Support Letter!

            As many of you probably know, this past year I had the privilege of being a part of the organization called YWAM (Youth With A Mission). To give a general idea, the school that I was a part of is called “DTS,” which means “Discipleship Training School.” A DTS generally consists of two parts – lecture phase, which is four months, and outreach phase, which is two months. During lecture phase, we all met in a lecture hall and got to learn from various speakers and preachers from all over the world about different topics. For example, we learned about the “father heart of God,” “the character and nature of God,” “hearing God’s voice,” etc. That time was dedicated to building a foundation for us students in order to be able to reach out to other nations on the “outreach phase.” The main motto of YWAM is: “To know God and to then make Him known,” which fully sums up DTS as a whole – putting both lecture and outreach phase together. For my outreach phase, I went to Peru with a team of nine other people. To give a brief overview, we served at an orphanage in the jungle as well as Cusco, did service projects at local churches, and worked with a medical campaign for the local natives. Although outreach was difficult, I grew so much and the Lord taught me what it means to serve with a joyful heart.

            That being said, the staff members on my school were a huge part of my personal growth, which poured out into the ministry that I was a part of during outreach. At the YWAM Brisbane base, staff members are a part of a school as well, which is called “BLS” – Basic Leadership School. The name explains exactly what the school is all about. This is what I feel the Lord is calling me to be a part of this upcoming fall. A BLS has three phases: Phase one is six months of leading a DTS school (lecture and outreach). Next is Phase two, which is a logistical phase that is five months long, where I will serve on base and in the community. Phase three is six months of leading another DTS school (lecture and outreach).

            In order to get there, I need to raise $5,000. On top of that, I am in need of $600 per month – living expenses, school fees, etc. This money will mostly be going towards the outreach phases that I’ll lead. Because I’ll be on a student visa, I can’t work, so I will be relying on donations and fundraising. Above all, I would be so grateful for your prayer support, and if you are able to donate and feel led to, thank you so much! It’s going to be a time of daily relying on the Lord, which I know will be difficult, but so fruitful. Through it all, I’m excited and expectant for how God will use me to show love to others and to continue to grow in faith and love for Him.
