Reflection: How God has used YWAM DP this past year

 

One of my favorite things about celebrating New Years is the opportunity to reflect on the past year and see what God has done. In January-February, I was with DP on the boats in Honduras, discipling students for future ministry. In March-July, I was back in Belize with the April school preparing them for their outreach to Guatemala. In July-September, I was in Guatemala working alongside a church in Fronteras and the YWAM base in Guatemala City. And from September-December, I was back on base in Belize with the September school. It has been amazing what God has done through DP this year: the children who have been loved, the people who have been fed, the prostitutes who were prayed for, etc. I feel so honored and blessed to be joining God with what He has been doing in these countries. It’s unbelievable to look back to the differenct places He has carried me physically and the spiritual growth that He has brought about in me. I can’t WAIT to see what He has planned for 2011!!

Kirsten: Embracing God’s Gifts

So I want to tell you a story about one of the girls in my small group for the September school. Kirsten stood out from the crowd from the very beginning and I was excited to get a chance to know her. The thing was that God had given her a strong leadership gifting and the gift of wisdom and an ability to disciple others. The problem was that Kirsten didn’t see her strengths; instead, she only saw her flaws. She couldn’t believe that God would use her to do something important for Him. As the three months passed, she slowly realized that, not only did God want to use her, He made her so that He could use her. I wanted to tell this story because I think that this a common lie that we listen to SO often. I know there have been many times that I have doubted my ability to do anything of worth but that is a lie from the pit of hell!!! God made us all uniquely capable for tasks that He sets before us and He can’t wait for us to embrace what He’s given us. We have faith in God but do we believe that He has faith in us?

 Thank you so much for you interest in my adventures and for your support!
