William's Story
Life has been guiding me in an exciting direction and I would like to tell you about it. I hope this might be something you can help me with. Let me tell you my story.
My family and I moved from Idaho to a little town in Texas in the summer of 2020. I learned a lot there. My family opened a coffee shop, and I learned about customer service. While I was in Texas I started to really think about my faith and who I am, and what that means. I started to really dig into scripture and learn about who God really is. It changed from being my parents' religion to being my own relationship with God. And then we moved again. This time to the Caribbean.
God has guided us along every step!
The more I immersed myself in Scripture, the more I started to feel pulled in a direction. Where? I wasn't sure yet. But I started looking. And I found YWAM, Youth With A Mission. And I feel called there. A place to learn more about God, to learn practical steps to share and talk about my faith. A place where believers get together, connect and fellowship. A place to grow deeper in my faith. I know God has directed me to YWAM. YWAM is one of the largest missions organizations in the world. There are YWAM workers in almost every nation. I feel called to participate in their Discipleship Training School (DTS).
This program will help me impact the world for God's glory. DTS includes 3 months of hands-on training and lectures that are scripture based and outreach oriented. The second 3 months is an outreach period where we go out among the nations and serve others and share the love of Jesus. For more information about YWAM you can visit their website at ywam.org.
To join the next DTS with YWAM I need to raise $6,795. I am wondering if you would be interested in donating towards this.
The funds raised will be used for:
Tuition, Housing for 3 months - $3940
Travel - $500
Supplies - $155
Outreach Phase, 3 months - $2200
I am using my parent's ministry, the Christian Karate Association, to help collect funds. Please click this link if you can help. Every donation makes a difference whether it is $5 or $500 or the full amount!
I hope this is something you can help me with. Please keep me in your prayers as I step onto this new path God has given me. And if you know anyone who would want to help, make sure to forward this page to them.
Thank you for reading my story. Let me know if you have any questions. I would love to hear about how life is going for you.
