CHANGE

In May 2012, leaders of YWAM-Richmond came to me and told me that they are proud of my progress and they don't think that I was being challenged there anymore. They released me from my two-year commitment to the Richmond Ropes Course and gave me three weeks to find a new base or school. They gave me a full recommendation and support and I graduated from DTS (Discipleship Training School). I found a secondary school. It is a four-phase program with the first phase in Hawaii, the second in Europe, the third in Australia and the fourth in New Zealand. The school, which is YWAM Ships, is designed to train staff to work on board ships or maritime missions that YWAM offers. The school is great. I've already learned a bunch. We are working on fixing up a 27=ft bay cruiser. It's in pretty bad shape. The steering is rusted. There are a bunch of parts missing from both of its six-cylinder diesel engines. But who knows? Maybe we'll get it in the water before I leave on Sept. 1 for the last part of this initial phase, which is in Orange County, Calif.

I will be uploading some photos and video soon my classes are really intense and I have to study a lot, but it will happen. I promise.

Thank you to all my supporters. I really appreciate it. I pray for all of you and thank God for all of you everyday for without you I could not have committed my life to God.
