God's Calling

So I spent 6 months with a missions organization called Youth With a Mission and these are photos from that time. Youth With a Mission or YWAM runs a school called a Discipleship Training School or DTS and in this school you spend 3 months training and then 3 months in a foreign country doing missions.

People who are anywhere from 18 to 30 usually do a DTS. However the reason I love YWAM is that it gives kids who just graduate High School direction and shows them Gods call on their life. In a society where most of our kids that graduate our youth groups will lose their faith in College, I think that our kids need direction and vision most of all.

People that come out of a DTS are fired up for God and want to follow his call on their life. This is the reason I like YWAM and this is why I am going back to join the staff at the YWAM base that is Holmsted Manor.

My flight for England leaves on Sept. 4. If you want to know more about what Im doing let me know. I am sending out letters letting people know what I need and what Im doing.

Community

So these are photos of different parties we recently had, to celebrate peoples birthdays. The community here at Holmsted is really close. We dont need much of a reason to have a party.

London/Cambridge with Family and friends

This is my friend Sian Tomlin and this is Cambridge University. I know Sian from Camp St Christopher, and when Sian and her friends came to Charleston.

This is what they call punting in Cambridge its pretty awesome.

Isaac Newton supposedly designed this bridge so that it didnt need any screws or bolts.(The bridge has screws in it now they put them in when the bridge started to get old.)

The sun was out that day, the first day it had been out in a long time.
