Oceans Calling

As I continue to learn how to make giving easy for those who want to be involved missions, I have found many options. While sharing more about my next 2 years in Australia, GiveSendGo was brought to my attention. It is similar to gofundme, but they have a special focus on Christian missions. I have launched a campaign through their sight and have added the Link in my "Give A Donation" tab  the top of my blog!! Check it out, such an easy way to give and see updates!! I am hoping to be in Australia within the next 3 weeks!I am so excited to be back in ministry and to see God move on the Gold Coast! Click to Visit my GiveSendGo Page!! Please be praying for me!! I still am in the process of getting Visa and Flights. God is good and He will be faithful to bring me where He has called me! Have a great weekend! Lindsey

As I prepare to move back to Australia once again, each week has what feels like new hurdles I have to jump over. "One thing" on my to-do list seems to have 15 bullet points underneath that must happen before that "one thing" can actually be crossed off. Reading government paperwork is like trying to read another language. When you are in a season of waiting, it can be easy to loose perspective.  I was listening to a teaching the other day about a perspective of victory. If God is God, and what He says is truth, we should be able to take on any situation with His promises being what we dwell on. If I begin with the end in mind, knowing God spoke certain things to me, I can focus on those things. When it feels like nothing is happening or the struggle seems overpowering, I live from a place of victory. What I will receive in faith through the process is greater then the intimidation of the enemy in the tension. It is easier to say then to actually apply, but Jesus

Something I am reminded of more and more every day is my need for Jesus. We all have our struggles and I have learned that when the world comes with all its hardship and questions, we have 2 options. Run towards Jesus or run away from Jesus. Now I do not want to downplay the struggles you may have faced. However, I know the truth that our circumstances do not define who God is and the devil would love to tell you differently. He would love for you to allow hardship to make you run, isolate yourself, loose hope and believe a lie about God. But God has shown me through walking through my own hardships, that I have a choice. I can choose to run towards God and ask for help and let him into my heart and situation. When I was in Mozambique, I received a lot of breakthrough in my life, but only after weeks of feeling overwhelmed and broken. I was waiting for God to answer my questions and facing many fears and lies. I had many situations where I wanted give up or to call it quits. My s

Hello!! While being home in Michigan I was able to share a bit of my journey with a local news paper!! I love my community here, and being able to share is such a privilege and a joy.

I hope you are all having a great start to the new year. For many I am sure you are working hard to focus on your new goals and resolutions for 2016. I am definitely trying to focus in and believe fully in what has called me to do! As many of you may know, I trust God to provide all of finances so I can continue to be a full time missionary. All I am doing is volunteer.

2016. Happy new year!! For many, January feels like a fresh start, a clean slate. People set new goals and are inspired to break bad habits and begin some good ones. I see a new year as an exciting time of wonder. I look back and am in awe of all that has happened. I am so thankful for my relationship with Jesus and the amazing people and places. I have been seeking God for what the next steps are for me and what 2016 would look like. While in Mozambique I found myself asking God many questions about my life in ministry and where He saw it going. He grew in my heart an even greater passion for seeing people encounter his presence and be transformed. Being in Pemba I saw in such a great way how God wants to bring freedom to individuals, but also communities and nations. He has also been growing my love for worship leading, song writing and discipleship. So what next for me? I am moving to Australia once again to Staff ywam Gold Coast's next School of Worship!!
