    It is now week 11 in YWAM Nelson !!!!!!! I still cant believe I am here!! It has been the most incredible, beautiful, hard, fun weeks of my life and I am just so grateful to be here!

    For all who donated, I really can't thank you enough. You have no idea how much it has meant for me to be able to be here❤️

    Throughout these past weeks at YWAM, we have had people from all over NZ come and speak to us. Each one of the teachings has really spoken to my heart and really impacted me. It has only been 3 months almost, but these 3 months have been one of the most impactful months of my life.

    I know who God is so much better, and I have seen things here that only God can do!! I have learnt so much about who I am in God and the purpose my life has, Ive been able to sing my heart out in worship, and pray and journey alongside his people. I've been able to build strong connections here, there has been some really good laughs and I really feel like I belong!!

    I will never ever forget this chapter of my life and growth that I've had, I am just so thankful to God for placing me here. I just can't believe how much healing this place has brought not only me but every single student on this course. But of course its not YWAM, its all God! God has used YWAM for his healing over people. I would encourage anyone to do YWAM, the next course starts in Feb, and is for all ages!! We have some people 50+ here on the course and their lives have been transformed too!! If you have this longing in your heart to know more, do YWAM!! Its the most beautiful place!!

    In a week and a bit, we are moving into the outreach phase of the course!!! We are packing up all our stuff and driving down to bluff to start our 2 month outreach in NZ and were all so excited!! The outreach is a prayer and worship walk all the way from Bluff to kaikoura and back to Nelson- we are having 3 teams. One a walking team, one a team that won't do much of the walking but instead help out in all the towns and cities we will pass on the way (this is my team! 🙌🙌), and a team that will do a bit of both.

    This has been the best journey of my life, and I am just soooo thankful to be here!! I don't know what's next for me after DTS but I'm trusting and praying that God will show me the way!

    Thank you all so much!!!!

    God bless you!!!

  • YWAM update!

      3 October 2020

    Hello beautiful people!!

    I just wanted to update you on how YWAM has been going for me

    And....

    Its been the best most, incredible experience of my life!!!

    I just want to say thank you, thank you all sooo much to be able to do this opportunity! I am growing and learning so much from it. Here at YWAM it is so freeing, God's presence is here so evidently and hearing the stories, testimonies and the miracles that have happened here is life changing.

    I can't believe that it has already been a month since I started, time has gone so quickly!! This biggest thing that I have learnt is how powerful God is, how alive he is and and how feeing living a life of truth is. And how freeing choosing to live in his joy is!! There is so much freedom here at YWAM its crazy!!!

    I just want you all to know he loves you so much, and even if you don't know what I'm talking about, or if you don't feel his love - God is there and he is alive. He has hand picked you, he choose YOU!

    TRUTH=HAPPINESS =FREEDOM

    Thank you all once again for everything!! I love this course so much!!

    You are all amazing!!!

    God bless!!

    -Joy

  • THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!

      31 August 2020

    UPDATE: Because of all you amazing, beautiful people I am now able to go to YWAM!!!!! This experience with Give a Little has honestly taught me so much, the support from everyone has really impacted me. I can't thank everyone enough, and I cannot believe that this is happening!!!! Only a month ago I felt God tell me to give it ago and I really did not think I would make it to be able to start this course!!!! Thank you all so so much!!!! May God bless you!!!

    I am sorry that I am unable to message/thank you all individually on Give a Little, and for those who donated anonymously I may never know who you are but I am just so grateful.

    To you all. I just can't tell you how you have impacted my life. I pray God is with you all, and blesses you all so much❤️

    I am now fundraising for the outreach phase of my course, which is where we will be travelling, going out into the community and putting into practice what we learnt in the 12 week lecture phase, so please feel free share my page if you are able to:)!

    Thank you all so so much!!!
