New Vision Stirring

Hello everyone, well I think last time I talked about a couple things I was involved in one was leading the August Beach to Bush school, and two was the Beach to Bush leadership team. But I was asked to be a part of the base vision team. I'm really excited for this, this base is such a fast growing ministry and like I said before we have got influence in many arenas. To be a part of the team casting vision and directing the base is very exciting for me, especially since its one of my gifts. I have a lot of fun dreaming and accomplishing dreams I have. We talked about a lot of things but everything we mentioned came down to the fact that our vehicles have seen their last days. We drive sometimes 28 hours up the coast for ministry. And just recently when we were about 15 hours up the coast two of the vans broke down and one of our trailers broke.
These vans are the arms of this base, without those vehicles our reach and influence can only go as far as we can walk, with backpack's on our backs, haha. So the vision teams first step is to believe for new vehicles. The Kingdom of God will not stop growing because a few vans break down. If you guys could just really pray for the ministry that God would open the flood gates and provide vans for us, that would be great. And if you feel so moved to actually be a part of YWAM Brisbane overall by making a Charitable Donation specifically towards vans on this base, you would greatly and actively be participating in salvations, discipling, building the Kingdom of God, it is SUCH an important thing for us as a very mobile ministry to have vehicles that work.

AND GOD, as it says in His word, own the cattle on a thousand hills, all the treasure on earth and in heaven is His. All He needs to do is take a brick out of the streets of gold and we have the vans and I believe He will do that. If anyone has any fundraising ideas we could do around here or around base, let me know, that would be GREAT! Thanks so much.

I also got to teach recently on evangelism. We have a program called Mission Adventures, where a youth group will come and go through some training on certain topics and principals. Then once they are trained and inspired, they head off to a location as outreach. The guest speaker for the week was a good friend of mine Nathaniel McGill (we call him Gill) he is Canadian/American, but grew up in Taiwan as a missionary kid. He has seen some amazing things, and speaks fluent mandarin, which is powerful for ministry in almost any oriental Asian country. He has been to something like 30 countries in the "10/40 window" (the largest group of unreached people between 10 degrees lat and 40 degrees lat). Anyway, hes an amazing guy and spoke some pretty wise, inspiring firey lectures. But the kids weren't really responding. And I really felt like God had something to say but I didn't know the group or where they were at. So I went in blind, and God showed up and I spoke some really powerful things and a lot of the kids finally responded and got excited about their future, about their outreach to Byron Bay, about the calling on their lives and about the saving the lost. It was quite amazing! God is good, and the glory was definately His, haha, cause I had no clue what I was getting myself into.
P.S. For these kids to go on outreach, again...a van needs to be used...haha, they are so crucial to every ministry this base is a part of please pray!! Thank you all. God Bless!
