It's official, the Koreans have taken over :) YWAM Honolulu has begun our April 2014 quarter with over 20 Korean students in our Korean Ministry Discipleship Training School (KDTS), and ~10 in our English speaking Discipleship Training School (DTS). We are looking forward to a quarter of meshing cultural lines, becoming one as the body of Christ is to be. I am personally excited for a quarter of leading worship on a multi-lingual team where we will be balancing English and Korean music lyrics and styles. This quarter all of our corporate meetings will be presented in both English and Korean. I will be continuing my full-time role as the Hospitality Guest House department-head. Interested in a visit??? email me at hospitality@ywamhonolulu.com or check us out online www.ywamhonlulu.com for corporate meeting times and information request links!
My YWAM Responsibilities...
*This quarter I will also be teaching a breakout group lecture for the YWAM Honolulu English DTS on the topic of Worship, 1 hour a week for the next 5 consecutive weeks. This is something I have done in a previous quarter and had been a highlight of mine. I am looking forward to deeper revelations and new growth in myself and others through the opportunity of teaching on a main passion of mine.
*Effective the beginning of this quarter I have been appointed as oversight of the YWAM Honolulu Prayer Room. To be actively involved, available, and initiate the goings on of the YWAM Honolulu Prayer Room. A small livingroom on the backside of one of our quanset huts, a special place on base set aside for prayer and worship, established in 2008. Over years at times falling through the cracks, it's purpose and use at times neglected, or shifted, under unclear oversight. I've felt stirred to steward this. My heart is for honoring God. I want to see YWAM Honolulu Prayer Room as a place set-apart for God's sake, a place dedicated for seeking and soaking in His presence, not out of necessity for communion, but out of honor and love. That Holy Spirit would dwell and fill this place and our lives with the heart of the Father and the victorious authority of Jesus. That we would be a tribe of people that live in the blessing of the overflowing God's presence. Establishing and up-keeping prayer rooms around the world is on the list of my lifelong callings... why not now and here! I am passionate an dedicated to steward this.
Please join in pray for the moving and working of the Spirit of the living God at YWAM Honolulu in the Manoa Valley!
headlines...
Chinatown- forever holding a special place in my heart. I will continue in co-leading weekly community outreaches for the new DTS students in street evangelism, and partnering with PS150, working primarily with the homeless community. Continuing to dream of any future opportunity to see an established community of believers living amongst.
New Hope Town- my instant family unit. Joined more then just a worship team a couple months back; doing life, a growing, caring, crew of friends. Drawn and considering missions opportunity within. Interested in partnering more of YWAM with this, my home church New Hope Town.
Medical- my trade. Somehow along the line I became a nurse 1/2 a decade ago, and God set me up with a great gig, and it has carried on for years. Flexibility, amazing authority figures, a main hospital on the island of Oahu. Now my balance act of time, priorities, and necessities seems easy flowing. Close to 3yrs in, a life of fulltime mission alongside a very-part-time medical career consisting of 5 to 10 hrs a week.
recent travels...
Kauai- blessed with a stones-throw trip to the farthest west that the USA has to offer. Inspired by a YWAMer wedding. A beautiful, whirlwind adventure over the last four days. I'm wondering why is took me 10yrs of living in the Hawaiian islands to make it over there, the "garden island" proves it's name true. Feeling refreshed, God's creation is amazing.
Thank you for your prayers and support!
