Hey everyone! So exciting news about our Outreach locations! Wanted to let you all know what they were and ask for prayer for me and my fellow mates as we seek God for discernment as to where we should be sent to for our outreach. We have two separate outreaches during the DTS. The first outreach is where our DTS is split up in teams, and we travel around different locations in Australia speaking in schools, doing school programs (since in Australia there is freedom to speak on Christianity and Christ), evangelism, doing church services, telling people about YWAM, and doing anything that the spirit leads us to do. They are 3 week long outreaches located in the Queensland region. This outreach will be around late March to beginning of April. The second outreach is our major outreach where we either go overseas for a missions trip, or stay in the Australian area, and travel around Australia to do missions work needed here. This one will be around the time from late April till early June. Here are the options:
Minor Outreach-
1. Cairns/ Taberlands area of Queensland
2. Charters Towers Region
3. Mount Isa
4. Gladstone/ Emerald Region (where a lot of the flood damage took place)
Major Outreach
1. Papa New Guinea (most of the missions work here will require to be physically fit as we will travel to remote villages)
2. East Timor/ Darwin (this outreach will be a lot of building houses, teaching english and some labor work)
3. Papa New Guinea (same area but this outreach will be a few weeks spent traveling the coast of PNG while living of our PNG medical ship. We will get to serve on the ship, stop in ports giving out primary health care service and learning about life on the ship. We will stop at locations and work in different areas going into villages and more details to come.. )
4. Australia Outreach (this outreach we will be traveling around the coastal cities of Australia doing Ausslife Seminars which is a curriculum we are still learning about. This outreach works with a lot of youth and we are training to run these Ausslife programs in the schools.)
The minor outreach above are linked with the major ones by number. So wherever we end up going for our minor outreach we will then be with the same team for our major one. (1 is linked with 1.. exc.)
There is a lot more detail that goes with each of the outreaches so once I know where I am going to I will learn a lot more about that outreach. We don't have final details about finances yet, but after praying about this for the rest of the week we will choose our top 3 and then go from there as to how they will be split up. I will keep it posted. Im asking for prayer as I am praying the rest of the week seeking to hear God's voice as to where His will is for me to go. Thanks for all the support and prayers. Im blessed with the support I have back home!
# 4 would be my first choice followed by # 3. I am so proud of you.
ReplyDeletePraying for discernment. No 4 sounds like a great opportunity to reach young people which I know is on your heart.
