The Crazy Journey Begins…
Hi everyone! Thanks so much for coming to my blog website and for supporting me! Many of you know what I am up to, but for those of you who don’t let me explain………
I felt the Lord leading me to Kona Hawaii to be on staff with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) for the upcoming April quarter, so I started walking by faith and God continued to make a way for me to come here! So I arrived in Kona about two weeks ago and have jumped on board with what God is doing here! I will be staffing a school called Discipleship Training school (DTS). A DTS is a school where people of all ages come to learn more about Jesus and the purpose and plans God has for them! There are different speakers each week that come from all over the world. The speakers teach on many different topics, such as: Hearing God’s voice, The power of the Holy Spirit, and The cross & Evangelism, to name a few.
I completed my DTS in 2004 and I also took a secondary school called Introduction to Biblical Counseling in 2006. DTS radically changed my life, and I am honored to be a part of what God wants to do in the lives of the students He is sending to us! I have been working in the DTS office processing and praying over applications of potential students, and I have been in the prayer room many hours a week getting the heart for what God is doing here and all over the world! I have also been doing community outreaches here in Kona, the base is involved with several community outreaches such as; feeding the poor in the community, and going out to actually get to know and pray for locals here.
This past Tuesday night a group of us went to downtown Kona for community outreach and God moved on the streets of Kona! A few of us had played volleyball at the local sand court a few nights before and had met some nice local girls. We saw them on community outreach night and started chatting with them. Before long we were praying for them and I felt God had a very simple thing He wanted one specific girl to know, so I said to her what I felt God wanted me to say- ” God wants to show off your heart”. She immediately began to cry! I continued to minister to her what I felt God speaking through me, and she received it! When the Holy Spirit is behind what you are saying, even the simplest statements can bring healing to a heart!
After we prayed for her we found out that her friend had a fractured ankle, so we were like- “Ok lets pray for your ankle”! So three of us laid hands on her ankle and began speaking life and God’s word over her ankle. After we were finished she said she felt it pop while we were praying, and another girl that was laying hands on her ankle felt it pop! So I asked her to test it out and see of it was healed! She put all of her weight on the ankle that was just fractured minutes before, and said that she didn’t feel any pain! Yay Jesus! I knew even more after that night of seeing people healed and restored by Jesus, that this is what we as Christians are made for! We are commissioned to bring God’s Kingdom to Earth! We were made to love God and be loved! We were made to show God’s love!
So here I am in Kona, completely getting wrecked (in a good way) by Jesus and His love! I cannot wait to get back out on the streets to show His love again! Staff training starts in March, and then the students will be arriving April 8th! Please be in prayer that we will get more staff, so far its just me and my leaders- John and Jenni Gillespie. We need a few more solid staff. Let me know if you know of anyone that has completed a DTS and that you think would be a asset to us and the students that are coming! I love you guys!
