Oceans Calling

Team Australia/England/Norway Hey Everyone!! I haven't updated my page here as much as I update my Facebook page, but a lot has happened in the last month. The lecture phase of the DTS came to a finish with a final project week and also a lot of outreach prep. Outreach teams are beginning to leave for their locations. Our Sports DTS has teams currently in Brazil for the world cup, and also a team in Scotland. Our MAD DTS had a team leave this weekend who are traveling around Australia to country towns and costal cities to share God's love. Our team was planning on leaving this coming week, but because of finances we are waiting another week before heading to England and Norway. While here we will serve more locally and hopefully go into schools, prep for Global Outreach Day on the 14th, and other things. Please be praying for our teams finances! I still personally need $500 this week and as a team we are still in need $7,500. We plan on leaving next weekend! We are going ...

Gree tings from YWAM Brisbane, Australia! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter and were able to celebrate God’s amazing victory and goodness. Over Easter our base, along with many others contributed around 200 young people to volunteer at Easterfest this year. Easterfest is a huge Christian Music Festival here in Australia in which is dedicated to reaching out with the truth of the gospel and Easter message. I was able to pray for so many amazing people over the Easter weekend, it was amazing! Some people were looking into doing a DTS and I was able to share my testimony with them. Other people were struggling with eating disorders, illness, past abuse, suicide and other things. To speak God’s truth into all those situations makes being here such a blessing and gift. As we keep getting closer and closer to June and overseas outreach time, I have a few updates on the process and some prayer requests. My Co-leader Nick and I are leading a team to England and Norway for 8 weeks. I...

Teaching on the DTS about Spiritual Disciplines 

Hello from Australia!! The last month has been incredible. God has been doing so much in and through our Y WAM Base here in Brisbane and in my life personally. Our Discipleship Training Schools that began in February are already almost halfway through their lecture phase and know their outreach locations and teams. We are sending teams to Peru, Malaysia, Brazil, Scotland, Russia, India, Saipan and Guam, around Australia, and I am Co-leading a team to England. So there is a lot of preparation happening at this time with finding contacts, making budgets and getting to know our teams, but God is working in great ways! A few weeks ago my school road tripped to New Castle, Australia, for a week long evangelism conference called Circuit Riders. Other bases from around Australia also made the trek and we all came together to learn more about God’s heart for the lost. We discovered how we can live a life of joyful repentance, with hearts that will never take offense, intimacy with God...

Hey Everybody!! Welcome to the month of March. I can't believe we are here already. The last month has flown by and has brought many challenges but also so much hope. As a YWAM Base we are continuously moving and growing. In the last month we sent outreach teams to various locations and also graduated a Discipleship Training School and commissioned them on home. We have stood together and prayed for places like Syria, Ukraine, and North Korea. Our Production Company has almost completed their first full length feature film called "The Umbrella", and 3 new DTSs have begun. a DTS, or a Discipleship Training School, is a 6 month program where people from all around the world come and live in community and pursue God together. They have 3 months of lectures and then 3 months or local and global Outreach. Mid February began the Beach 2 Bush DTS, which is a traveling school who focuses on serving country towns and beach towns. 2nd is the Sports DTS which focuses on using Spor...

Hello Beautiful People. So Much has happened in the last few weeks leading up to the new year. As many of you know I was in New Zealand for 2 weeks around the beginning of December. I was able to spend time with a girl I mentored on this last Discipleship Training School. I stayed with her and her family and it was a really good time of resting and spending time seeking God. Then I took a bus to stay with an amazing family the Gemmen's know, and be apart of a Prophetic Worship School for a week. I have a short video update of the school on my Facebook page, but it was a week of focusing on Worship, the prophetic, the arts, and so much more. I am beginning to really see how God is already using what I have learned. It is amazing how God connects things and works though you past expectation when you give Him room to do so.  Coming back to Brisbane after was a crazy time getting ready for Christmas. I am the hospitality manager on Base and so taking care of guests, Christmas parti...

G'day Everybody! Exciting things are happening Here at YWAM Brisbane. The October Music, Art, and Dance Discipleship Training School Started last week. This week they have been in lectures learning about the Character and Nature of God. It is so exciting to here their revelations and the different things they are looking forward to this 6 months. I have taken on more responsibility in the Hospitality department on base and have been able to train new students in work duties and also plan a goodbye party for some staff who are leaving YWAM. Really exciting and also challenging. Soon Christmas planning will start and I am stoked! Something else I want to share with you are some plans I am making for November and December. As staff on the BLS school, I have 4 weeks of Vacation time in my 18 month commitment. I don't believe that it is the wisest choice to go back to the states for this time because plane tickets are really expensive and it would be better to save what support ...
