Hello friends It's Ashley!
Recently God has called me into ministry with Youth With A Mission (YWAM). I completed my Discipleship Training School (DTS) in the fall of 2023 at a base in Louisville, KY. During my time there, I had the opportunity to dive deeper into scripture and grow my relationship with Christ, pray for the nations, and serve the community. We went on to serve communities in Brazil and the profound love the Father has for them all.
I am currently headed to YWAM Furnace in New Zealand to attend the School of Worship. The School of Worship (SOW) exists to equip worshipers whose hearts burn to lead the nations into the presence of God using music and song. Our goal is to dive deep into the heart of worship, put practical skills in your hands, and give you a Biblical understanding of who, how, and why we worship. I will attend a 12 week lecture phase followed by a 9 week outreach phase, where we will serve long-term workers, come alongside existing ministries, and can help pioneer new initiatives.
Please partner with me in prayer as I say "yes" to what God has for me in this next season. The word that I felt the Lord has spoken over me for this time away is abide. He has been continually affirming the truth that He is our refuge and a provider through your prayers and financial support. (“In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.” – 1 Corinthians 9:14 ESV)
Any financial support will fund the outreach portion of my schooling as well as any living expenses while I am away. At this time we don't know where outreach will be but it will cost up to 7,000NZD per person (about 4,300USD). I will updated you all as more information comes in.
Blessings!
Ashley
