Here we go again

Well, the Lord has called me away once again! As many of you know in 2010 I spent six months in New Zealand/Thailand with YWAM doing missions, growing and learning more about the Lord. During that time I fell in love with missions, and with the vision of YWAM. So I’m very excited to share with everyone that I will be going back with YWAM, to their University of Nations, in Kona, Hawaii! There, I will be a part of the Early Childhood Education program. Through UofN, I will receive my ECE degree, and be able to go on and do missions in other countries, working with kids.
 I will be leaving on April 3rd, and will be in Kona for 12 months. Six months in class, then a six month internship at the pre-school on site. After that I will be headed to another country for 3 months of doing missions and working in a pre-school there. I won’t know what country until closer to the time. Working with kids, and especially less fortunate kids is something that is huge on my heart. I feel as though the Lord has gifted me to work with young children and placed a huge desire in my heart to show them love, and teach and take care of them.
This adventure is going to be an amazing, challenging and a faith testing time, and I will need your support. First and foremost, I need your prayers. I’m not going to be able to do any of this on my own. The Lord is my strength and my provider, and I need to trust in Him. Pray for growth, understanding, a greater ability to love as God loves, for health, safety, and for the Lord’s vision to be my vision. Next, I would ask you to pray whether or not the Lord has placed it on your heart to support me financially in this. Not everyone is called to give, and I’m not asking you to. I’m asking you to find out what the Lord wants from you; to give, how much, monthly, one time gift. He has it all crafted together to provide me the funds I need, because this is expensive, and I don’t have the money. Lucky for me, my God is bigger than money. So please be in prayer about that.
If you would like to give a cheque directly to me, and I can transfer it on to my account at UofN.

While I’m there I’m going to do my best to update this blog, or send monthly emails.

Thank you for taking this time to read about what is next for me, and for all your prayers and support. I greatly appreciate it.

In Christ,
