Thank you!! Link to song I wrote

Hi, I want to say thank you for all your support whether it was in prayer or financially. I couldn't have done this without your support. Having finished my DTS and outreach. The musicians on my DTS have recorded an album. I decided to release my song that I wrote to encourage others in God and to spread hope, and to say thank you to everyone who supported me along the way!!

Outreach

Hi and God bless to you all. Sorry I haven't been keeping you all updated enough things have been pretty crazy and we have been travelling around a lot. I'm aiming to keep you all updated more though within the last few weeks. On another note in order to get my blog around to my supporters. I'd love your feedback. I'm thinking you guys could subscribe your email address so you could get my updates instead of me sending them on Facebook. Or I might make a Facebook page, let me know what you think? Your feedback means everything. And please let me know if it's Annoying you getting inboxed on Facebook when I update haha, and I'm sorry if I am. Outreach has been such an amazing experience. It has been so much better than I would have imagined, there were challenges, but it's been such an amazing experience, I'm so sad that it is almost over. My outreach team feels like my family and it's going to be so hard to say bye to them all!! We stared off

These two weeks have been very amazing but challenging at the same time. Relationships week I found to start off very hard and painful, as I was hearing both Matt and Cora's stories.

I found the middle and the end of the week very healing for me. I started to feel a lot more complete in myself. I learned some really good tips on healthy relationships. Such as not rushing things (which is one of my weaknesses) and constantly s

First YWAM update

Hello to my beautiful friends and family. I have been at the YWAM Zion base for almost 2 weeks now.  The base is 2 hours north of Auckland just out of a little town called Paparoa. The base is down a long gravel road, within the rolling hillside and beautiful landscape is where the Zion base stands. When I first arrived I was in awe of the peace that surrounded and was in this beautiful place. We were showed around the place and I felt such a presence of peace, expiacally in their prayer room. The Zion base is home to a 24 hour prayer room, in which we can choose a time in the day or night to go in and pray. It is such a peaceful place, and it is amazing to spend that time with the Lord. As soon as I stepped into the lecture room we received a warm welcome from the staff, they performed a worship song in Maori, followed by a welcoming tradition of a Hongi. Which is a Maori Traditional greeting, where two people touch noses against each others. This metaphorcilly represents Gods bre
