After 5 Weeks of Grace & Discipleship

Hello \ Goeie dag \ Bom dia \ Good day!

So much is happening!

I'm at the end of the fifth extremely busy and blessed week of my Troubadour DTS here at YWAM Worcester! It's refreshing to know I am at the right place at the right time, as the Lord is equipping me for missions and ministry. 

A word that keeps burning in my heart: God gives grace to the humble.

So much goodness and mercy follows me..

○ Daily powerful, wisdom-imparting and life-changing teachings by speakers whose lives alone draws one CLOSER TO JESUS.

○Outreaches and prayer with Team-Xtreme, GX International and Island Breeze during the Impact World Tour (IWT) here in Worcester and surrounding towns : life-changing Holy Spirit encounters and seeing so many people get saved, healed, delivered and restored. Jesus is the only HOPE.

 ○ Meeting many selfless and courageous people form all over the world with one aim in heart: TO KNOW GOD & TO MAKE HIM KNOWN.

○Daily work-duties where we get the opportunity to practice stewardship in cleaning and maintaining the YWAM premises and duties also includes cooking at times. Fun!

 

 ○ Mostly wonderful and sometimes challenging foods - from many foreign inspirations, as we regularly have people from over 30 different countries living here.

○ Life-changing encounters with Jesus in times of Worship, Prayer and Intercession, whether it's with the outside community, YWAM base community or just in our DTS class.

○ One-on-One: Every week we journal what we learn, experience, work through and face as part of processing and preserving what we receive during this precious time. Then i also have a One-on-One time with a leader - a time of sharing and praying which is always a very special experience.

○ The Troubadour Cafe : Our School Coffee Shop on Thursday nights after the community meeting with live music and delicious snacks we do to raise funds for our outreach.

○ Book reading and reporting: I read the powerful story of the first 20 plus years of YWAM in 'Is That Really You, God?' by Loren Cunningham - what a pleasure and inspiration to see the rich heritage where YWAM comes from.

○ Arts workshops: as we are preparing for our outreaches to touch people with God's love through the arts. 

○ OUTREACHES: We'll have 2 Outreach phases. The vision is to seek and save the lost, bringing them into their destiny: To be children of the living God.

We'll also work with the local churhes where we go, imparting what we have, equipping them in order to do evangelism and discipleship after we're gone. After much prayer in seeking direction from the Lord our destinations will be:

Johannesburg

 9 June - 16 July

UK (Spalding, Belfast, Edinburgh, Glasgow)

 17 July - 10 Sept

Please partner in prayer with me, that i would walk in God's perfect will! It's the only place i want to be!

Also consider partnering with me in this journey financially.

Praise the Lord, for He has already provided my schoolfees and outreach expences for the Johannesburg outreach!

Now i need a further approximate R15000 for the Outreach to UK.
