Helloooo Kona

It has been almost a month since moving my life to ywam Kona. Whew. I am loving it so much! So thankful it is part of God's plans for me to be here :-) God had some surprises for me when I got here, and tells me He has more... (how could I NOT be excited?!) My first surprise was being asked to join the leadership team for the Mission Builder ministry that is here. (click on this *What is a Mission Builder?* to get more details). As of now, there are about 90 Mission Builders that range from all ages and come from all over the world. Their purpose is to come for 1-3 months to serve the ywam Kona base with whatever department that needs volunteers (kitchen, grounds, housekeeping, office work, etc). Since ywam Kona is the biggest ywam university in the world, volunteers are very welcomed to help keep the campus running.

With that being said, my job as a Mission Builder leader is to help with the logistics of the program. It pertains to preparing rooms for MB's, laundry, airport pickups and dropoffs, and other tasks. That is the logistics part of my job. Yet, the heart and focus the leaders have is to help bring community and discipleship among the Mission Builders.

This past couple of weeks has seemed a bit of a blur because of all the adjusting to a new place, new personality of a base, new ministry, new everrrything :)) with all this going on, I have been praying about God's purposes and plans for me here, and how long He wants me on the Mission Builder ministry. So far, I know for sure that He wants me on the Leadership Team until the end of June, and will wait for His guidance for my time here after that. He definitely has me trusting Him in new ways :) I have a feeling God has more plans for me while I am here, and am stoked to find out.

If you get the chance, please pray that God will continue to work through me to help build community here. That He can work through me to point people to Jesus with whatever walk of life they come from. And for a continued love for the people He brings into my life.Thanks so much!

That is just a peak into my world! Thanks for reading =)
