Vegas Life...

I work for Youth With A Mission located in the crazy city of Las Vegas. YWAM is an organization that trains and sends off missionaries to all parts of the world in countelss different ways. I am apart of the Mission Adventures staff here. Mission Adventures is a program that is designed to moblize the youth and introduce them to how God wants to move through them.

I am now the director of MA.

YWAM Las Vegas' main building now is called the Pier which is located in the poorest neighborhoods in Las Vegas; it is also where me and five other YWAM staff live. We are in this community to provide for the physical needs for the residents who live here as well as the spiritual needs.

giving party!!

Man...I am still in shock with what God is doing. Last night we had a giving party with YWAM. The speaker this week for the DTS, Ben, led us out in this thing where we either prayed beforehand what to bring to give and who to give it to or to respond to god if He ptompted us to give something. My heart was a little hardened to it just because I feel awkward with giving and I was also having a little doubt that God would speak to me. I really wanted God to speak to me and use me to bless someone, but I didn't know what or who. So I prayed about every little specific thing that I own, which isn't much, but didn't feel peace about anything. so the night went on, people gave things and cried and it was amazing. God knows our heart so well that He knows exactly what we need and also how to touch our hearts. He did that last night. Andrea got like 3 cameras, one normal digital camera and two nice professional cameras. God just wanted to bless her that night even outside her need. People's outreach fees got paid, words of encouragement were given, it was beautiful. I actually had previously that day asked God for two things, a computer and an IPOD. Well I got the computer, Sami gave me her laptop..strait up...I have never owned a computer. Man I can't even express and coundn't then either, I said if I could cry I would have then. Then throughout the night, Bethany B gave me 2 blank canvases, Joshua gave me a glass chess set, Kenny gave me a Juggernaut he siad that he said represented that nothing could hold me back, through God I can go through anything. God then laid it on my heart to bless Kenny with my green racket ball that I bought a few weeks ago that I play with allot. When I was in my room looking for the ball, I remembered that previously that day I had knocked off my reflector off my bike, so I grabbed it along with the ball and went back even though I wasn't quite sure why I was giving him either of them. As I presented him with the two itemss I told him the ball was God telling him that He wanted him to be totally obsessed with him as I have an unhealthy obsession with balls...i play with them allot, I always have one around, become attatched to them so much that I am destraut and mad when I loose them. And the reflector meant that God wants to reflect that closeness to him to all the world. The whole night was the most I have felt God in a long time, I was beautiful, I can't even discribe it. So the night ended and people went to bed and such. I got up this morning early, went to Starbucks with Sam and Beth to meet about next week, I busted out the new laptop to take notes on. I got home an was playing on my computer and Trisha walks in with a big smile on her face and says I need to give you something that I was supposed to give you last night but didn't She opens up her hand and inside is an Ipod! I couln't even believe it. I have been wanting an Ipod as my MP3 player broke like 3 months ago and haven't been able to listen to music while I bike or anything. So yeah, basically God is good, God loves me, God loves you, we are his children and He just wants to bless us.
