By now I'm sure you've heard - I'm leaving for Belize!
Why, you may ask? To do a Discipleship training school with Youth With a Mission = YWAM DTS. What's that? It's like a 5 month bible school, designed to train and equip Christian leaders to take the love of Christ to the World. It has three phases. First the lecture phase, 12 weeks of school and training in Belize, and second, the Outreach phase - two month mission trip (could be anywhere in the world). The third phase is an internship, which is determined by the student's passions, interests, and skills. It also could be anywhere in the world.
After all that, there are secondary schools. My hope is to attend a Birthing Assistant School in Australia; in which, I'd actually become a practicing and professional midwife. I am honestly just so excited about all the possibilities! There are so many doors this first phase, the DTS, opens up.
But really, I am mostly excited about getting to know God more. It's been a rough year, and my faith has been very tested. I'm excited to go and get some rest and respite with Jesus; and then hopefully, launched into missions fulltime! That is my dream, but the desire of my heart is to Love God with my whole heart.
So that is why, Ann Hefflinger is leaving for Belize tomorrow. To go to School, to chase her dreams, to answer her calling, and to follow God.
I'm learning as always, to "Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding...in all your ways, acknowledge him, and he will guide you." Proverb 3:5-6.
Well, here's to the shortest and probably least informative update ever - but it's late, and I'm tired, and I have a BIG day ahead of me tomorrow! I love you all. Thank you so much for your love, support and prayers.
I will try to update as much as possible...but don't expect too much. I'll be enjoying those palm trees! ;)
