Help Send Kaitlin To YWAM Denver!

Friends!! As my time at Auburn is coming to a close and post-grad life quickly approaches, I am excited to announce that I will be embarking on a new adventure that I want to share with everyone! 

2 days after graduation in May, I will be making the trek up to Colorado to attend a discipleship training school program (DTS) through an organization called Youth With A Mission (also known as YWAM).  YWAM is an international Christian organization, whose goal is simply - to know God and to make Him known. (Here's a short video giving a brief overview explaining what YWAM is about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uz0EesM-G04

YWAM's Discipleship Training School (DTS) is a super unique opportunity to pursue the Lord and an intimate relationship with Him in a way like no other. Those close to me know that I had multiple possibilities in mind involving my life after graduation, but I have felt it on my heart to lay down my post-grad plans before Him, and to instead spend the next few months intentionally pursuing a season with Him. During this time, I will be studying His word, learning about His character, growing and living in community with others, while also discovering my passions and my part in God's purpose for the world. For the last 2 months of the program, I will be doing what is called Outreach and using what I’ve learned from lecture phase to go out into the world and share the sweet love of Jesus! 

I am incredibly excited to take this leap, and to continue to trust the Lord during this whole process. To feel a yearning in my heart to pursue Him in new ways, and then have Him open a door leading me to an opportunity doing exactly that, is a beautiful example of His sovereignty. I have no doubt He will continue to open doors leading me in the direction He wants me to go in. 

Whether you feel led to support me through encouraging words, prayers, or financial means, I am in great need of all three! The lecture phase of DTS is $3,500 and the outreach phase is an additional $3,500. I realize $7,000 is quite the goal, but I also know that God puts us on certain paths for a reason, and He is so much bigger than any amount of money ever could be.  

If you feel led to support me during this season, whether it be prayerfully or financially, I would be so incredibly grateful! I will also be selling some t-shirts and hand-painted goodies, which I will post about later, in order to help raise funds for the cost!

I'm so thankful for everyone's encouragement and support during this exciting time of change; Your prayers and kind words mean much more than you know. I will make sure to keep everyone in the loop with updates during the whole process of this new adventure!

Here's to the new and exciting season that lies ahead!

Love,
Kaitlin
