Over the past two months, I've had the privilege of partnering with the Lord in many different areas here in YWAM Kona. My work here has focused on three main areas:
- Discipling young women in their walk with Christ
- Preparing for a tour across the Netherlands and Norway
- Helping lead prayer and worship both on campus and with my team
For the past three months, my co-leader Amira and I have been planning a tour across the Netherlands and Norway. We’ll be leading a team of nine women, partnering with locals in each country to support what the Lord is already doing in these nations.
Our journey will begin in Amsterdam, where we will spend the first two weeks. During this time, we’ll partner with the YWAM base, working with the red-light district, the prayer room, and international/refugee ministries. We’re excited to come alongside what this ministry has been building for years and help fulfill the Lord’s vision for this city.
Next, we’ll fly to Bergen, where we’ll spend two days. We’ll host a worship session in the town center, inviting the local community into the love of Jesus. I had the privilege of doing this last year in Norway, and we saw many people touched by the power of God.
From Bergen, we’ll take a ferry to Sogndal, Norway, where we’ll spend two weeks in this small university town, partnering with another YWAM base. We’ll have the privilege of working with international youth from Syria, Afghanistan, and Eritrea, as well as hosting worship and prayer nights, mini-conferences, and more. We’ll also have the opportunity to partner with a ministry from Bergen for a few days as they host an event at the university, sharing the truth of the Gospel and inviting college students to step into the fullness of life with Jesus!
Our next stop will be Arendal, where we’ll partner with a local church and their youth group. We’ll have the opportunity to speak at the youth group, serve the church, and host events in the home where we’ll be staying. Our goal during this month is to GATHER—gathering the youth of Norway and inviting them to step into their identities as sons and daughters of God.
We’ll then move on to Kristiansand for about a week, where we’ll partner with another church and engage in a variety of ministries. We’ll preach at youth nights, host worship, and work alongside other local ministries.
Finally, we’ll conclude our tour in Halden, Norway, where we’ll partner with a local church to gather youth and contribute to the fire the Lord is pouring out over the youth of Norway!
Now, I’m reaching out to you with a heartfelt request for partnership.
I am just $1,000 away from fully funding this outreach, and I believe this is a significant moment in what God is doing in the Netherlands and Norway. The work we’re doing—discipling young women, leading worship, partnering with local ministries, and sharing the love of Jesus—has the potential to bring lasting transformation. But I can't do this alone. I need your support to step fully into this mission and fulfill the vision God has for this outreach.
Would you consider partnering with me to help make this a reality? Your contribution—whether a one-time donation or a monthly commitment—will directly impact lives and bring the light of Christ to those who need it most.
If you feel led to give, here are the different ways you can support this outreach.
Together, we can see God move powerfully in these nations!
