Thank you all so much for your prayers and financial support. This was without a doubt, the best week of my life. I was able to pour out all my years of training and experience with the group of people I've most wanted to encourage.
Since I first went to China in 1984, I knew that I wanted to make a global impact with my life, but now I know how I will do it...by encouraging individuals and teams to discover and live their calling and passion among the unreached. Let me give a few highlights of the trip and you'll see what I mean.
HIGHLIGHTS
-spoke to over 70 young people from 11-18 and encouraged them to discover and live their God-given passions.
-Administered the Clifton Strengths Finder to 35 teens and adults
-Individually coached and encouraged 25 teens, adults and families who are living and serving in the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, and Europe.
-Arranged several potential future trainings with teams and specific leaders.
-Arranged future individual coaching sessions with workers from various regions.
August 24-27- I'll be attending a conference with YWAM Los Angeles called the Global Target Network. I'm an associate staff member in this ministry which seeks to help YWAMers transition after they've arrived home by helping them serve more effectively in their churches as well as encouraging them and coaching them to continue living what they've learned during their DTS or other YWAM ministry school.
I covet your prayers as I seek to follow up with all the people I met in on my trip and schedule a time to work with them.
Thank you again for your continued support and please let me know if I can encourage you in any way to discover and live your God-given dreams.
All of God's blessings,
Tim
