Fall 2017 Update

Fall 2017 Update

It's been a while, but here is an update for Fall 2017! It's been a busy year, but I'm enjoying every second of it!

This Spring, I graduated the School of Ministry Development. This was an amazing school, allowing me to learn and grow in my time here in YWAM and teachings I will lean on for the rest of my life. I've also made many friendships I will treasure forever! I also had opportunity to work in the Kitchen this spring and summer! It was so much fun to develop new skills and hang out with these good friends.

We went on a Staff Camping trip as a base! It was a lot of fun getting to connect with each staff member and grow this amazing community.

I've been crocheting again! It's such a great way to unwind and relax at the end of my day. A popular item with the students are beanies! It's been fun to see my projects all around the base.  If you want to see more of my recent projects, check out my crocheting Instagram!

What's Next?  I am so excited to announce that I will once again be staffing the Compassion Discipleship Training School this January! I am so excited to partner with the school's leaders to disciple students as well as lead an overseas outreach this summer! (More details to come!!!) Prayer Requests Please partner with me in prayer over these next few months as my team and I get ready to staff this school.  For our staff team: -Javie and Christie (School Leaders) are starting the planning process for the school. Please pray for wisdom, peace and rest over the next few months as they start to get ready for this school. -Christine is home in Switzerland to renew her visa. Please pray for favor and a quick overall process! -Max is home as well (Long Beach) recovering from knee surgery. He is doing physical therapy, but hopes to return to the base in the beginning of December. -Also, please be praying for the students who are planning on coming in January and for the rest of the YWAM LA base. The Winter quarter is pretty busy with the schools that are running and not as many staff on base. This is usually one of our slow quarters, but we are being blessed with the number of students who plan to join us in January, so many of the base staff are put on multiple jobs throughout this time to ensure the base runs smoothly. Most of the YWAM LA staff are on outreach from the previous quarter, so there are even fewer people than normal. Personal Prayers: -Transition is happening like crazy for me, both for my family and here on base. -Prayer in preparation for this next school. I am so excited to lead my first outreach, but I am also nervous since it is my first time! Please be praying as we plan and decided where this outreach will take place.

Would you like to support me financially? My goal is to continue to raise $500 a month. This helps cover staff fees to the base and miscellaneous costs throughout the month.
