Happy Resurrection Sunday! (Even if it is a week late.)
After much prayer and consideration, I have decided to begin a search for new church home. I did not spend time doing this when I first arrived, and I look at this as an opportunity to get a better view of the Body of Christ in this area. Please pray for wisdom and insight as I meet people and make connections, that I will learn more about this area and myself in the process.
We had our first staff in-service this Thursday! Life time YWAMer and long time friend of the base, Troy Sherman spoke to us his perspective on YWAM’s 50th year and the Jubilee celebration. Jubilee is a tradition from the Old Testament, where every 50th year all debts are forgiven, slaves are set free, and the land rests fallow for a year. With forgiveness comes the responsibility to learn and grow from our mistakes, and Troy urged us to consider how we can mature as individuals and an organization. One of the things that really stood out to me is how we steward our treasures…first how we invest the resources God has provided for us, and most importantly how we steward God’s most important treasure: the people He has entrusted to us.
The discipleship training school left for their two month outreach this morning. I am excited for them, as I have gotten to know them and invest in them through my involvement with the school in the first couple months of this year. Even though I myself had been planning to leave for Africa with the team today, I know that I am where I am supposed to be. Just as I myself am in a season of personal transformation, the base is also in a season of transformation. We don’t know yet what the end will be, but I feel that I am to be an integral part of what is unfolding.
Bless you this week! Please pray for:
- Personal growth in this season of seeking intimacy with God
- Clarity on the direction for my ministry in YWAM Pismo Beach
- Clarity for the base as we go deeper in God’s call for us
- Provision as I seek to expand my monthly financial support
