A Day in the Life... Short-Term Outreaches

Welcome to my new weekly blog-post series! I decided it was important to share with everyone what exactly I do at YWAM Jax Beach, so I came up with the idea of doing a "A Day in the Life..." series, where I share different aspects of what I do at the base. So, this first installment is going to be about Short-Term Outreaches. This may be multiple weeks long because I will be in the midst of Short-Term Outreaches for the next month! Short-Term Outreaches, or STOs, are similar to your typical mission trip. The main difference is that we set it all up and you show up! We have STOs both locally in Jacksonville and overseas. In Jacksonville, we connect with and serve local ministries. We also do street evangelism in the area around our base, which during the summer is full of people going to the beach! We give people the opportunity to get a little bit of teaching on evangelism, then will give them projects, like praying with people on the beach, to actually practice the t...

Sharing Freedom

This DTS has been incredible. I've made some amazing friends, grown exponentially in my walk with God, and had an all around amazing time. The week on the Holy Spirit a couple weeks ago was one of my favorite weeks. It was the last week of lecture with a speaker from outside our base. I thought I'd seen and done everything involving the Holy Spirit, which of course was very wrong. God really encountered me and told me to focus on Him instead of my past and what I've done. My knowledge of Him has gone from just knowing about Him to really knowing Him and His heart. That was something that God taught me all throughout this DTS. So now it's off to Asia!! The first part of DTS is done and now it's time to go and spread the joy and the freedom we've received. God has set us free from our past, taught us how to hear Him, and given us more revelation of His heart. We have learned so much, yet what we've learned has not been given to us so we can keep silent. We l...

The End of the Beginning

On Monday night I got back from my first adventure as an outreach leader for the Discipleship Training School in Jax Beach. I spent 2 months traveling overseas with 6 students and one other leader, sharing the good news of Jesus. We spent the first 5 weeks in Taiwan (see last post), and the last 3 weeks in China. I wish I could tell you all of the stories, but I would be typing on the computer for days. It's hard to really come up with how to express this trip, the emotions I felt and the things I saw. In Taiwan we had the opportunity to work with YWAM. It was great to be able to work with another base and see what God is doing there. Taiwan is a place where you can openly share the Gospel, but it is still a very small percent Christian. There is a darkness and heaviness there because there is still a lot of ancestor worship. People even have shrines and altars set up in their homes. They will burn "money" to their ancestors because they believe they need it. Many do it...
