all creation sings His name

Hey everyone! I'm sorry it has taken me this long to get a post up but my schedule has been quite full to the say the least. Anyways, I've been back here in Maui for 3 weeks now doing all kinds of things. For those of you who don't know, I am serving as D school staff right now. This means that I'll be leading a team to a very, very large country in Asia that looks like a delicious chicken on a map. This is the same country that I visited last year for my outreach. I feel extremely blessed and privileged to go back there and continue on some of the ministries that I had to leave behind last spring. We don't leave till the end of March, however. Right now we are in lecture phase so there is approximately eleven weeks of speakers that come in to talk on a variety of topics. This week the topic is "Hearing the voice of God". I think it's safe to say that the students have been blown away thus far by how easy it really is to hear God's voice and be intimate with Him. I'm really excited for the last couple days of lecture on this topic. Next week we have the opportunity to go to Kona (on the Big Island) to gather with the Oahu base and then of course the Kona D schools. I'm really excited for how the students will do there and just how much they grow and then of course I'm looking forward to how the Lord will speak to me in that time. Lately He's been speaking to me on fully submitting to Him and truly making Him the Lord of my life. It's been challenging and humbling for sure, but it's so good to be stretched and to see growth in my own life. 

I should probably talk a little bit about the students now. We have several nationalities represented in both the students and D school staff. There's a good handful of Canadians, Americans, a couple of Norwegians, a Finnish girl, a Swiss girl, and then a couple from South Africa that are leading a team to Indonesia. There's 28 students this quarter which is quite large for a winter quarter so the Lord has definitely blessed us in that. As I said before, I'm going to that big ol' Asian country and then we have teams going to Indo and Bangladesh. It is truly an anointed school. The students are really awesome and I'm so excited to see how they grow in this time and how much of an impact they're going to make both here in the islands, in Asia, and then at home. We're living in exciting times, friends. There is a lot happening all around us so take up your cross daily and follow wherever the Lord is leading you in this time. 

Here are a couple of things to pray about:

 -finances for students for outreach

 -continual guidance for me as I mentor others

 -that I can keep submitting myself to the Lord as He continues to work in my life

 -hearts to be softened in Asia as we prepare for outreach and that the Lord will just go before us in that

I think that's all for now! Thank you so much for reading this. Please remember that you're an extremely integral part in all that the Lord is doing here and abroad. I'm so thankful for the support that I do have at home or wherever you may be while you're reading this. You are all a huge blessing to me and I mean it when I say that none of this ministry can be fruitful without your prayer and support. So thank you so much and God bless! I'll try to get a new post up in a couple of weeks or so. 

In Christ,
