So onto week six here in Kona! In some ways it feels like its been so much longer than almost 6 weeks, and in others it feels like I've been here for so much longer! Our lectures have continued to be amazing, the Lord is being so faithful to pour out revelation and deeper understanding of who He is and what he has called us to be and do with Him. Last week we had one of the main leaders here on base, Andy Byrd, talk on the heart of the revolutionary and revivalist. It was amazing and super practical, calling us to a higher standard, living our lives fully for Jesus because its all about Him and He is worthy!
For a great summary of our week, my friend Steven Conant created a music mix of the three days Andy spoke that sums it up so well! click on the link that'll take you to the site to listen to it! Its really good so you should! :)

This week we're doing topics on the Holy Spirit, different aspects of his character and ways. We have a new speaker everyday so we're hearing from lots of amazing people. I'm continuing to just let the Lord reveal things to me and love on me while I rest in him and chase after and gaze on Jesus!!
We leave for Nepal in about a month and a half!! Craziness! We still don't have a ton of information on what we will exactly be doing there but are aware of a few things. We leave on December 21st and start our long trek to Nepal! We have a few layovers, including one in Seoul, Korea and 2 days in Bangkok, Thailand (where we will spend Christmas Day) and then get into Katmandu, Nepal on the 26th. We know that we will be working and staying with Iris Ministries, but not completely sure exactly what we will be doing. If you're curious about Iris Ministries click here to go to their website! They're an amazing ministry whose vision is to bring God's healing, hope, and salvation to Nepal's orphans, homeless, lost and poor by being the loving hands and feet of Jesus We're super excited to be working with them and serving them! As we find out and plan more of what our outreach will look like, I'll keep you all updated!
Our total outreach cost is going to be approximately $5000. I have already had $2500 paid in and provided for by the Lord! I am still in need of another $2500 that is due in 2 weeks. I know the Lord has called me to Nepal so I know he will provide. Please pray about financially supporting me and my team as we head off to minister God's love to the people in Nepal!
