What exactly will you be doing??




This has been a pretty common question I've been hearing the past several weeks. Well here's the scoop:

On Tuesday I'll be flying to San Pedro, Belize to start the first of a three phase program with Youth With A Mission (YWAM). This particular program is called Destination Paradise and is located in San Pedro, Belize in Central America.

The three phases:
Lecture Phase in Belize August 25-November 13
Outreach Phase in another location November 13-January 8
Internship Phase in yet another location January 8-April 30

So far, I know I am one of eight students who will be showing up on Tuesday. One of the things that drew me to this particular program is that the outreach location is not predetermined. As a group we get to pray, listen, and discern where exactly God wants to take us during outreach. That is also what I will be doing to determine where God wants me to go for the internship phase. Check out the following link for more details about the different phases.

It has been amazing to see how God has been aligning every detail of this transition in my life. His timing truly is perfect and I am so thankful to have been able to see so many friends and family members throughout the summer. I am very excited for this next step of the journey God is taking me on. I know there will be challenges. I know He will completely exceed my expectations. I know that He will refine me, bless me, and continually draw me closer. I am SO excited to share it with you!! Please keep me updated on how I can be praying for you. I'll be updating the prayer requests on the bottom of the page when I write new posts. Adios!
