August Newsletter

Aloha! I have returned from the University of the Nations in Hawaii! I hope you are doing well and have enjoyed your summer season. I am flowing into a new rhythm of life being back in PA, and have been happy to reconnect with familiar faces. God has provided for me to be substituting this fall in public school and participating in the course Elijah House School of Prayer Counseling.  However, I also miss the amazing people I met along the path of discipleship in the Pacific Ocean and am eager to return. I thought this month I would show you some glimpses of the people you partnered with while helping me to follow God at the YWAM Base in Kona and give you a glimpse into my future.

My vision and purpose is to share Jesus with those that have never tasted the goodness of God, to bring others back to their first love, and stand with the suffering church.  I truly want to encourage people to follow the creative design that God that He has placed on each one of our lives and to willingly place that in God’s hands.  I want to walk side by side, training, and releasing healing through prayer support to each one along my path. In a book I recently read, “A Beautiful Way An Invitation to a Jesus-Centered Life by Dan Baumann, he sums it up in a few simple principles 1.We need to ask God to give us revelation of who He is.  2. We learn to trust God in the process of the journey and then we begin to understand more and more about his character. 3 We need to put others first and trust that God will provide for our own needs”. I have been very encouraged learning how to live this way and how to bear fruit that stems from my obedience. One of my high points of living in Kona was seeing students from 45 nations including Tajikistan, China, Kosovo, Mongolia, Kazakhstan; all which have very limited outreach have the ability to receive Christian discipleship training. I found joy in seeing many students learn not only English, but widen their capacity to stand on biblical foundations in order to expand their ministries. I look forward to impacting the un-reached more and more, and thank you for your prayers and partnership in such a beautiful way of living.
Much love, JoEllen
