It has been a month since I have started a DTS (Discipleship Training School) with YWAM (Youth With A Mission).
 I am so appreciative of all the support received in the past couple months as I prepared to leave and through my first month at school.

I'm so excited to share with you, my team and I will be serving in Thailand and Cambodia on outreach. I will be traveling to Thailand first (tentative leave date is December 6, 2014) and then we will be traveling to Cambodia, sometime later, by bus.  I'm unsure of how long I will be in each country but it is thought that we will be in Cambodia for a longer period of time.  I will return at the end of February and then we will have a time of debriefing with the other teams from my school. While on outreach, I will be working with YWAM bases in the areas we will be in.  I will be serving with my team reaching out to young girls.  We will be educating girls about trafficking, reaching out to girls who are being trafficked and working with girls who have been rescued from trafficking.

We will also be doing prayer walks on the streets where the girls work.  

So many of you have committed to pray for me while I am away,  I have really felt impacted by your prayers. Last week our team had the opportunity to go out on the streets of LA on Friday night and I was a little nervous.  As we went out, I felt complete peace.  I got to briefly talk with two girls, give them a gift bag and share with them they are loved and prayed for.  The gift bags are filled with nail polish, nail files, lip gloss, candy, and a handwritten note telling them that they are loved. 

There weren't very many girls out and our team was able to pass out four bags.  All of our teams are so thankful for your partnership in prayer. No one was scared or nervous and I believe it was because of everyone's prayers.  Thank you!

I am so thankful for the financial support I have received for my lecture phase.  Through much support, the balance for the lecture phase was met.

The cost of the outreach phase is looking to be around $4,100 per person and in the next week, we need to have our first $1,200 raised to book our plane tickets. 

I would love prayer for myself and my team as we prepare to leave, and that each of us will meet the balance needed.

If you would like to partner with me during the outreach phase, please see information below on how to send in your support through financial partnership. 

Again, I covet all the love and prayers.  They are carrying me through everyday.
