Youth Street
Well it has been really great being back in Newcastle. I got a couple days to settle in before Youth Street this past Saturday. I am currently on staff with the music team and we are recording one of our bands for the next few Saturdays. It’s pretty amazing, they wrote a song a couple months ago and I’m really impressed. I’ll try to get a sample of it on here as soon as we’re done recording so you can take a listen
January DTS
It’s also been awesome meeting and hanging out with the new January DTS…crazy to think last year at this time I was a DTS student and never could have dreamed all that the Lord would do with me from that point. He is so faithful! A couple of them are from San Diego so its been fun to talk about familiar places….like mexican food hehe.
STS (Staff Training Seminar)
This Tuesday I started my staff training seminar. It’s so good to get learning and just go deeper in God’s truths! The 1st day we talked about mentorship. That we need to be mentored as well as mentor others. I was really blessed because God has already been speaking to me about this specific thing in the last few months before coming back. Being approachable and available for people to ask you questions. Today we had a speaker talk about being positive with eachother. To speak life into situations instead of death. To encourage rather then slander. He gave us an exercise to practice this. He told us to think of someone in soceity today who receives a lot of gossip from others then to find a way to e-mail them and let them know that you’re praying for them and give uplifting words instead of more slander and discouragement. It really opened my eyes to how much influence we can have on eachother and that we need to be aware and alert not to give into that temptation to gossip but to always speak truth not just fact.
Base Day
I also had base day with my YWAM family. Basically it’s a day to come together corporately and worship God with full hearts and hear Him speak. I was asked to sing harmony and seriously it is the most joyful and sweet time with God and family. 1 of the songs was written by the worship leader and it met us all in a powerful way. We have that worship set recorded and we want to specifically record that song again….I’l try to put it on here for you as well
Staff
I’ve started my staff responsibilites and I am really thrilled and excited for all the Lord desires to do in my next year here. I’ve been making contacts with some local coffee shops to do open mics. Also I met a couple people who are connected with the overseer of all the chaplains in Australia. As well as making connections with a base up north who already has a chaplaincy and scripture teaching program. Looks like I’m going to go up there maybe as soon as next month to see how they do things and then incorporate it into our Newcastle public high schools.
Unleashed
Very stoked on this weekend as Unleashed gets going. It’s a city outreach and conference and it draws most of the kids in Newcastle to come hear about God, get saved, and then get plugged into surrounding churches. We’re taking our Youth Street kids this Saturday and I am really looking forward to it!

Prayer Points
- That I would continue to seek the Lord in everything. To have sweet and intimate quiet times with Him and to not rely upon my own strength or understanding. That I would receive all He wants to teach me while I’m in the Staff Training Seminar. For me to be humble and teachable.
- For our Youth Street kids. That they would bring their friends this weekend to Youth Street and Unleashed, and that they would be personally touched and revived as the message is spoken. That there would be many salvations and rededications.
- Good health and energy. That I would remain well.
- The base is in the process of buying property for the 1st time. Please pray that the process would be smooth and that God would provide all the finances for remodeling the building.

If you would like to write me here is my address and I would be really blessed to receive something from you!
