Why go back???

Hi friends!

So, I realized some of you might be wondering why I am going back, how this decision was made, what happened!?

Well... I will start from the beginning...

When I got to South Africa in April and began my DTS, of course everything was new... new cultures, new people, new everything! Most of us are used to having our own room but instead I shared a room with 3 amazing girls. But because of that, I no longer had a place to pray alone... so I would usually go to the roof and pray. It was usually empty and it gives such a beautiful view of Muizenberg. There are 3 main things that happened in my decision to go back to South Africa, the first thing happened while praying on the roof....

So one night, I was praying on the roof and I could see the city lights and I felt God say, "You're going to go to the villages for 3 months".... and I'm like okay whatever you say God, whatever that means lol....



I never forgot what He said that night but I didn't think about it a whole lot. Next... I had been waiting to hear more about YWAM's "Frontier Missions." The day came where Adelson spoke about this ministry and at one point he mentioned Sudan, and something stirred in me. I began researching Sudan, the places YWAM has been in Sudan, and pretty much anything I could find (South Sudan specifically)... After this, I just left it and figured God would do what He wanted, when He wanted...



The third thing that happened... The leader of the Church Planting School had mentioned something to me about this school but I dismissed it, thinking I probably won't want to do a school right after my DTS. But for whatever reason, I began looking up whatever I could find about the school. I saw that it started in September and I saw the classes it provides....but then this is what really stuck out....

This school will be going to Sudan...to the villages...for three months....

Now, I don't know about you all but I don't fully believe in coincidences... all of this happened by May 2010.

So, for the past 4ish months I've been praying about this school, about Sudan, and just asking God to give me whatever it is He desires. During these 4 months I knew this is what I wanted and what God wants. So here I am, it's decision time, and all I can do is trust God. He will do whatever He wants with this situation....


...and as most of you know, I sold my car and some other things for my first trip. Now I have nothing else to sell so I really do have to fully rely on God to provide. It's insanely scary!! I've heard a million miraculous stories of how God provided in others' lives, I've read their books, I've seen it... and I've always said to God, how I would love to see Him do something crazy like that in my life!! ....and now here I am, thinking... well maybe this is the time where God does something like that for me... so... here we go... SOUTH AFRICA ROUND 2!!



Thank you guys for your support, encouragement, and love!! It means so much! Pray with me for strength, finances, and faith... I know God is going to do something crazy....



Let's do this!
