Help a Brother get to YWAM San Fran

Naenae, Lower Hutt

Kia ora e te iwi! I have some really big news. This journey started around new years, when I spent some time with my mate at YWAM Tauranga, doing outreach events such as caring for people clubbing by praying for them. I also heard many inspirational stories of the mission field and my spirit was stirred. I went home thinking this would be a new journey I would take in a couple years. However, just a couple months later, I was listening to my friend tell her story of her DTS (Discipleship Training School), and my spirit almost leaped out of my chest. I realised this was something new God was calling me to sooner rather than later. I enquired with YWAM San Francisco as their blurb on their website talked about gentrification and the Gospel - this was my first time hearing a Christian organization mention this. Gentrification is something I am deeply passionate about and I hope that this experience of going overseas will deepen how I serve my brothers and sisters of Naenae.

This is a scary and new challenge for me and I need your help with getting there. This is my first time leaving Aotearoa. I am fully relying on the generosity of my God and my village. I feel as though this is a calling from the Lord. Asking for money is a difficult thing for me and I wouldn't do it if I wasn't taking this seriously. Would you prayerfully and financially hold me up as I pivot my life into where God is calling me in this current season?
