Hello everyone!
My name is Irene and I am a student in the Fire & Fragrance DTS (Discipleship Training School) with YWAM Kona (Youth With A Mission)!
YWAM is an organization where we equip and train young people to live out the calling the Lord has assigned to them, and then take it into the nations! The motto, so evidently represented at YWAM, is “To know God, and to make Him known”, which is exactly what we do! To be discipled, and to disciple. You learn about the opportunities waiting on the other side of your “yes”, ways to serve wholeheartedly in different communities, how to go deeper in your relationship with Jesus, the permission to say YES to whatever the Lord is asking you to do, and how worthy He is to lay your life down for the kingdom!
In the past seven weeks, my eyes have been being opened to not only the brokenness of the world, but that there is a solution- the Gospel! Up until I stepped onto this campus in October, I had goals and dreams that aligned with what the normal “American dream life” would look like to the world, but at the end of the day my heart and soul were still unsatisfied. I was consumed by materialism, addiction, selfishness, unhealthy relationships, and an idea of a life that would only leave me wanting more of the wrong things. These are common characteristics this generation is consumed by. It wasn’t until I truly accepted and understood the extravagant and abounding love of Jesus, that I learned the trajectory of my life would be completely changed for His good and for His glory! I am learning how important discipleship, community, education, and accountability in my walk with the Lord really is, and I hope to carry out a passion for discipleship, carrying a missional mindset, and pursuing true intimacy with Jesus!
I give all of the Glory to God for gripping my heart and telling me to “GO”. He has such a beautiful way of hand-writing our stories!
That all being said, to be able to make this commitment to pursuing this current mission for Kenya and any future missions, I am in need of fellow brothers and sisters who want to help fight for a change in this generation, and partner with God in doing so! This is an opportunity that means so much to me in every way, and a life that won’t just benefit myself, but so many others!
Please prayerfully consider partnering with me financially to help support me in the calling the Lord has placed over my life! I am believing for a change in Gen Z, America, and all of the nations until all have heard the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
I am in need of $1,500 to pay off the unexpected extra expenses for the outreach portion of my program. The expenses will cover:
• Housing
• Transportation
• Food
• Children/young adult ministry costs
I would be so blessed to have you be a part of my journey and community, through prayer and/or finances!
Truly any amount will help—Even $5 would make the biggest difference. Please reach out if you have any questions or would like to hear more about where the money is going/how God has been working in this special season!
With love,
Irene Son
