Application

I just turned in my DTS application! After a lot of prayer and proofreading, I felt like it was finally ready to submit. Now, I just have to wait to hear back from the staff, then fill out a few last reference and medical forms. After that, I begin the HUGE task of fund raising! YIKES! Good think that nothing is impossible through God, right? ;-} Stay tuned for more updates!

New Blog!

Hi friends! Just wanted to let all of you know that I'm officially going to Australia! For those of you who might be out of the loop, I've been looking into going to a Discipleship Training School with an organization called Youth With a Mission for about two years now. I've been planning to go after graduation in December, but didn't know which base to go to. I've finally decided, and will be going to the Island Breeze Sydney base (http://www.islandbreezesydney.org/) to participate in their Performing Arts DTS. The DTS runs from February 9th-July 24th 2009. The first three months will be classroom-based stuff in Australia, and the last two moths will be a practical outreach in another country. I won't know what our outreach location will be until I get there, but the base has sent teams to France and China in the recent past.

I probably won't be blogging heavily until I get down there, but I'll write occasional posts to keep everyone updated on the preparation process (which involves raising about $8,000! YIKES!) Be praying that the Lord will prepare my heart for what he will be teaching me Down Under, and that he would miraculously provide the funds for me to get there. Look forward to more blogs as I get more info about the trip!
