Receiving Vision For The Future...

Hello friends & family!

In my recent Facebook post, I alluded to there being some news coming. Well, here it is!

In April 2023, YWAM Los Angeles is hosting a secondary school called SOTB:

School of Transformational Business. It is a 6-week dive into what exactly God has to say about business as missions, how to practically form a business plan, & how to launch it. This is practical, as well as spiritual teaching & application in how business can be used in bringing the Gospel to restricted nations, empowering the poor & needy, & leading to transformation of cities & nations. I have been ACCEPTED into the school! In addition, I have been asked by Liz Cochran, one of the founders of the school, international leader in the University of the Nations, & founding member of YWAM India, to be STAFF in the school as well- meaning I would graduate with the ability to go on & LEAD an SOTB school!

As I have been praying & talking with God about the future, He began bringing back to mind my years in property management. I had, at that time, begun to envision transforming communities: here in the U.S. & in cities around the globe. Through business.

Before you wonder if my heart has changed towards missions, & being a missionary, it has not!

In my years traveling through nations such as Malaysia, Japan, India, Mexico, & Columbia, I began to wonder if there couldn't be another way, not only to REACH the communities I was ministering in, but to TRANSFORM them. Empowering them to come out of systems that keep generations tied to debt, trafficking, trauma & more. Could it be that GOD actually has solutions that showcase His compassion, mercy & love? I believe He DOES! And I want to be a continuing part of bringing His heart to every place He leads me- both here & abroad.

This is so beyond what I feel my abilities are, & it requires a faith to see something come to pass that is God-sized. But since WHEN has that ever stopped Him?

I want to invite you PRAY & PARTNER with me!
