Hiking and Hearing

The past two weeks I have learned about God's character and nature as well as hearing his voice in my life. One great thing that YWAM emphasizes is relationship with God over religious devotion. We have started reading "Is That Really You God?" by Loren Cunningham, the founder of YWAM. We also have hiked up Ben Lomond and Queenstown Hill. We hosted an open worship night at a local church and were able to minister to a few people in Queenstown. This week we are starting lectures on spiritual warfare. I have gotten a heat rash on my hands which is a little uncomfortable but not a big problem. I would appreciate pray for that and prayer for God's continued protection of me and the other students. We will find out our outreach locations sometime this week, so I will send another update soon. Thanks for all the prayers and support. I miss you all.

During the first three months, I will learn more about God to be able draw closer to Him with fewer distractions while training to be a short-term missionary. Then, in the last 3 months, our class will be sent out to another country so that we can put into practice what we learn and share the gospel with others. This DTS usually sends their classes to Fiji, Papua New Guinee, or Indonesia. While I am unsure which of these countries I will go to yet, I will update you when I find out. I will depart on January 19th and return on June 22nd. I am thrilled to be able to spend half a year focusing on Jesus and obeying His command to share the gospel to the ends of the earth. I believe this is somet...
