(WEEK 14 UPDATE November 6-12, 2011)
Hey Guys!
This past week as some of you might know me and my fellow DTS students were inCalifornia California
We spent our time speaking at different youth groups & colleges about our DTS’s (Compassion & Abolitionist), human trafficking, and our own personal testimonies (how God has changed our lives, and what we have gotten out of DTS.) It was incredible to meet so many awesome people, for lot of these it was their first time hearing about ‘YWAM’ or ‘DTS.’ It was awesome to see peoples reactions that there are options out there besides just the ‘white picket fence life.’
At one of these events where we were speaking, afterwards the leader of the youth group asked if we could take a few minutes and grab one of the students and pray for them. The young girl I was praying with was awesome, it was amazing how God used that situation not only to help her but to bless me so much through it as well. She was at the same point in her faith, that I was at for the majority of DTS. It was crazy for me to see how God redeemed my own story and struggling with what I believed, to be able to relate to her and help her with what she was going through.

Well, it is finally here! We leave for the city of
During these past few weeks I was quite fearful about going to be honest. The factor of finances and downright fear that I would be inadequate when it actually came to showing the love of Christ to these girls was getting to me. I have been so blessed to be here, and I began to say to myself everyday when I got up “God if it isn’t your will to send me on outreach…. Thank you anyway for what you have done!” While I was on the mobile tour, God provided all of my fees plus the finances that I needed to live off of while overseas! God has began changing my heart and breaking my heart all over again for Thailand, and I know the authority I have through Christ and I am beginning to get excited to go!

-God would continue to prepare my heart forThailand
-My Personal Health Problems: these past few weeks I have had really bad insomnia. Please pray that this goes away before I travel toThailand
-That we will build further in our friendships during this last week, before separating overseas
-That I would keep my focus during the ‘last push’ and week of classes.
Thank you all so much for your continued love & Support!
