Thank you SO much for your loving support and patience with me for this next video update. I am in awe of all that God is doing in my life and I have never been chasing after Him harder than right now. He has asked me to surrender even more of my life to Him, more of my rights, and it has brought so much peace and growth into my life in every way. Jesus is so worthy of my obedience and I am SO grateful that I get to embrace a daily and deep relationship with Him where my only real responsibility in this season is to grow in that relationship and in my understanding of who I am. It is rare to have a season like this. Thank you for making it possible! On an informational note, I will leave on December 22 for my 3-month Outreach Phase in Haiti. Our goal is to encourage the nation. We will stay in Florida Keys for 10 days and then move on to the Dominican Republic until we see that the political unrest settles and the border is safe to cross into Haiti. Feel free to watch this video for an update or keep reading on for some detailed info (or both!).
Here are the topics we have and will be going through during this Lecture Phase of the Life & Liberty Discipleship Training School with YWAM Ships Kona.
Week 1: YWAM Ships History
Week 2: Hearing God’s Voice
Week 3: Character and Nature of God
Week 4: Sin & Repentance
Week 5: Father Heart of God
Week 6: Identity
Week 7: Holy Spirit
Week 8 (last week): Relationships
Week 9 (now, Tuesday, Nov. 27th): Evangelism
Week 10: Corporate Week
Week 11: Spiritual Warfare
Week 12: Missions / Outreach Prep
Here is what a day in the life looks like at the L&L DTS. On Monday morning, we worship Jesus through live music at the University of the Nations with all the other YWAM students and staff of Kona at 8am and then at night at 7pm. On Wednesday morning we worship Jesus at the YWAM Ships base, and then on Friday morning with just the Life & Liberty DTS peeps to process the week of teaching together. We go do outreach and/or street evangelism to reach out to the local community of Kailua-Kona, Hawaii on Wednesdays. Every other week on Tuesdays we have family night (fun and games as a DTS fam) and outreach preparation after. We have class every day except Saturday and Sunday from 9am-12:30pm and we get some extra teaching on Thursday night at the U of N (University of the Nations.
Needless to say, most days during the week we roll from about 6:30am to 4:30pm-9pm. It can be really busy depending on the day. That makes spending time with the Lord even more crucial. I have been encouraged to be “selfish” with my time with the Jesus, even “ruthless” with my time with Him to really chase after my relationship with Him. I have laid everything at His feet and I believe there is an exciting future ahead with Him. He has affirmed my calling to young adults/youth (Millennials, Gen X, Gen Z) and to raise up leaders in those generations. It is an exciting time and I am SO beyond grateful from the bottom of my heart to all of you who decided to come alongside me in this journey. Thank you for supporting me financially, and/or with prayer, or even for just being a friend or acquaintance that believes in me! Your support means so much to me and I am grateful that you decided to step out in faith to invest in me and get me to Hawaii for this DTS with YWAM.
You are loved and your obedience to Him has eternal rewards in Jesus alone.
Resting in the Father’s love,
Paul
Prayer requests:
Team Haiti: Unity and love for one another as we love on the nation of Haiti.
Moi: Quick Surrender, Prompt Obedience. Rest in the Father's love.
