Life as an SBSer
Greetings Friends & Family!
I have been here at the YWAM base in Montana for nearly a month now. Most of my time spent so far has been in training as a new staff, and preparing for the upcoming SBS.
SBS 08/09 begins on the 22 of september 2008, and there is much to do to prepare for the students arrival. In the midst of trainings, and meetings, I am also trying to raise finances, unpack and prepare to teach the book of James in December. We are preparing for seminar, which is the first few weeks of the school where we introduce students to how to do the inductive method. This is a very crucial time for students, and all of the SBS staff will be teaming up to make seminar the most positive, and clearly informative experience that we can. In addition to preparing for the school to start, and all of my regular staff duties as a grader, teacher, and discipler; I will also be helping to oversee the hospitality portion of our ministry, which I am really excited about. This is so that we can bless students with food, and other aspects of hospitality for special events, birthdays, seminar, etc. (or when they are just plain worn out and seem like they need a pick me up:)) This is exciting for me, because hospitality is one of my gifts. I love cooking and planning parties, so this is right up my alley, and I look forward to blessing the students in this way. Hospitality is one of the core values of the Youth with a Mission.
Over this past weekend, I was able to spend some time with other staff members, at an SBS staff camping retreat. This time was relaxing, but also a good time for getting our hearts in the right place for what lies ahead of us. The focus of the retreat, was getting back to the basics of why we do what we do. It was both challenging and encouraging.
Prayer Points:
Thanks for your interest in my life. I will keep you updated as things unfold.
This scripture has been encouraging me lately. Maybe it will for you to:
"Count it all Joy my brothers when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." - James 1:2-4
My Love and gratitude goes to all of you,

Prayer Points:
- I have definately been going through alot of transition, so please be praying for me, as I am still adjusting. Also please pray for my finances.
- Please also be praying for us, the staff as we prepare for the students arrival and the school; pray that we would prepare well and be loving them well in the midst of it.
- Pray for the students as they are preparing to come. Many of them are in need of finances and nervous about the rigorous course that lies ahead of them.

Please Pray for my Health:
Hello partners in ministry!
1. I first wanted to say that I have definitely been feeling God's grace & favor on me in this time of transition, so I wanted to thank you for your prayers in that; and to join with you in praising God for it.
2. Second, I was wondering if you could stand in the gap for my health: I have been under some of stress lately and my left side, where I had pneumonia has started bothering me again. I wanted to be proactive in putting this before you to ask for your prayer, that no illness will recur.
3. I keep waking up in the middle of night, and finding it hard to get back to sleep. Please pray that I would find sufficient rest: both spiritually and physically.
You are all fantastic & all my love goes out to you. I am praying for you too.
