maryland for a couple weeks to see
family and friends! I really enjoyed seeing all of you! Every time I go home my
heart really is refreshed. The unconditional love that comes from family and
friends is just so amazing. There were friends at home I never talk but when I
hung out with them it was like I never left! I really enjoy those relationships
I know that no matter how much time passes by I know I have friends a family
that will be there for me no matter what. Thank you all for showing such
amazing love and encouragement to me. When I went home I was in a tough spot,
but when I left. I left encouraged and ready for the next thing that God had
for me. Thank you! You guys are the best! I love you!
Speaking at launch
A few months ago a friend at the YWAM base that I work at
here in Honolulu challenged me to speak at an event we have here every Thursday
called launch. It is a meeting where we invite people from the community to
come to hear and learn about missions all over the world.
For the most part I don’t like speaking in public. Even the
very thought of it makes my hands sweaty. He asked me to speak last quarter and
at first I said yes, but my insecurities got the best of me and later on I said
no. I was very disappointed with
myself and sort of beat myself up for being so insecure about speaking at
Launch, but my friend challenged me again. I was still scared, but this time I
said yes and decided that it was good for me to step out. Leading up to the
event I was terrified that I would just sound stupid up there, I was nervous up
until they handed me the mic. Once they handed me the mic I felt this instant
peace, it was the craziest feeling. I just knew what I had to say and how to
say it. Speaking about missions was exactly what was on my heart and it just
flowed naturally.
For I learned a two things from that experience
1.
That God is so faithful to give us the words
that are on his heart at that right moment.
2.
That I am too comfortable.
I realized that day that I haven’t been pushing myself to do
things that make me uncomfortable with for a while. I believe as Christians we
should always be stepping out in faith. Not because we need to grow closer to God,
but because God wants to show us just what we were created to do and show us
how much he wants to use us to change the world. God doesn’t want fear or
insecurity to rule us. A son or daughter of the king doesn’t live in fear,
because we know that we belong to the one who gives all things.
School Of Missions and Evangelism
I was just recently handed the title “director” of the
School Of Missions and Evangelism. Which is crazy! I am so happy to be in this
position, but kind of scared because honestly I haven’t done anything like this
before, but just like speaking at launch I know God will lead the way.
We are trying to run a school in April, but we need a lot
more students! Pray that God will provide for us students! We have such a good
school planned. It is going to be great. We are in a place where we are
believing that we should run a school in April and We want to continues to
believe that.
God is trying to get me out of my comfort zone and believe
for the impossible for this school. My dream is to send out hundreds of
missionaries from our base to the least reached places of the world and I am
going to create with Gods help the best school to train missionaries I possibly
can. I believe that God wants to call out young people from all over to go out
and stay and change the environment around them with the love and power of
Christ. We can reach the world with the gospel not because we are spreading
another religion, but because Jesus is worthy of it, and it is the greatest
injustice in the world that people don’t know Jesus.
Here is how to pray for me
Pray that I can get students for the April school
Pray that I continually step out of my comfort zone and be
more bold.
Pray that God will use this ministry to send long term
missionaries to the field to reach the places that have never heard about
Jesus.
If you are wondering how you can join me in my quest to see
young people go out and reached the unreached of the world here is how.
