I need your help!

Where God is leading me...

As a part of my group of friends and family, I would like to share with you where God is leading me in this crazy season of life.

For years God has placed Youth with a Mission (YWAM) on my heart. I began prayerfully seeking the Lord on this last December. In the last four months God made it clear that He has something for me in Los Angelos, California. I have yet to find out what that something is, but for now I’m content in following and being obedient to the Lord’s voice.

History of Youth with a Mission...

YWAM was founded back in the 1950’s by a young man named Loren Cunningham. Loren always knew he had a calling to go and make disciples of all nations, but he didn’t know how serious this call was until he was in a hotel room in the Bahamas.

One afternoon Loren found himself in his room praying. As he was praying God gave him a clear vision. The vision was a map of the world and the map was covered with waves from the ocean. Soon the waves began turning into young people from all over the global church.

Now, about 60 years later the vision is being fulfilled. Thousands of people, young and old, are being commissioned every day.

What I would be doing...

YWAM is mainly comprised of two ministries. The first on is Discipleship Training School (DTS) and the second is Mission Builders’s (MB). I have the opportunity of being apart of Mission Builder’s.

During the months of May and June the mission base will have students from all over the world attending their School of Ministry Development. The months of June and July the base will be hosting youth groups and schools. This program is called Encounter4 Teens. It’s a two week program designed to get teens excited bout what God is doing in the nations. Teenagers also have the opportunity to go out and do service projects and outreach throughout greater Los Angeles.

So where do I fit into this?

I would have the opportunity to help the YWAM staff in training these students to go out and do ministry effectively. I would also have the amazing privilege of serving in any areas of the base that are most needed, such as, cooking, working at the coffee shop, working as a receptionist, and an amalgam of other things.

For many years I have felt the call to go into full time ministry somewhere in the world. This opportunity would not only be a season of growth, but it would give me the opportunity to get my feet wet in a mission agency, while also serving alongside amazing people who also have a heart to see the lost be found.

Financial Support

I have to raise about $400.

More importantly I would appreciate your prayers as I embark on this exciting journey.

Pray for God’ guidance and provision. Pray that His will be done in my life. Pray for protection and growth.

Thanks,
