St. Croix Outreach to the Orphaned, homeless, special needs and elderly!
Donation protected
Hello! I have recently finished my last semester at Cayuga Community College and have a strong desire to go out into the world and be used by God and to declare salvation through Jesus Christ. He has been doing wonderful things in my life and I know he will continue to work in great ways . Recently, He put on my heart that I need to be willing to move and do things outside my comfort zone in order to be used. Youth With A Mission (YWAM) has provided me with this opportunity to grow closer to God and reach out to children in need. I will be attending a Discipleship Training School (Compassion DTS) this fall at a YWAM base in Kona, Hawaii. This will be approximately six months long. For twelve weeks they will train us and better our knowledge in God\'s Word. Then, for the remaining twelve weeks, I will be sent out on a field assignment. The outreach will focus on reaching poor, needy and children at-risk. This may take me to places in Cambodia, Rwanda or possibly other countries. We will be reaching out to those living in absolute poverty, the homeless, those struggling with life addictions, women and children at risk, and those who have been sexually abused, trafficked or enslaved. These issues need to be addressed in more places than we realize. Over the years, I have been desiring more and more to go out into the world and help people, mainly children, who are longing for hope that can only God can give. Compassion DTS is purposed to move it\'s students to acts of kindness and love toward children at risk, the poor and the oppressed. I have been praying and know God is calling me to do this and would greatly appreciate your prayers. I am currently working full time at a daycare and putting the money toward this trip. However, I am still a ways away from the amount I will need. While prayer is a vital aspect in supporting any missionary, finances are also a concern. I am asking that you would consider praying if the Lord would have you support me financially in this fight for children\'s freedom and safety. The following are my expenses and due dates: Lecture phase= $3,995 (Due September 29), Field Assignment= $5,000-$6,000 (Due October 16). The theme verse for Compassion DTS is from Micah 6:8 \"He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.\" This DTS promises to be a place of growing deeper with God and an opportunity to make a difference for eternity. I am excited to see what God has in store and I pray He uses this to bless many in great ways.
