Aloha,
Seven months have gone by too quickly, since the Lord told me to pack my bags and move from little Indian River,Michigan and move back to Kona, Hi. Barely with no money and having to leave my family and friends and cute dog whitney behind. For sure, the walk of faith can be difficult at times but can only build perseverance, character; and hope; as Paul write in romans chapter 5:4. Obeying god is not always easy or likable but so much worth it!:)

The time here has been so much fun, meeting great people and being able to serve in a a handful of different ministries.
I came expecting to work with children and youth, yet was so much more than that. It seems like everywhere God places you, there's always a opportunity to reveal him in the situation and friends you meet. I tend to find my self sharing Jesus and praying for people when ever i get the chance to, whether it be be in the community or on the mission campus. I love it and I know it's what I was born to do:)

There are many awesome stories I'de love to start blogging on from the past being here, but as of right now I'd like to share the future.
Currently still working on my youth bible project, making a simple bible study manual for youth. I tend to work with lots of kids and never have something hands on to give them after camps or teachings. After my year of bible school and outreach I found that the 7 steps of inductive bible study, on which we taught on, impacted many in indonesia, philippines outreach, and I knew that There had to be a fun simple way to get youth an kids interested. So been working on that here.

While also teaching kids and children on campus about who GOd is and what a life following him looks like. We've had great times of acting and rapping out bible stories. Times of praying for people and countries in need and just asking the Lord what he thinks about us. The Lord has always shown up during these times and leads an encouraged us.

I also have been help coaching at a public high school, while starting a new prayer movement with some others on the mission base to pray for revival in the schools. We're are kicking off a new project this fall having churches an missionaries adopting a handful of students to pray for, so that the whole student body would be covered in prayer. The school here is full of crime and is one of the top schools in USA with lowest grades, highest teen pregnacy, and big drug problem. So we are believing for huge break through coming up. A group of us recently started doing praying walks around the school on Sundays and God has really given us a heart for the students and staff there. We're claiming it for Jesus:)!

So now, the quarter is almost over here on campus, and i plan on going home for a month or so. My beautiful sista Viki is having a her third baby and can't miss out on it, as I have my money its a girl:) I'd love to help her out and just be with my mates back home, while raising prayer and finactial support for the next season in Hawaii and perhaps Sweden.

So I'm grateful for all the Lord has been teaching me and leading me through and even more excited for the future!
Thanks so much for taking your time checking out my update, and prayfully consider a donation to send me back home in April. Thank You! Hope
