Fundraising to help me get to YWAM Nelson

Waikato

Hey guys,

On February 21st I'm going to YWAM in Nelson, NZ. I have always wanted to do something like this but never actually committed. For the past 2 years I have been studying a bachelor of nursing and I completely pushed away and forgot my dreams of going to some sort of bible school. After visiting Luke at ywam Nelson I completely fell in love with the place and God began speaking and revealing things to me to radically change my plans. Therefore, I will be taking a 6 month break from my study which was a very hard decision for me to make and it took a lot of praying. Ultimately I feel God calling me deeper, to learn more about him and to give up 6 months to allow myself to fully focus on him without the distractions of busy study life.

YWAM will consist of a 12 week lecture phase involving topics on worship, prayer, hearing from God, the father heart of God, appologetics, evangelism etc. Then will move on to an 8 week outreach phase either overseas (if any countries open up) or a prayer walk of the north island.

I am so excited for this and I would love it if you could partner with me either by praying for me or donating. God is so good and has done so much in my life already and I can't wait to see what this next step will bring.

What the funds will go towards:

$3950 for lecture phase

$500 transport fee

$2000-$3000 outreach phase (price dependent on location)

Blessings,

Eleyah

UPDATE  8 April 2021

Hi guys, some of you may know and some of you may not know but the YWAM Nelson DTS that I was going to do got cancelled. :(

Recently I have been chilling out, working a bit and trying to find out what God wants me to do in this season.

I still want to do YWAM at some point but maybe in the future after I graduate nursing.

So, I guess that's all the bad news, now for the good news...

Just after I found out YWAM was cancelled I was scrolling through Instagram and an ad popped up for a 4 week course at YWAM marine reach in Tauranga. Since then I have been praying about doing that and have felt like God just wants me to go for it. So I signed up, woohoo!

This course starts in May and will run for 4 weeks. I am really excited/nervous and would love it if you all could keep praying for me.

On another note I can give you your money you donated to me back. If you would like that you can text me or email me on 0221844996 or eleyah88@gmail.com.

Otherwise I can put the money towards this 4 week course I'm doing, the total cost for it is $1399 NZ.

Thank you so much everyone,

God Bless,

-Eleyah

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
