Week 8 in Michigan

After chatting with some of my school leaders this week, I finally was able to get connected with the online Restoring the Foundations training that I had hoped to do when I first got back to Michigan. Hooray!!! This training consists of video seminars and a printout workbook; as I go through those videos and workbook slowly, I will process what I am learning and what God is doing in my own life with someone on staff from YWAM Kona. The unique thing about this training is that as a person goes through the seminars the hope and intent is for them to be receiving ministry while they are also learning how to facilitate prayer ministry for others. There are two online seminars that I hope to do. This first one is eight sessions and is called Hope Healing and Freedom; the cost was only $20.  

Over the next month or so, the YWAM Kona campus is also offering many free online courses/teachings through Zoom for all the students that had to return home. Some of the courses/teachings are one day intensives, others are 1 week long (Mon-Fri), and still others are three weeks long (meeting 2-3 times per week). Students and staff are welcome to sign up for as many as they would like! I will probably sign up for at least one but I am not sure which yet, as I am just getting started with the RTF seminars and that is where I feel like the Lord has said my main focus should be right now.

Another opportunity that the campus just announced is for people who have never done a DTS but are interested! Below is what was posted on workplace and YWAM Kona's facebook page; please pass the word along if you know someone in your life that has wanted to do a DTS.

The campus leadership is still praying and talking about what the future re-opening of the YWAM Kona campus will look like. They are making plans in faith, but also walking in humble respect of the state of Hawaii COVID-19 guidelines.

Lecture for Homereach Students

Here is the link to the last homereach lecture; unfortunately I didn't enjoy the delivery of this message, I think the speaker took some liberties with the scripture text and I don't totally agree with everything he says. But I do think there are some good points that can be support with other parts of scripture so I am in agreement with those.
