Hi everyone!

It's official! I got a phone call from YWAM Townsville today and I have been accepted into the July Medical DTS. In just three short months, I will be boarding a plane to Australia to take part in this amazing opportunity. THANK YOU to everyone who was praying for me! This is a thrilling confirmation that taking this year off to to grow closer with God and serve the people of Papua New Guinea is in his plan for me.

What will I be doing? Well, the first part of my DTS will include 12 weeks of lectures with guest speakers from all around the world. A different topic is covered every week, giving me the opportunity to dive in deep with God. Topics will focus on hearing God’s voice, identity, medical missions, relationships, bible study, nature and character of God and more.The second part includes a 10-week practical outreach partnering with YWAM Townsville’s long-term Medical Ship serving in Papua New Guinea; I will have the opportunity to be a part of teams connecting with local villages, providing needed healthcare and assisting in rural community development. This is where I will have the chance to bring hope and life to those who are in great need.

As I mentioned when I applied to this DTS, this really is so much more than just a course for me – my prayer is that I will gain such passion and boldness in my faith, that I have never known before and will carry through the rest of my life. I also see this as an opportunity to develop life-long friendships all while passionately serving the people of Papua New Guinea with a medical focused ministry!

I cannot wait to to start this next chapter of my life!

Blessings,
