Hey everyone! The reason for this fundraising is to earn enough money to go the YWAM Kansas City! I have had heart and desire to go to a YWAM but just recently I have decided to go to the one in Kansas. I yearn to get closer to God and through that relationship, bring people closer to Him as well as a living example. (Here is a link to the website http://ywamibs.org/)
I was born into a Christian family, always surrounded by scripture and spiritual language. These scriptures, bible verses, and teachings were imbedded into my brain, but did not
hold meaning. They were not my beliefs, simply my parent’s and pastor’s. At age 12, I went to a retreat where I first felt the love of God and His grace. From that day, I began to search and believe on my own, truly seeking relationship with the Father. In the high points of my journey, I was passionate and on fire. At the low points, the fire subsided and left me feeling cold as if God had left me.
It took me 2 years to realize that passion is not associated with the relentless love of God. It took me 2 years to understand that God was faithful and present in my life, even when I couldn’t feel Him. The farthest distance in life is from the head to the heart. I knew it as knowledge, but it took time to believe and have faith in His promise to never leave nor forsake me. At age 15, I felt a sense of betrayal because of a conflict within the church. I renounced Jesus as my Lord and saviour, and chose to hate and fight Him, rather than love and worship Him. The anger grew into a total rejection of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. These dark times revealed not what God created in me, but what sin had made instead. I am 17 years old now, and a year has passed since my life’s lowest point with the use of drugs and alcohol. I had a cold heart with rage, and a detest for other people–yet, I was given grace to see hope and a reason to keep living. The hope led me to a driving desire to go to YWAM (Youth With a Mission) with their Discipleship Training School.
I am currently in Korea. God is showing me more about myself, shining a light on my selfishness, laziness, and lack of responsibility. Given this revelation, I could choose to sit back and be complacent, or I can get up and push towards change. One of my many passions is to share the freeing message of the Gospel to all the nations, but I need to be prepared and trained up by spiritual mentors and teachers. I chose YWAM because they aim to build up a generation of youth to not just read the Bible, but live it. There are two 3-month phases: the lecture phase and the missions phase. The lecture phase consists of mentorship and college courses on the Holy Bible. The second phase is the missions phase, where teams are sent into another country. Wherever we are sent, love and compassion will follow. Whether it be engaging the community, giving food, building houses, or listening to the stories of people who want to be heard.
Will you partner with me financially and prayerfully?
