Week 1 of my YWAM Journey
The girls you see above are my roomies: Courtney, Maria, Christina, Jacqueline, Me, Sarah and Hannah. ^.^v
My YWAM program started last week. For those who dont know/remember, i am in Denver, Colorado. We've just been gettng to know the staff and each other in this past week. THE students and à few of the staff live here on base in à dormitory style environment. Im pretty sure my friends have started putting pictures up on Facebook. :)
They have a number of schools that run at the same time here. Total number of people running around the base here would easily add up to 100 at the moment. That includes the little kids of the married staff. Keep in mind there are other teams on outreach at the moment too :) The Discipleship Training School (DTS) that i am doing currently have a total of 60 people (students + staff). We will be splitting into 3 differrent groups for THE outreach. I am in THE Around THE World (ATW) team and we Will leave for our outreach trip Around 8 weeks earlier than the others, 1 team to South Africa and Mozambique, the other to the Phillipines.
Our outreach destinations have been confirmed but not concrete. Currently the plan Will be for us to go travel to Orange County, California as à whole YWAM base for an outreach ministry around THE middle of August. From there, THE ATW team Will travel down to Mexico while everyone else travel back to base in Denver. Im not entirely sure at this stage how many days we Will be spending on each country but after Mexico, we Will be going to: Hong Kong, Xi An (and maybe Beijing too) China, Thailand, Jordan, Israël, and Holland before returning back to Denver early November. :)
It's been àn amazing week getting to know THE group, learning about worship, intercession and relinquishing things for God. It is going to get more intense next week onward as we begin formally our lecture phase and our assessments begin to pile up ;)
Prayer Request:
1. For God to open my heart and ears to be sensitive to His voice and surrender to His will
2. For the grace & strength for me to be able to relinquish (put aside) the things that God has asked of me during this time
3. For to enlarge my capacity to just LOVE people the way Hè does without being judgemental
