I realized earlier today that this blog was created for my YWAM trip, but I haven't written anything about it on here yet. My apologies fellow blog readers! Here goes!
It's seriously only 5 weeks until I depart for America. That concept comes with a range of emotions: happiness, excitement, fear, nervousness etc. It will be such an adventure being back in the States and getting to know all the students and staff at the base in Madison. I just can't wait to learn more about God and grow in my faith, deal with my insecurities and share Jesus! Really looking forward to the outreach that we will be doing in the city of Madison before we do our main outreach in another country.
I've been trying to prepare for the trip by reading the Bible a lot, listening to uplifting music, and reading this book by KP Yohannan called "World Revolutions". In the book he speaks about being a missionary in Asia and how those in privileged countries don't grasp the concept of being a Christian and living that sort of life like Christians in third world countries do. I have to say, as much as I didn't want to think I wasn't living as I should have been, I agree with KP. He has some good points and I urge every Christian to read his book.
During my reading of the Bible, this section in 1 Chronicles 16 stood out to me "Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name, make known among the nations what He has done. Sing to Him, sing praise to Him; tell of all His wonderful acts. Glory in His Holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always." That's verses 8-11.
That is truly the mission!
I'm seeking God & fully believe that He will be with me through the entire course and will guide me. I know He has promised He will provide and as I'm reminded of the fact I still need half the course funds, I keep thinking of what He said to me. He has this all figured out.
More later! ♥
