I'm baaa-aaack
I am officially back in the States.
How did I get here? The last calling I had was to Indonesia....nine years ago. After serving with YWAM overseas for 8 years, God surprised me.
Have you ever thought you had God figured out....only to be surprised? This was me. Last year, God began to stir something within me. Something that I resisted; something I knew was of God but I THOUGHT was just for prayer.
The stirring within me was a burden for America; specifically for the church.
I thought it was just to intercede for the church....for revival (which I did). The more I prayed, the heavier the burden became. As I served in Indonesia and fell more in love with the country, I found myself thinking "someone needs to raise up more Americans into missions". Because I knew God had called me to Indonesia, I resisted this thought.....many times. However, it kept coming back to me; each time a little stronger.
FINALLY I began to ask God the right question: "are You calling me back to America???".
It wasn't long before I got my answer: "Yes"
So, I obeyed.
Since June 7, I have returned to the States in answer to God's calling.
It was hard for me to leave a country I had prayed for and invested into for so long. But, I have said "good-bye" and have moved back.
At the moment, I am still in transition. To be honest, this is a journey I am taking one step at a time. I know God well enough to know He will lead me with every step.....until He leads me to where He wants me.
Here is what I know
#1
I will continue to work as a full-time missionary with YWAM
#2
I am to join a YWAM base somewhere in America
#3
I will help youth deepen their intimacy with God through Biblical understanding and experience. As a result, I hope to see more people go into church planting; both locally, nationally, and internationally.
Note
The expenses of living in America far exceed the expenses of living in Indonesia.
My monthly budget in Indonesia was $800/month
My monthly budget in America will approximately be $2000/month.
I am looking for 200 people who are willing to donate $10/month (tax-deductible).

I am so excited to see where you are going into YWAM in Americs. I wish you were local but I know you must go where the Lord is leading you. I am praying for you!!!! I can't wait to see what the Lord is leading you to do and where.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I can spare $10 per month for you for the first year. How do you want me to get it to you?
Good luck! I am praying for many to answer the call for $10 monthly.
With love for you and your work,
