God is our Provider

I am believing strong for over abundant provision. Two months are left until I leave for Hawaii. It is as it says "Everything is possible for those who believe", and I am believing. I have been getting those little reminders that God sends my way to encourage me to keep on believing.
Thanks everyone for your continued prayer and support!

Welcome - I want to share my heart and what the DTS is all about

Welcome to my YWAM blog!

this blog will keep you in the loop about my trip with YWAM. Please keep in touch with me, I'd love to hear from you!

I'd like to tell you a bit about the school and where my heart is at to start with.

I have long been passionate about prayer and worship. One day in 2006 as I was at work the Holy Spirit powerfully impressed upon me to start praying. I heard the words Pray, Pray, Pray over and over again. This was before I ever started to walk in a relationship with Him. I barely even knew God. That year I began to call on God and pursue him. I started to grow in my relatioship with Him as He placed the desire in me to learn to hear his voice. I remember lying in bed one night and asking God to teach me what His voice sounds like. I joined a women's church group that was studying Mark Virkler's study on How to hear the voice of God. That year I started having regular dreams at night and I would write them down to retain the message God was speaking to me.
It wasn't until May 2010 at Pentecost weekend that I was baptized with the Holy Spirit. This changed me forever. I had already been spending daily time with God, listening to Him, seeking after Him. But from the day I was baptized there has been a fire inside me that is only becoming more amazing with every season. I started to worship God and pray like never before. Words and songs would come out of my mouth that I had not planned to say, I started to 'know' things prophetically and speak in tongues.
I have had the most amazing year in worship and prayer, and growing closer to the Lord's heart and those of the people around me. I have also had a difficult year of spiritual cleansing and healing, yet the fruits coming out of that are eternal, they don't weaken but only make stronger.
In April of this year I dreamt one night that I was flying to Kona, Hawaii. In this dream God showed me a pictorama of what He was calling me into. At the time I had no clue what this dream was about, so I put it on the 'shelf'. But I couldn't get Hawaii out of my mind. I spent half the summer watching Hawaii documentaries to find out all about Hawaii. Yet I didn't know why. At the end of August I became very restless. I wanted to leave my job  and felt very unsatisfied. One day I talked with my mentor and she asked me when I was leaving my job. This started me thinking about what I really want. What do I want??
I could only think of one thing: Traveling for 6 months in a far away country, something adventurous...
My mentor had done a DTS in Hawaii sometime in the past. So I started to research my options at YWAM. When I heard about the Fire & Fragrance DTS in Hawaii I was so excited I felt like I had fallen out of my seat. Hawaii it was! It wasn't until a few weeks later that I rememberd the dream I had had in April. Confirmation.

I believe that in this coming season the Lord will pour out and equip and heal and restore. He will also launch me further into the calling He has placed on my life through this school. I don't exactly know what that calling looks like, but I know it involves all of what I will experience in the DTS.

The Fire & Fragrance DTS is divided into 2 segments. The first part is a 12 week training period called the 'Lecture phase' where we will be taught by mothers and fathers of prayer, worship / missions movements, as well as receive teaching and impartations, and extended times of worship every day. The second part is the 'Outreach phase' in which our teams will go to other nations and spread the Good News, where revival is birthed out of worship, prayer, and Christ centered community.
The cost for the first phase is $3995 and the cost for the second part $5000-6000. This seems like a lot of money for a DTS. The money will cover the entire stretch of training and outreach, including room and board and the flight into the nations. My first flight to Hawaii is not included in this.

How you can partner
I am seeking prayer partners who will pray with me for finances to come in before the end of December. I believe God will move mightily in response to your prayers and mine, all combined together. I know that I know that God is calling me to Hawaii as He has confirmed this to me not only in my spirit but through people as well.

I am also in need of financial supporters. While I am working hard to save up all the money I can, I will need extra help from you to get all the funds together. I encourage you to support me because you are investing in the Kingdom. I have such faith in the Lord to bring me there. Even though the trip is expensive He will provide abundantly.
