Trip Update:
Because of an amazing response with in the first week, all 25 seats on our airline reservations are taken. I am sorry to announce that our trip will not be taking additional applicants.

This spring I will spend my vacation focusing on the needs of others in the Dominican Republic.
Imagine the bright smiling faces, joyous laughter and loving embraces as we meet the Dominican people, amazed at the joy in which they embrace life, even though many are poverty stricken. How blessed they will truly be when they encounter the love of God.
Through my team of youth and adults, they will receive love, not just from us, but from the One Who gave it to them. Our first desire will be meeting their physical needs and providing them with some stability for the future through building homes, painting, food distribution, teaching children, providing water, etc. This will give each of us the opportunity to speak into their lives and share with them the love of Jesus Christ.
Last year, teams built a kitchen for a school so the students could receive the proper nutrition to stay awake in class. In this tangible way, over 160 students, as well as their families, felt the impact of Christ's love.
Through your support of my trip to the Dominican Republic, we together can have an eternal impact on these needy lives!

England to Michigan in 7 days!

I just got off a 10 hour flight from London last Friday, and now, one week later, I will be flying to Michigan (Nov. 7-17). I look forward to spending a week thanking all the people who have been so committed in supporting what God is doing through me. As well, I see this week as a chance to invite new people to join my support team. If you would like to be a part of this team please let me know. (Phone 407.492.0098)

Communicating With Future Leaders

Every month thousands of people come to ywam.com looking to find their way into world missions. It is my privilege to help these people find the answers to their questions.
Every so often I get a letter from someone thanking me for the role I have played in their life. Many of these people are from various places around the world serving full-time in missions.
While I was in England (click to see video slide show) attending meetings about this very type of communication, one of the leaders I met showed me such a letter:

"I was 18 years old, ready to go full-time with another mission organization and then found out God had other plans for me... I was crushed and lost. A friend told me to check out YWAM... so I found ywam.com, wrote them and asked them [for a YWAM location] in the Czech Republic. Right away, they got back to me, told me they [had] just heard about the first DTS in Czech and gave me their contacts- I wrote them, applied, and was accepted as the first student ever in Czech.
This was all from ywam.com. They responded and helped where they could... it was absolutely life-changing for me... I would not be where I am today, doing what I am doing, if it was not for those guys and how they took the time to help me in my time of wondering!!!"

Today, she is an international leader focusing on communicating the Gospel in some of the least reached parts of the world. Thank you for helping me mobilize the next generation of leaders!
