Thank you so much!
I just want to say thank you so much for all of your love and support. I am so thankful that God called me into the mission field, and I know that I could not do this without you. All of your prayers and support is what makes this possible. Please know that your role is SO important in everything that the Lord is doing here! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
“The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.”
Back in Kona!
I am so thankful to be back in my home base of YWAM Kona! God has already been moving so much, and I am so excited to tell you guys about it.
The majority of our efforts until October will be spent in staff and leadership training. This includes daily worship, prayer, bible training, and lectures from long term and local missionaries. I am so young and new in the world of missions, I fully realize the importance of being trained! I am so thankful to become more equipped in the word of God and learn how to be the most effective in the field!
Our crew had an outreach where we went and pulled weeds around town to serve our local community! It was so cool to be able to be the hands and feet of Jesus in a practical way!
SUMMER CAMP!
We just held our 4th annual summer camp here at our YWAM base! We had 500 high school and middle school aged students come, a large number of who were local from Hawaii! It was an AMAZING week filled with worship, fun, crazy games, so many tears, so many prayers, and seeing God move in so many students lives!
I was able to be a lead counselor in a room of 18 year olds! It was such an honor to be able to pour into these girls and see them fall in love with the Lord!!!
My students and I during games!
We had so many students come to know the Lord this week! We also trained and equipped students how to be missionaries in their home towns and high schools! There were over 70 students who felt led to start “Jesus Clubs” in their own schools. “Jesus Clubs” are simply a club at school that is devoted to reading the word, praying, and worshiping together! I am so excited to hear of all of the fruit that comes forth through these students obedience!
“Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity”
Looking Forward
In October, our Discipleship Training School will begin! We will have 150 students coming from all over the world!
Students will come to our base for three months (October-December) to be poured into, trained, and equipped in the Word of God and how to make God known throughout the world! The following three months (January- March) we will send outreach teams from our school to nations all over the world!
My role will be staffing this Discipleship Training School from the beginning to end! I will help lead and disciple a room of girls here at our base, organize events for the school, and serving all over to keep the school up and running. I will also be planning and leading an outreach! (I will be finding out the location very soon, and I am so excited to tell you guys where I will be going!!!)
I am so thankful to be able to travel the world, and spread the word of God wherever He sends me!
Support Raising
As you may know, I am a full-time missionary, and with that, comes along the fact that I am primarily support based financially by the local church. This means that people, or churches, who love the Lord and see the need for the Gospel to be spread around the nations, will give financially so that I am able to sustain myself and give my full efforts to ministry.
As I have been home, it has been such a blessing to continue building a team of donors and raising support so that I can continue in the mission field. I have been able to meet up with many people and share with them about what I do and how they can be apart what what the Lord is doing around the world!
Do you not know that those who are employed in the temple service get their food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in the sacrificial offerings? In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.
Prayer Request
God would continue to lead our staff crew during this season of training and preparing for our upcoming school!
All of the students returning home from camp, that God would provide people to disciple them, and they would continue in their passion for the Lord.
Our upcoming Discipleship Training School, that the Lord would be preparing the hearts of the students to be ready to receive all that the Lord has for them.
Thank you for partnering with me!!!
I am so honored and thankful for all of the love, prayers and support that you have given me in following this call in missions. I truly cannot do it without you. The Lord has been so faithful in providing and I know that He will continue to send provision.
My goal is to raise $1,500 in monthly support by July to finance housing, food, transportation, travel and other necessities. As of now I have 80% of this goal in monthly support. I would love to connect through text, email, phone or zoom call to share with you more if you feel led to help me reach this goal!
If you feel led to partner with me, this is a tax-deductible donation platform in which you can give.
