A Bitter Sweet Goodbye

Thursday morning during a prayer and worship time one of my sweet students came to me in tears thanking me for my work and leadership in her school and explained how the course has changed her life. As she prayed for me I began to cry and reflect on the time I've spent working with the School of Biblical Studies Core Course.


I joined YWAM on staff primarily because of how the School of Biblical Studies Core Course changed my life. Prior to taking the course I knew very little about the Bible and less about it's Author. It has been an incredible blessing to work in the world of SBSCC's over the last 6 years. I can honestly say I am hungrier now to study the word now then when I first began. My plans were to stay working with the SBSCC for as long as anyone would let me but God had other plans and on July 3rd I will graduate 13 amazing students from the course and pass on the leadership of the school. I am so thankful for this season of my life. I have received so much more than I could have asked for.


Beginning in September Chris and I will begin working with the Discipleship Training School at YWAM Honolulu. We are making a 3 to 5 year commitment to leading this school. As we anticipate receiving this responsibility we are both humbled, excited and a little scarred. Humbled because God is trusting us with discipling dozens of young people each year. Excited because we get to work together in doing our part in seeing the gospel preached to every tongue tribe and nation. And scared because there are a million details and each new season requires more faith than the last.  Prayers are highly encouraged! 


We are planning to go to California this summer for a break and to visit family. Hopefully we will come back to Hawaii refreshed and ready to get to work in August. We still need provision for this trip so any contribution is very appreciated.  


THINGS TO PRAY FOR
*Unity and Grace for each other as we learn to lead together
*Finances to get to California and monthly supporters
*That the current DTS Staff will feel loved and protected through the transition of leadership
*Good passing off of leadership and vision for the SBSCC
