Another Countdown...

And the next countdown has begun....
12 days.

In just 12 days, life as I know it in YWAM will change. Lecture phase will have come to a complete, and outreach phase will begin. I can't believe in less than two weeks I will be in London. We have sent in our visa applications to the Indian embassy, gotten backpacks, purchased plane tickets, and seen finances come down.

That is one thing I am most excited to tell you about. For all 40 of us to go on outreach, we needed $160,000 by September 5. For about three weeks, we were meeting in our outreach groups at 6 AM to pray for a  final push for finances to subdue. God is so faithful, so of course we saw them come in. On the morning of September 5, as a base, we had a worship and intercession day to also push for finances.  There are other DTS's going on who also needed finances, and several base ministries going on outreach.

Well, on that night, we still needed $19,000 as a Music DTS. So here is what we did.... we all gathered in a room, had a time of worship, and then asked God to lay specific people on our hearts within our DTS to give finances to. In fifteen minutes, we saw $7,000 come in! We had a whiteboard with everyones name and amounts needed. We saw names whipped off the board, and other totals come down. Then, in another ten minutes, my leader announced "we are done," and whipped the board clean. Wait....what? We're done? WE'RE DONE! That is right, in twenty five minutes, we had $19,000 come in from our other DTS mates.... from missionaries to missionaries. What a testimony! God is SO faithful!

So for the most part, we are all ready to go. I still have no idea what we will be doing exactly on outreach, but apparently we find out tonight.

As for now, we still have to finish this week of lectures on Evangelism, and then next weeks on Relationships & Unity. Lectures have been SO great, and God continues to speak to me and minister to me in ways unimaginable.

On another note, there is a young married couple who has been apart of our DTS and were going to be on my outreach team, however, the wife's [Stephanie] dad, has taken a health turn for the worst and the two of them took off last night to go back home to Switzerland to be with family. They will however rejoin us for outreach in India, missing the London side of it. Please pray for total healing for her dad and for peace for the family.



Talk to you soon :)
