I am blessed to be able to come back on staff for such a wonderful school. I believe whole-heartily in the heart behind the program. YWAM SF is a campus that focus’ on mobilizing, equipping, sending and sustaining missionaries in some of the hardest of places, the least reached of the world. The S.B.S. plays a role in equipping those being sent out into these nations and regions. The desire of the school is to send out quality people, who are well equipped, and know the word of God. Students spend 9 months in the Bible going through the book 5 times during the course of their studies. They learn to interpret the Bible through the inductive method, allowing the text to speak and interpret itself. As a student this was perhaps one of the most cherished times of my life.
Stepping into a staffing position means stepping into a whole new role for me. As staff I will be teaching lectures on various books of the Bible. For the first quarter I will be teaching Psalms, Philippians, and 1 Timothy. I will also be grading student’s work. This is in order to make sure they have a good grasp on the method. There are also many logistical jobs that have to take place in order to help the school run smoothly and efficiently, and we will all have our hand in that as staff.
Discipleship is highly valued in YWAM. In the S.B.S. we are able to disciple students through grading, through one-on-one times set up with their staff, through the teachings, and they receive discipleship moments through their own personal time in the Word.
I am honored to be able to walk through this season with our students. I know the Lord has a lot to teach all of us in this next season.
Something I want to share with my supporters is the opportunity I might have to go back to Cambodia next summer. As many of you know the Lord has given me a huge heart for this nation and I have been dying to return ever since I left. It looks as if the door might be opening for me to make a short visit this summer. Please pray for me and with me as I begin to save up for this. I want to use part of my time there praying and seeking the Lord on what His desire is for me in regards to the nation of Cambodia. I am still looking to move there long term eventually, but I want to seek the Lord on what that might look like, and what His timing would be. It may be too that He closes that door for me. I want to seek His will and desire for me ultimately.
As I learn more of what this trip will look like I will share with you on here. I want to share what the Lord has been sharing with me about this nation and I long to start a prayer chain for this country. Be watching this blog for more information if you are interested in partnering with me on this.
I have committed the next two years to work here in the Springs with YWAM SF. I desire to serve this base that has poured so much into me. While here I will be working with the S.B.S. and serving the campus in any other way that I can. It is a blessing and honor to officially be apart of this campus and family. I am blessed by the community and by the friends that I have made here. Pray for us as we mobilize, equip, send and sustain people in the 10/40 window.
