Mission Funding: YWAM Herrnhut

I'm the kind of person who plans everything to the highest extent I am able to, on a daily basis. Because of that, I find it hard to accomplish my previously stated goal of abandoning fear in my life. I feel a great unsettling feeling when I think about the fact that I am leaving in less than a month for Germany and cannot possibly afford the Marriage of the Arts DTS on my own. I have enough for a round trip plane ticket, insurance, perhaps my vaccinations and that is all. The lecture and outreach phase, have not yet been paid for...

If indeed my goal is to abandon fear and put my trust in God's providence, then I need to dwell in a place of calm, trusting, and thanksgiving. In attempting to give up control to Papa God, I realize that I can only do what I can do. Papa God and people will not judge me for that, and most of the time people want to help (if you're brave enough to voice your needs, that is). My responsibility is to trust God's providence and plan for me and to be thankful for the funds He has already provided for me, asking that He will multiply them and having the faith that He will answer that request. I am also working as much as I can to earn money by working for my parents, selling things on eBay and Craigslist, and having garage sales... Time is just running out.

So, even though I feel very self-conscious and undeserving of donations, I'd like to voice my needs right now and ask that if you have any interest in missions or if you feel a pull to donate to my mission and what God is doing through me and through YWAM Herrnhut with art, then give. Give only what you feel is necessary or what you are able to, but give from a prayerful state.

My intention is to keep all of you involved in my journey, and if you'd like to invest into my life then you will have a connection through my blog posts filled with photos, music, and video, having a part in what God is doing in Germany, Africa, and beyond! Your investment will be will be appreciated more than you know and I am very grateful.

I am meant to go to Germany, to learn to serve and give of myself for the greater good. I am merging my stream into the river and letting my life be pulled by the rapids into a place of no control, because God's plan is bigger and better than I could ever ask or imagine. The Bible says so in Ephesians 3:20 (NIV) "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout ALL generations, for ever and ever! Amen."

Here's also a passage that I love that states Papa God knows what He's doing in my life, in our lives. Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) " 'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.' " He is all that is needed. He is the Prince of Peace and I am in His favor.

Ask God if you have a part to play in supporting my mission or YWAM in general. Ask in what way you can give. Whether it be your time as a Prayer Warrior or as an Investor for financial needs, whatever you feel led to do. We are all in our own stream, and this is an opportunity to participate in the river.

Peace and love to you all and numerous blessings to all who read! 

Love, Hannah
