Well there are only six weeks left until my flight for London, England and everything seems to be coming together smoothly. When I arrive at the YWAM base in Harpenden, I will be support staff for the September 2012 DTS while I settle in to life at the Oval and take the Basic Leadership School (BLS) in October. The BLS will be 1-2 afternoons a week of teachings on different aspects of leadership. Support staffing means that while I will have several duties with the DTS, I will not be going on their outreach. A few of my duties could include up tea breaks, overseeing work duties, organizing fun nights, administration, one-on-one`s and small groups. However, I will be staffing the January 2013 DTS full-time so I will be preparing throughout the fall for the school.
As far as planning goes, I am pretty much set except for a few things. I have my visa (which is for two years) and my one-way, direct flight to London on September 1, 2012. I am still working two jobs full-time during the summer at Canadian Tire in the Garden Centre and at Sasamat Outdoor Centre in the kitchen. Hopefully, by the end of this summer, I will have saved a substantial amount of finances to help with my fees. However, I am still short when considering residence, outreach, school fees, and plane tickets. I need to raise a monthly support of approximately $550/month and I am still $250/month short. This covers food, residence, council tax, and other necessities. Please let me know if you are interested in partnering with my ministry with YWAM Harpenden or if you have any questions. Click on 'Support' at the top and it will explain the various ways of support financially.
Another way to support and partner with my ministry is to commit to praying for me while I am away. This can be as often as every day or even once a week but I would love to hear of others praying for the DTS ministry. Let me know if you are interested! Again, more info can be found at 'Support' but I will always need prayer while I am away.
Hopefully, I will be a lot more diligent in updating a blog than I was when I left my own DTS. But if you are ever curious of what exactly I am up to or if you haven't heard from me in five million and seven years, send me an email! Or a Facebook message or even a letter. Feel free to get on my case about updates. There will be an official newsletter every few months that I'm thinking will have more of a general overview of what I'm doing. But if you want the details or the fun stories, this is the place.
Hope you are enjoying some beautiful sunshine this summer,
