He is Faithful even when we are Faithless.

Already in week 9 with 3 days left until we leave for first outreach!! Gosh this came so fast! This week we have been talking on Evangelism in lectures which is been my favorite week so far! God is giving me a passion for this and Im stoked on what he is teaching me! We are learning awesome tools on how to evangelize and just helping people meet God wherever they are at. It is so exciting. The past week I have been in constant prayer about all my finances being in, and working towards getting them all raised before first outreach. Last night was an amazing experience that is just complete revelation of Gods faithfulness! Our whole DTS had a ministry time of giving and being led to give what they all felt God was speaking them to give. In one hour our entire school needed for the last few peoples finances to raise $10,664, and God met that in that short amount of time! It was incredible and the most moving experience as God was stirring up hearts. Generosity is so contagious! God alone in that time gave me the exact amount of money for the rest of my outreach finances of $1,899.80! I was so overwhelmed with the generosity and love that God is going to provide when you are walking in His will and walking in obedience. I was speechless. My outreach team leaves on Saturday for Cairns, Australia for 3 weeks! I am really excited for this and can't wait to see what God is going to do. We will be speaking in schools, churches, youth groups, and just wherever the Spirit tells us to go. We have a lot of great ideas that we feel God has placed on our hearts for  going out and just telling people about Jesus. Please be in prayer for our team the next few weeks for safety, open opportunities, and also just for us to be obedient to what God is saying. This week has been super busy and especially for myself it has been difficult to get things done. Looking forward to just going out and doing Gods work.

I got the amazing opportunity to snorkel at the Great Barrier Reef! Awesome experience!

Camping in the Outback

Wow. What an incredible time it has been the last two weeks. SO much to talk about and so much can happen in that short amount of time. I think I need to break it down for each week. 

The first week we had lectures on Lordship and what exactly that means and looks like. This by far has probably been my favorite week and lecture. Mark Parker from New Zealand was our speaker and he was quiet the character. I learned a lot about following Jesus rather than following Christianity. I loved the comparisons he did with digging into some of the Old Testament and connecting with the New Testament. Crazy revelations! All I can really say is the Holy Spirit showed up and it was such a memorable experience. I wish I could explain in depth all that happens its just insanely ridiculous. I love every minute of it. I wish all my readers could grasp and understand the work that happens here I can’t wait to share with everyone when I go home! The second week we learned a lot about evangelism and listening to the voice of God to share with people about Christ. I personally loved learning about it! We got the opportunity to hear our leaders speak their testimonies which again was pretty sweet. I enjoyed the fresh outback air and solid walks with God daily with zero distractions. Camping consisted of camp fires, relationship bondings, a billion card games (including dutch blitz which is by far my new favorite game), worship, some rainy days, the beautiful open sky full of glorious stars, waterfalls and creeks, day hikes with my team, and just God showing up in some powerful ways. I also was baptized for the first time and it was great! One of my favorite moments on camping would be after our school watched How Great is Our God, and we all sat out by the camp fire just looking at the night sky and worshiping together while letting the entire galaxy sink in. Such a good time. It was so nice to get away. God really was showing me the past weeks what it truly looks like to offer ourselves and possessions at the cross, and give up so much to gain what He has for us. We talked about not going after the presence of God but going straight after God. It was incredible. Back at the base now and this weeks lectures are on Inductive Bible Study. So far so good! Leave for first outreach in about 10 days really excites me! We will be traveling to Cairns, Australia speaking in churches and youth groups, and speaking in schools along with anything else God leads us to. We will be speaking testimonies as well as some topics that we put together! This outreach will be three weeks long. Hopefully will have all my finances in by Friday for minor outreach as well at major outreach will be coming up a few weeks after we get back. I miss home and everyone very much! I can’t wait to share with everyone everything thats happened! Thanks for reading. Love and miss you all. Until next time... 

Be Blessed

The beautiful Gorge! 

Go, Go, Go

Sorry it has been awhile been super busy and on the go since coming back from an incredible camping trip! Will post details soon on the awesome experiences and how everything went! Its great to be back at base. Right now is a extreme faith building time as I am praying for the next two days for finances, and God to move mountains as my outreach finances are due. Praying for God to provide 2,500 before Friday. God is doing incredible things, and I am choosing to trust Him 100% in knowing this is His will for me, and He is SO much bigger, and can provide over abundantly more than I could ever ask for. Please send out a prayer if you get a chance to for Gods will in moving, and prayer for my outreach team as a couple of us are praying together to see the rest of our finances come in. Im so excited to share revelations and stories of proof that God is moving and showing up everywhere! Thanks to all you guys for reading and for your prayers! If your interested in helping with the rest of my finances I will post a link to where anyone can donate online on our bases website and putting my name as the recipient it will go into my outreach account! Thank you for praying for me!
