Intense Times!!!!!

A reality bomb has been dropped on our school with deadlines for outreach coming up in days. YWAM Mazatlan has put on four of these schools and they have sent teams to Egypt, Morocco, Mexico, Spain, Bolivia, Turkey, Congo, and France. They have never held anyone back from their outreach because they lacked the financial support to go. Now the school has seen some big miracles done at the very last minute and that is where we are at right now, the last minute. We have been trusting God to provide the entire time and now our faith and trust is being pushed more than ever. Many people are waiting on responses and we feel like all our efforts and contacts have been exhausted. Our leaders are stressing out and especially our accountant who is dealing with all of the money and responsibility and I can say that I do not envy her job at all right now. My team is on board with the rest of the school because after the incredible gift we received which has enabled almost all of us to go we brought on another team member and there was a few other costs that came up which has now left us $1,000 shy of taking two of out Mexican teammates. Our deadline was originally today at 2 p.m. which left us in much despair because the minutes were ticking away to a reality of a first that this school has not seen before in not sending anyone on outreach.

We just found out that our deadline has been moved to Monday (4/16) which is good but at the same time I fear that we will have another nail biting day like today. It is crazy because rationally as an entire school it is hard for me to see all the needs: Team Australia $7,000, Team Asia: $20,000, Team Mexico Family: $5,000, and us Team Mexico $1,000 (total: $33,000) come through in a matter of days. Faith is what this organization ahs been built on and this is how they are going to continue. Please be praying for all the needs that are left and for peace to be over this place. I can not say that I have personally been around many situations that seem impossible and have to trust God to make it possible, but I am in a place and ministry where my faith is being stretched. I thank God that my outreach is covered and that I am leaving on Wednesday, but I am in a community where I rejoice with those who rejoice, mourn with those who mourn, and care for those in need. At the end of the day I know that no matter what happens God will be glorified.
