My whole life I've watched my dad go to different countries and share the love of God. I've always wanted be apart of something amazing. I've always wanted to make a difference someway, somehow. At the beginning of this year God has placed Peru on my heart. After months of praying about what my next steps should be, God showed me YWAM. YWAM is Youth With A Mission. Their goal is to be the word of God and share his love and mercy; to be the hands and feet of Jesus. That's what I wanted to be apart of! I looked up YWAM for Peru and found their Discipleship Training School (DTS). It's 6 intense long months of growing and being the hands and feet of Jesus. The first 3 months in growing as much as you can and growing deeper in your realtionship with God. The last three months is putting into practice what you've learned.
My youth group actually planned a missions trip to Peru in the Summer. We stayed there for 2 weeks. We stayed at the YWAM base and went with their leaders to the inner cities. I was able to see where I would be staying, and exactly what I would be doing. Jesus is so wonderful, he knows excatly how I am. I have to know specifics like that! My parents went with me so they were able to meet the leaders and be more encouraged by my decision!
One of my favorite girls in Peru!

Love, Katie!
