with YWAM; learning, growing, serving & experiencing missions and who God is. I am a bit nervous stepping back into formal education, but I know this is where God is leading. It has been an interesting last few months of packing, saying good-bye, handing over ministry responsibilities and letting God speak to me about the future.

Update from Mission Adventures... I had a great time leading a Mission
Adventures team out to Palumpa, an outback indigenous community here in the Northern Territory from Sept. 17th-23rd. I was the main leader, accompanied by a teacher named Michael and 9 youth from a school in New South Wales. We had a great time doing community service, playing with the local kids and spending time with the missionaries who live there. Check out the pics!
