Hi ya'll!
I just found out I've been accepted to attend the School of Ministry at the Bible College of Wales.... in the United Kingdom!
A little about the school I'm attending:
It's a three month intensive program that starts in the Spring of 2026, running from March 2nd to May 22nd. It's a small school nestled away on the coastline in Swansea, Wales, with a heavy focus on prayer and intercession.
I will be diving deeper into the Word of God, visiting revival sites, going on mission outreaches within the local community, attending / serving in the local church, sharing daily devotions / worshipping with one another, engaging in prayer / intercession, and learning about cross-cultural ministry.
The school itself has a really rad history. It was founded by a man named Rees Howells back in 1924. Rees was a humble miner who grew up in Wales. After his conversion at 22 years old, he truly surrendered himself to intercession; carrying the weight of those around him in constant prayer. The school was built mostly off of donations, and a whole lot of radical faith! My mom bought me his book which I got to read earlier this year :)
A brief history about the place... Back in 1904, there was a massive revival in Wales, that eventually stretched its hand across the entire globe. This particular revival was marked especially by spontaneous outbreaks of singing, prayer, open repentance, and confession. One of my favorite quotes from an article about the Welsh revival reads: "It was commented by one who attended the meetings that “the most extraordinary thing about the meetings I attended, was the extent to which they were absolutely without human direction or leadership. “We must obey the Spirit,” is the watchword of Evan Roberts (he was an important catalyst for this particular move of God)…” It truly was a revival where God poured out His presence unilaterally, and without focus on any man. It is a divine visitation in which God moves in answer to a praying people." There are newspaper articles from that time listing the thousands that had now become saved, and exclaiming that bars had been emptied, theaters were no longer in use, and court rooms weren't needed because there wasn't any crime. Revival had left the church building.
I'm so honored that God is calling me to this sacred land, and am sure that the Lord is wanting to equip me further to carry His presence in a more refined, mature, and confident way. The school itself is full of students from all different parts of the world, so I would really be immersed in the opportunity to live, learn, and grow cross-culturally, which is so exciting!
If you'd like my full story on how God highlighted this school to me and a bit more of my testimony from this year - you can watch my 10 minute Youtube Video. (<--- press here for the link!)
Here's a look at my current expenses so you can see exactly where your support would make a difference:
- 3 month ministry course fee: $2,363 (PAID!)
- on-site accommodations (meals + housing): $2,428 (PAID!)
- round trip plane ticket / any extra travel required (bus, train, etc.): $1,000 (PAID!)
- fund for offsite tasks (laundry, meals/trips on weekends, personal expenses): $1,500
- monthly expenses (phone, health insurance, bills, etc. while overseas): $709
That leaves me with a grand total of $8,000! I would so appreciate any and all offerings you may feel in your heart to give. And most importantly, I would be delighted to have you pray with me and for me as I step out in faith and say yes to this big adventure!
I have full confidence that God will finish what He has started. Thank you for taking the time to read / watch this exciting life update...! And please know that I am truly so grateful for your prayers. They are all felt and cherished deeply.
