Hello friends!

My name is Lillian (Lily) Uber, and I'm going through an exciting season of life. After completing my sophomore year at Liberty University, where I was studying Family and Child Development, I felt the Lord leading me into a season of transition. Though it wasn’t part of my original plan to take a gap year, God has been faithfully showing me His purpose through it. This past summer, I had the incredible opportunity to spend two months at the largest YWAM (Youth With A Mission) base in the world, serving with kids in Hawaii and witnessing the joy of missions firsthand. Through much prayer and reflection, I now feel called to take the next step: joining a Discipleship Training School (DTS) with YWAM Furnace New Zealand!

Starting January 29th, I’ll be flying to Tauranga, New Zealand, for a five-month program dedicated to growing deeper in my relationship with God and learning how to share His love with others. The first three months will be filled with lectures, mentorship, and hands-on learning about the foundations of the Gospel. After that, I’ll join a two-month outreach (location TBD), serving communities and putting what I’ve learned into action. I’ll return home July 3rd, prayerfully transformed and equipped for whatever God calls me to next.

As I step into this season of obedience, I’m reminded how vital prayer, support, and community truly are. I would be so grateful for your prayers over my journey and preparation. If you feel led to support financially, the cost for my DTS is approximately $8000 (first half is due by January 29th). Please don’t feel any pressure, your encouragement and prayers mean the world to me!

Thank you for walking alongside me in this journey. Your love, support, and prayers make all the difference.

With gratitude,

 Lillian Uber
