MARCH NEWSLETTER!

Hi! Thanks for stopping by and seeing what's been going on in my life.

It's been hectic, beautiful, challenging, and stretching but the Lord has definitely anointed me for this ministry of discipleship.

This month we have had 4 lecture weeks

• Holy Spirit

• Lordship

• Identity and Calling

• Relationships

Each week there is new breakthrough in not only the student's lives but also us staff as well! God is so good to not only disciple those who signed up for the school but also those staffing.

My three 1-on-1's

We have been learning how to get off the throne of our lives and get back on the alter as a living sacrifice (as written in Romans 12).

Lordship:

SURRENDER

During Lordship week the students learn all about seeing Jesus as Lord over their lives and what 'fear of the Lord' looks like in their lives. On Friday we had a ministry time that reflected and walked through the Old Testament tabernacle. Starting with thanksgiving, then praise, working through the steps all the way to the Holy of Holies where the Lord's presence dwelled within the temple. (We are now the new temple and have his presence in us all the time, praise!)

Laying things down at the cross

This ministry time was from 10AM-2AM, 16 hours of thanksgiving, praise, worship, laying things down at the cross, picking commitments up, communion, just walking through the steps of the tabernacle.

Because of the commitment and intensity of this ministry time, so many chains were broken that night, and the presence of God was SO heavy in the room. It was a powerful time of sacrifice, freedom, and deliverance in Jesus' name!

Baptisms:

We had 4 more people get baptized! What a joy it is to partner with that the Lord is doing in these students' lives.

Kiwi Quest:

To get the students and staffed prepared for outreach our base holds a 'Kiwi Quest'. It's an all immersive, intense trial of difficult tasks and circumstances to see our strengths and weaknesses in a team dynamic.

The point is to see how people do when pressed physically, mentally, and spiritually before they go on outreach and to see how your outreach team works together in high stress situations. It can be very hard for some or a lot of fun for others. The last weekend of the month we had Kiwi Quest. Our team worked SO WELL TOGETHER and we had a blast. Friday, Saturday, and the morning of Saturday we went on hikes, stayed up late, completed challenges, and grew!

Community Life:

Students asking the speaker questions

On this base, it's our home; we are a family. We work hard in the classroom, and in ministry times, and we play hard.

We live in so much joy and love in this community; it's a pleasure to be a part of it. There's always worship being sung, we are in week 3 of a 40-day prayer burn happening on our base, there's always people playing games and sports and painting. We learn with the Lord and continue to be discipled through this community life. It's amazing how around 50 people can live in harmony together just through Jesus.

Noemi and I

Thank you for everyone following along and having an interest not only in me as a person but also what God is doing in this school. Probably the end of next month will have more details about the outreach I will be leading with Carson!! I am so thankful for all of you back at home and in the nations. PLEASE text me with any prayer requests you have so I can be intentionally interceding and praying for you as well. I love you all a lot.
