I Have All That I Need
2020 has been a ride with a lot of highs and lows. As I reflect on the last six months I see the ways God has answered my prayers. I often come back to Psalm 23:1 (NLT) :
The LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need.
Praise God that in the chaos of Covid and all that entails, our Father is the One who leads us in the unknown, guides our every step & remains our Hope throughout it all. Every single need we have is met and fulfilled in Him. As I meet with youth who really struggle with anxiety, bake with students online and pray with my small group, God is the One shepherding us.
Here's What We've Been Up To!
God is using the Work Friends podcast to reach approximately 100 youth, young adults and parents as we sit with guests and talk about suffering, caring well of ourselves and others, and much more, all being centred around faith.
Playing volleyball once a week at Between the Lines has been a blast and another way to connect with students.
We hold a lunch drop-in three times a week to provide students a place to eat, hangout and shoot some hoops! We’re able to have great conversations here and have met a lot of new students because of it!
As leaders, we felt the responsibility to do what we can to take care of our students emotionally, spiritually and physically. We recreated our weekly leadership program to focus on spiritual AND physical growth.
Exciting News!
As of January 1, 2021, I have taken a bigger leadership position in becoming the Campus Life Director, overseeing and leading school ministries. Because of the pandemic, this position looks a bit different than it has in the past. Nevertheless, God has given me wisdom, clarity and creativity in how to best serve students. I look forward to what's to come!
Work Friends!
This has been SO FUN to create and God has been good and gracious in the way He is directing Work Friends. This season we’re chatting with people from different walks of life to hear their stories and how God has been faithful throughout. Click the button below to listen to one of our latest episode!
Prayer:
- Our drop-in team needs wisdom! God has opened so many doors to have great conversations with students, and they are ready to talk about the painful things they're experiencing. We need His guidance, grace and discernment.
- Peace that only God can give; many students are wrestling with anxiety and uncertainty about the future.
- The financial needs for personal deputation and the general account will be met at Youth Unlimited YFC North Perth's virtual fundraiser.
