I am writing this letter humbly to ask for your prayer and financial partnership as I step out this September to embark on a new chapter of my life as a student at BSSM.
I would not have imagined or thought of such a huge transition even 6 months ago while teaching in LA. However, though unexpected, I am excited to step out in faith to live fully for God in freedom and love, growing in intimacy, greater wholeness, and maturity.
If I were honest, I have always had a heart for ministry and missions for as long as I can remember. In 2005, I grew a greater heart for the nations through YWAM DTS in Kona, Hawaii, then worked with a North Korean ministry seeing what God was doing there while being stretched in every way possible.
In 2007, exactly 7 years ago, I came back to the states to pursue education and planned to live a simple life at home after being a bit discouraged by missions and ministry. It was a time of personal healing as God took me deeper in areas I did not know I needed to explore with Him.
This January, during my fourth trip to Bethel, I strongly sensed God calling me to Bethel similar to the way He called me to YWAM. I asked God for many confirmations, as I had become a bit hesitant and much fearful of what this may mean. Though I was willing to live in the huts of Africa when I felt such a strong calling for ministry before, over time, I had become so complacent in the predictable life. Yet, I always knew there was more God had for me. I knew this was an opportunity that God was opening before me, extending His hand of invitation to follow.
Honestly, I have no idea exactly what Bethel is going to lead to. I may be there for 9 months, 3 years, or indefinitely. I know it may sound irresponsible, but with such a strong leading of God and peace in my heart about the timing and season of this opportunity, I did not want to look back years later with painful regret. We only live once, and I want my life to be spent for the Lord in the most meaningful way, as a lover of God who cared not but for the One that I love.
This is becoming a novel, so I shall stop here. I hope to connect with many of you in person before I leave. I am ever so thankful for my community of family and friends. Though it is difficult for me to leave, another part of me is so very excited at the adventure that lies ahead.
Would you like to partner with me in this endeavor as I like Peter in the Bible step out to take my first step on the water so to speak? I am trembling with nervousness and excitement and humbly ask for your prayers, financial sowing, and journeying with me in this process! Thank you again and I am so thankful for your presence in my life. You have made my journey with the Lord that much richer and fuller and I am ever so grateful.
