Before the Adventure..

Hey everybody,

So I'm starting this blog to update everyone on what I'll be doing from the months of September 2009 to the end of February 2010. Here's what to expect: First I'll be doing a DTS (Discipleship Training School) in Winnipeg. This school is a five month intensive in spiritual and missional formation- three months of learning and service within Winnipeg, followed my a two month international outreach. The first month of this outreach phase will be spent in northern Thailand, working with those who are among the poorest and highest at-risk people groups of Thailand. The rest of the outreach will be spent serving among the urban poor in Vancouver.

I would greatly appreciate the thoughts and prayers of anyone reading this. I really feel as though God's really going to be working through each of us that are taking part in this opportunity to do His work. I'm excited to follow His direction and learn from this experience.

Also, YWAM is the organization I'll be doing this through. It stands for Youth With a Mission, and it's main goal for us is to "Know God and Make Him Known."

I hope you all enjoy what is to come in the future months, and continue to keep me in your prayers. Thanks!!
