New Direction

Well here I am in Sugarcreek, OH again. Sitting with a friend talking about our YWAM base in Denver and working in missions is really getting me excited for my next step in life. God has opened doors ups for me to go to Mazatlan, Mexico! I would be going on staff with YWAM for at least a year. At this base they are starting a new WISE school (the school I just attended in Denver) and have asked that some of us would come out and help them get started! Until the last few months I had never had a passion for Mexico but now my heart is ready to do anything I can for this nation. My friends that are already on staff down there have really encouraged me and inspired me in my walk with Christ as well. I believe that not only will I be able to make a difference in the lives of students and people all over the world, God is going to be making a huge difference in my life. If you've known me growing up and now I'm sure you've been able to see the difference God has made in me already. I'm excited to see what adventures He has for me next and how I will be growing.

So with this new step I am writing my support letters, filling out my application, and once again spending my last few months with friends and family before I go. Saying good bye to my friends and family has to be the hardest part of all of this but every mission from God has sacrifices we have to make of ourselves. We can't hold on to everything we have in this world and try to serve at the same time. Some are blessed to be called to their home towns but I am not one of them. I am blessed to be called to all the world. To be ready to get up and go whenever God gives the word to whereever He leads. It's an exciting life that I believe I will be living for a long time yet.

Prayer Requests for Mazatlan:

• Finances (I need to raise $600 a month)
• Flight plans
• Guidance when leading the students while I'm on staff
• Clarity as to what my call is there

Prayer Requests for now:

• My focus on ministry here
• Being planted in church (I want a good church family base here)
• Work, I'm doing odds and ends that get me money but not enough to save for future and live off of.

With lots of Love and Prayers,

Tasha
