Accepted!!!

Hello!

I was just sitting here in the coffee shop and thought I'd write
about how things are going!

Last week I filled out an application for a school i plan on
doing in April. This school is a second level YWAM school called,
"Principles in Children and Youth Ministries" and will be held in Buenos Aires
(about 14 hours from Mendoza). I just found out from a staff member (Marcela) that the staff at the Buenos Aires base are already looking forward to having me!

I am very excited about this opportunity and feel that it will greatly
benefit my future plans to start a ministry working with kids. I feel
God has opened up this school as a way for me to gain more knowledge,
understanding, ideas and tools to work with kids!

So, with this said, i could use all of your prayers.
The school costs $850 (lecture phase) and an additional amount for the
outreach (with possibilities of traveling to China, Central America,
or Argentina)

I received an email yesterday saying that i have been accepted!
I would greatly appreciate all your prayers as i walk in faith into
this new journey of going deeper!

Waiting for a miracle,
Carissa

YWAM Conference 2009

So...here's an overview in pictures of the National YWAM Conference!!!









More than my Provider...

It's been way too long since i've written...wow time flies.
Life is going well here in Argentina! God is doing many great things!
I came to the realization the other day that i have the coolest best friend in the world!
God is so great, He provides for my needs beyond what i even ask or need.
It's like, "hey i really could use some new shoes...only days later a girl gives me a pair of shoes!" I am hungry and need something to eat, but haven't been able to go shopping; someone invites me to eat with them. It's so wonderful the way God responds to my needs! i love Him so much!

that's my note of encouragement for you all...God wants to not just provide for our needs, He wants to bless us beyond what we ask or need!
