YWAM DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING SCHOOL/OUTREACH UPDATE – March 19, 2019



Each morning at 7am, we are required to wake up for breakfast and start devo/quiet times at 7:30-8:30am. Every day looks slightly different as we have intercession/book reading time/chapel talk/base worship. This DTS was NOTHING like I anticipated and we have not only participated in lectures but also are involved in weekly EVANGELISM and COMMUNITY OUTREACH. I have been working with an afterschool program once a week, helping kids with homework and doing chapel services.

Every Tuesday night we go out to the streets and tourist area of Waikiki beach in Honolulu, to evangelize (share about Jesus) with people. When I first went out, I was so scared of running up to random people and telling them about Jesus. Over the past 2 months I've been continually challenged to get outside of my comfort zone and to embrace rejection.

We continued walking a bit when a young guy caught my attention. I said that we need to go talk to him. Awkwardly turning around, we began to follow him. I decided to run up to him and asked him a few questions. I asked him a few questions (“Describe yourself in 3 words”, “What do you want to do before you die?” and “What do you think will happen after you die?”). It really led to a great discussion and I was amazed as to how evident it was that God was pursuing him! We gave him a few resources and prayed for him. I can't even explain everything that happened or the look on his face when we began sharing truth.

So many misunderstand what Christianity is and the simplicity of the gospel.
When you see a good movie or try a new restaurant you can't help but tell people about how good it is right? So why don't we feel the same about sharing about Jesus? This is good news!!

On March 31st, we are boarding a plane to Indonesia with a layover in Taiwan. There will be 2 other teams heading out; one to Cambodia/Thailand and another in the Philippines. We are heading to a Muslim nation and for safety reasons they have not been able to give us much information about what we will be doing once we arrive. Our team “Indolaysia” (Indonesia + Malaysia) has been preparing skits, dances, sermons and testimonies to share when we arrive there. We will be working with the YWAM bases in Bali, Indonesia as well as Penang, Malaysia. Even though things are unknown to us, God knows and we walk in that confidence! Please keep us in your prayers!!

Prayer Requests:

  1. Openness to be flexible
  2. Unity within our team – to grow closer to God as a family.
  3. Trust and faith in God through the ups and downs on outreach
  4. Good health

First Month at YWAM Honolulu!!

Shekinah House (Girl's House) It hasn't been a full month yet but it feels like I have been here for awhile! I arrived on Jan 9th and began orientation on the 10th. When I arrived on base I was brought to my living quarters which is Bunk beds a small house shared among 25 girls. We share 3 bathrooms, one fridge, a small common room and sleep on bunk beds. This has been the most people I have ever lived with in my life. Its very similar to what I imagine living in a college dorm is like but I never had that option in college. View of Manoa Valley The YWAM base is located in Manoa Valley in Honolulu and is near the University of Hawaii. Everyday we begin our day with breakfast and one hour of bible reading/journal quiet time with Jesus. This is very important and something that YWAM values highly! Starting each day with Jesus is the most important thing you can do. We have lectures throughout the week covering various topics. In our first week of lectures, we ...

Upside Down Kingdom

O ver the past 2.5 months since coming to Honolulu for DTS (Discipleship Training School) with YWAM, my life and perspective has changed radically. The theme coming into our DTS quarter is " All in. All for. All because of Jesus. "  The other day I was talking with my friend Anna, about all that I have been learning since I arrived in Hawaii but also some struggles I still have. It's not easy to put things into words, especially when you don't what you are feeling or why. I have been feeling anxious about the future and about going to Indonesia . I love the team that I'm apart of but I worry about what I will do once we come back. I am done with school so I won't be doing that like many other young people will be doing.  I don't have a place to call my own even though I do have family to stay with temporarily. I don't have a husband either so I am doing this alone. I feel as though I have been wandering through life alone and its hard at times, e...
