Responsibility

This week I have been in training for Discipleship Training School staff. It’s amazing to think that 2 years ago I was attending a DTS and had no thought of ever staffing one. Go d has a funny way of leading you to places where you least expected to be.
The whole idea of discipling people makes me a little nervous but anything is possible with the strength of Jesus Christ. This week has been really good. Are speaker this week is Art Collins and he has been teaching us to really act what we say. The importance of integrity in discipleship is key. I am learning how much of a responsibility discipleship is and I’m not even in the process of discipling anyone yet. But I know that God will be with me every step of the way and if I walk with Him and obey Him then I can’t go wrong.
Are DTS starts in less than 2 weeks and so far we have 10 students. 3 are from Mexico, 1 from Canada and 6 are American. God has good things in store for this DTS and I am excited to see God move and work in the students’ lives. Even in the staff. It should be a great time of learning and stretching for me personally and probably for the rest of the staff and students. Please pray that I will be able to show Godly character to each and every student. God Bless.

Smiling faces, the sound of laughter and a museum! When I was in school, I found museums so boring. I could focus for a little bit but it did not take long to feel bored and want to leave.
Circulo Andante (the children’s ministry here in Tijuana), decided to bless the children that attend with the opportunity to go to a museum, with their parent’s permission of course. Around 10 staff from the YWAM base and about 20 kids ranging from the age of 4 to 12 from Circulo Andante, left in 3 vans to go to the Tijuana Science Museum. Only one student had ever been to a museum before, so everyone was excited and it was extremely hard to keep the students from running in the museum.
The kids took part in almost every display. There were displays showing how to make energy, bubbles, human anatomy exhibits, music, mechanics, sea life and many others. There were smiles on every child’s face, none of them could contain their happiness. To end the museum experience, everyone got to see a 3D movie about dinosaurs. We all loved it! After that we had a quick bite to eat and headed back to drop the children off. Many of the smaller ones fell asleep on the drive back and one little girl, Nancy; I had to carry back to her house. Hopefully the museum accomplished more than just bringing happiness to children. I hope it planted ideas in their minds that expanded the possibilities of what they can do with their futures. Lord willing, this experience helped break the chains of poverty. Thank you to all who helped and prayed! You made a difference!
