Visit to YWAM Richmond

As some of you know, I headed straight from Colorado to Richmond, Virginia to not only visit my friends and fellow staff members, Brandon and Kirsten, but to experience a little bit of another YWAM base. It was a great trip, very relaxing and refreshing. I was only there for a few days but as you know God can accomplish a great amount of things in just one day!

Richmond currently has a Discipleship Training School running and so I was able to sit in on a few of their lectures. One of the speakers, Troy Sherman, also spoke on my DTS about Identity and Destiny, but God used him to speak to me in a new and different way this go around. I won't go into too many details, but God really spoke some encouraging things regarding Project 61 over me as well as taking me back to the roots of why He first called me to missions.

I also was given an hour to talk with the DTS students about life after their school. It was very cool how the Spirit led everything from that week's topic to tie into talking about the student's futures. Because every base runs differently and has different ministry opportunities; I was able to share with them how we are structured and the various ministries that YWAM Pismo offers. I also shared with them my heart and passion for short term missions and how God has brought forth Project 61 from that passion. There were a few students that asked lots of questions and showed some definite interest in coming on staff after their school is over; so please be praying with me that those who feel that they have been called to long term missions would really let God begin to prepare their hearts, finances, and families for this change. I will keep you guys updated as well and let you know as God begins to bring people on staff that have a heart to join forces with me and the Project 61 ministry.
