Last fall we had a time of base-wide prayer where it became very apparent that God was resurrecting Missions Adventures at YWAM LA. During that meeting I felt an incredible passion for MA. I knew that God was impressing it upon my heart to be involved, so I raised my hand to be a part of the team that was gonna bring this adventure back. I had no idea how I was going to be involved, just that I was to be involved...
Shortly after returning from leading a team to Costa Rica and Panama, and as I was beginning to transition into staffing our current leadership school, I was asked to take on the main responsibility for coordinating MA and getting it ready to blast off when our teams arrive in July. Man was I surprised! I knew it would be a challenge, but it felt right to rise to the occasion and say yes. It's already been an awesome experience of growth and learning. I'm looking forward to all of the action that July will bring!
In the past we've always sent our MA teams on outreach to Mexico, but this year we felt called to do outreach right here in LA. I'm super excited to see us become more involved in ministering to our city. That's a big part of my heart and hope for YWAM LA.
So here I am! - coordinating and preparing the outreach activities for our incoming teams. I know that this season will have a huge impact not only on our community, but on the individual lives of the students who are going to come through. Many people who have been introduced to missions in high school through MA have returned to YWAM to do our six month Discipleship Training School, and many more still have been called into full-time missions. Whatever the case may be, I know that God is in this and that He's going to do incredible things.
