As I mentioned in my last post, there have been some changes made. When I was initially invited to join the staff of YWAM West Virginia, I was under the impression that my primary focus would be with the Discipleship Training School (DTS). I saw myself with these students, meeting them where they were at and sharing with them pearls of wisdom and stories I've acquired from walking with God daily for so many years. I looked forward to watching each of them transform in amazing ways during the 6 months that they were going to be with us. And of course, I wondered often about where God would send us to minister after the 3 month classroom phase was complete.
Little did I know that God had something else in mind. We needed to have 6 students in order to run the DTS and when our deadline rolled around we only had 3 students. As we prayed about this, we felt that it was right to lay the training school down for now, fully believing that in this season God has a different focus for us as a base. My role, as of now, is not fully defined and yet I'm following God with confidence. I can feel His excitement over this next segment of our journey, so I take His hand with a smile upon my face, ready and willing to be His partner. The ministry opportunities in this town are endless. There is a crisis pregnancy center nearby that I will be volunteering in. I've also been asked to pray about taking a leadership role in a youth group in my town. Many other ideas have been discussed, so who knows how this next year will play out. Anything can happen!! Regardless of what I end up doing for a job, I will be carrying the light of Jesus into Keyser, bringing hope and sharing love with all those I meet.
