Guutentag!!

I have been working with YWAM and living in a castle in Hurlach, Germany over the last 3 months.  My days are filled with training, Bible study, challenges and loads of growth. I love it here.

I am working through the language barriers, long hours and changing weather as I find my purpose in God. My surroundings are diverse with the Alps in the background and a quiet village outside Munich.

Each week we have a different speaker and I have learned a lot. The castle is filled with internationals and I share a dorm room with nine other girls. Our main food is bread and I have lost 20 pounds in two months (not by choice). Yet, all is good as I prepare for my next mission.

On December 14, I travel to Liberia, Africa to work on the mission field. I will be in a village with no transportation. I plan to only take my backpack since I will be buying my clothing there. I am moving from snowcapped mountains to a hot coastal climate.

Liberia has many needs.  The main ministry focus is sex trafficking and teen pregnancies. AIDS is a serious problem and children are assaulted. There are seven going from my DTS (Discipleship Training School). I will be ministering there for a little over two months.

Would you pray for me? Here are my requests:

  • Health
  • Funding. I need $2,000 in the next week.  I am hoping for 20 people to give $100 or more for my African mission. Click here for online donations and how to obtain my state-side postal address.
  • I need shots before Liberia. Please pray for no reactions and their cost.
  • For our work to be well received and lives changed.
  • Wisdom and discernment.
  • That I may hear His voice and obey.

I have been called to the nations. Thank you for helping me get there. Here are some links with more news from me and some audio clips of my first speaking assignment.  I hope it blesses you too.

Thank you for loving me and the Lord. Happy holidays to you. I will be spending Christmas and my birthday, January 11, in Africa. What a 19th birthday!

Auf Wiedersehen!!
