South Africa to New Zealand

Exalted:

Flood Week

During "Flood Week," we went to schools, townships, hospitals, nursing homes, red-light districts, and many other areas. It was a week of intense outreach, and we saw God move in extraordinary ways. In the schools, students were eager to hear about Jesus, and many asked for prayer and guidance. In the townships, we encountered people desperate for hope, and through conversations and prayer, lives were touched and transformed. At the hospitals and nursing homes, we shared God’s love through words of encouragement, singing, and prayer for healing, which brought so much joy to the patients. The week reminded me of how powerful God’s presence is when we step into obedience and meet people where they are.

Woven: Red light district ministry

On Thursday nights, we've witnessed God powerfully moving in the lives of prostitutes and Nigerian gang members. It's been incredible to see His love and transformation at work. We’ve seen hardened hearts soften as people experience the unconditional love of God, and it’s inspiring to see how even the darkest situations are not beyond His reach. One particular woman shared how she had felt forgotten by everyone, but after prayer, she said she felt a renewed sense of hope and worth. We’ve also had moments of deep intercession as we pray for their families and futures, believing that God has a beautiful plan for each of their lives.

Club Evangelism

Every Friday night, we head to the clubs to preach the gospel, and we've seen amazing things happen! From healings to salvations, recommitments, and powerful moves of the Holy Spirit, God is showing up in mighty ways. Just the other week, my friend Anna and I saw four girls give their lives to Jesus near the clubs. These girls shared how they’d been searching for peace and purpose but had never found anything lasting until that night. We also had the chance to pray for and minister to many others, including bouncers, bartenders, and people just walking by. This ministry has shown me that God’s light shines brightest in the darkest places, and no one is too far gone to encounter His love.

The Send: An event to call people into their missional calling

This week, I returned from New Zealand, where we witnessed God move in incredible ways. We had the privilege of staying with a dear friend who graciously hosted us during our time there. While in New Zealand, we served at The Send, reconnected with past students and friends from the past two years, and poured into the local community we were with. At The Send, we saw 1,000 Kiwis commit to pursuing missions in their future!

It was such an honor to witness the fruit of two years of preparation and touring across New Zealand.

One of the most beautiful moments was seeing young people step forward, laying down their fears and choosing to say “yes” to God’s call. The event wasn’t just about missions; it was about personal revival and seeing the body of Christ united with a passion for the lost. I left New Zealand filled with hope for what God is doing in the islands and with a greater burden to pray for continued discipleship and growth in the lives of those who made commitments.

With just two weeks left, I’ll soon find out which country I’ll be going to and who I’ll be leading this team with. I’m so excited for what’s ahead, but I would love your prayers during this time.

Here are a few specific ways you can pray:

• Finances: That the Lord would provide for flights, housing, and food.

• Direction: For clarity and peace about where I’ll be leading and who I’ll be leading with.

• The Students and Team: For the incoming students, my future team, and the girls I’ll be discipling—that their hearts would be prepared and open to all that God has for them in this season.

  
  

Your prayers and support mean so much to me. Thank you for partnering with me on this journey!
