Hello everyone! First of all, I would like to say thank you to everyone who reads this blog, has prayed for me and has offered your financial support in this next season of my life.
Another thing is, and I constantly have to remind myself: God is good. He works everything for the good of those who love him. He is so committed to us and faithful that He sent his son to die, and He's coming again to rule the earth!
With that being said, I have to say that my plans changed. God's plans never changed, or will change, but my plans have changed. Originally I was going to meet the staff from YWAM in Tacoma, Washington and then do a recruiting road trip through Washington, Oregon and California. I just found out last night that will not be happening. At the same time, I still plan to go on staff with YWAM at the University of Nations. I still plan on going to Kona in February to start staff training for the April Call 2 All DTS.
The road trip getting canceled is due to my leaders, Aaron and Ronda Barker having a shortage of consistent monthly support. It is a very stretching time for them, and they will be very humble and honest to tell you that themselves. As they are going to be leading the school in April, it is completely necessary that they have an increase in monthly support, or they will not be able to lead to school. So I would just like to ask everyone that reads this to please pray that God's will be done! We know that He's good and will totally provide everything they need! Jesus said it so we're believing it!
I would also like to urge everyone who reads this to please seek the Lord about contributing to their support. Please don't feel any guilt or pressure to contribute, the key thing is just to ask God what to do and follow Him. I trust that He will guide you as you pray for my dear friends. If you would like to get to know them more and are interested in supporting them, please visit their blog at: aaronandronda.com. Thanks for praying!
An interesting thing about God is that when it seems like one door is being closed, another door is always being opened. For example: when Jesus died on the cross it looked like all hope was lost and all of his disciples basically gave up because their leader was dead! But the amazing thing is that God had that planned the whole time, for the sins of the world to be forgiven. And after dying, Jesus rose again and conquered death to give us new life in Him! That's the power of God!
With that being said, another opportunity has presented itself! I hope to go with my parents and members of Sisters Community Church to the nation of Haiti. I hope to leave January 7th and get back January 14th. If it works out, I'm sure it will be an amazing opportunity to partner with my parents in ministry, as well as continue to get God's heart for Haiti!
Please check back regularly, as I hope to keep everyone updated with whats happening, and thanks for praying!
