TRANSCRIPT
director’s Kim & Martin about how Kim often would run after drag queens to tell them about Jesus! This blew my mind so much that I decided that I would
also attempt this!!
We didn’t have much time, it was pouring rain off & on but we went for it!! My friend Drew saw a guy who was walk-ing down the street & I knew this was the guy I needed to run after. So I took off after him!! Turns out his name is Christo-pher and he had been released from prison 3 days earlier! I have never seen anyone looking as petrified/lost/unsure/but hopeful all at the same time. You could see that he was
searching so much.
It was incredible to see God bless him as he realized some-one in my group had a rehabili-tation program at their church!! We exchanged contact info so that Drew will be able to keep up with him and meet with him
regularly to pray & disciple him!!
WE MADE IT!! God is great isn’t He?! I have successfully survived traveling throughout the US with 27 other people in 2 vans for 54 days, without
anyone going crazy!!
No but seriously it was an amazing time~the other 3 staff leaders & I were privileged to have an amazing group of stu-dents to lead us on this out-reach which took us to Los Angeles & many places in be-
tween the two coasts.
This is an outreach where the students actually lead so the staff; support, encourage, pray and guide them as they jump into leading sometimes for the
FIRST time!!
This outreach was a great time for me to renew my own pas-sion for evangelism. Some of the most impacting times of outreach for me where when I would literally stumble into
people…
While in New Orleans during Mardi Gras one night my friend Hannah wanted to get some-thing to drink so we went to the nearest Krystals. Inside two guys began to talk to us. Soon after our conversation began they were asking us what our purpose was for being at Mardi Gras?! I was able to share the entire gospel within minutes to a guy named Kurt. He shared with me how being in the cor-porate world makes it too diffi-cult to live a Christian life, as well as not being able to take the time to read the bible & interpret what it is saying. He allowed me to speak so much into his life & encourage him. I was able to see the Holy Spirit at work in his life!! Please con-tinue to keep Kurt in your
prayers.
Another moment that really impacted me during this trip was when I was in an area of Houston called Montrose. We had been briefed by the base
Around the United States of America in 54 days!!
New Endeavours... I arrived home from outreach unsure of what I would be doing next quarter!! The next quarter quickly approaching I was beginning to seek God on what I should be doing. God began speaking to me about taking on a greater responsibility & leadership around the base. As I was praying God boosted my passion & ex-
citement of schools to a higher level.
I was recently asked by our training direc-tor Dean if I would consider praying about LEADING our Spring Discipleship Training School. This was exactly what
the Lord had been speaking to me & preparing me for, for many months!! It is amazing how God has been using my experience here to prepare me for this leadership where I
will be challenged in a completely new way!
Please join me in prayer for this as I have also been asked to be part of our “Director’s Gathering” where our base direc-tor Michael will meet with a small group of upcoming lead-
ers on the base to invest in!!
As I am stepping into new leadership God has put it on my heart that I need to invest in a vehicle as I don’t own one. I have a need for more financial supporters to be able to stra-tegically plan for this. If this is something you would be inter-ested in partnering with me please contact me 407.962.8631

***********************
Thank you so much for your continued prayer & support to me over the years. As I am at the beginning of my third year on staff God has shown me His heart for His people. He has allowed me to be blessed to love each person who comes through here deeply & abundantly. It is a privi-lege for me to be able to serve with Youth With A Mission in Or-lando especially under the Godly council we have here. God has also shown me that HE is my absolute provider for everything but He uses the people in my life to show me His provision! So Thank You so much for partnering with me for the ministry the Lord has entrusted me with!!
