HELLO!

These past few weeks have been really busy getting ready to lead our discipleship training school this September. I'm being trained but often times you need to just learn how to lead while doing it. I've been scheduling speakers to come and teach different topics, like how to hear God's voice and the Father-heart of God. It's been a really good learning time for me. I'm excited about the upcoming school. Right now we only have 7 students, which is awesome but I would like to see more students rise up and want to come to a discipleship school to be trained for full time missions, ether in other country's or right here in San Francisco! I would love to see people come here that have a passion for the City of San Francisco and want to grow  closer to God in this time. We are so blessed to have a student from Korea coming here for our school and someone from Vietnam is applying as well. I'm super excited if this is what God has for our Vietnamese friend to join us for the school. We as a base has committed going to Vietnam for outreach's , I myself has gone three times , practically in every city in Vietnam but our base has gone for 12 years now. We've even sent out a missionary to Hanoi.
So you can understand our excitement for a student coming here from a closed country that we've spent years committed to praying for. What an answer to prayers!!!! He can make such a difference in his homeland with some disciplining training. :))))
Please keep our accepted seven students in your prayers as they are preparing to come here, finances is always something trying to stop the Lords calling of them coming here. Please pray as well that we get an over abundance of students wanting to make a difference and applying for our school! We would love to have 10-20 students!!!!! Would that be amazing to have 20 world changers here!!!!????

Please also join me in prayer about ways to reach our Vietnamese community right here in San Francisco!!!! I am actually having a game night TONIGHT, that's right tonight!!!! Ive spent the last couple months prayer walking Little Saigon , which it literally 5 blocks away from our base. In little Saigon there is only restaurants and Salons.I have also tried to practice my Vietnamese (all 7 words i know) by going to the restaurants but that got expensive, :) So I decided to try a game night to reach the Vietnamese , We went around asking people to write in Vietnamese a game night flier. Then we went around passing them around to everyone in Little Saigon, asking people to meet us in Quickly which is located in Little Saigon. This morning we interceded for our time tonight and prayed that people actually show up and want to play games and of course teach me some more Vietnamese!!!! :)
Please keep tonight in your prayers, that this will open the door into the Vietnamese community and we can start making a difference in our own City!!!! This is my heart, and hopefully we can start a full time ministry!
Thank you for reading about my missionary life in SF! If you ever want a tour of the city,Tenderloin or YWAM please feel free to call me! I would love to show off my wonderful city and beautiful friends that come in daily to our drop in center!

Prayer Requests:

  • I have been having awful pain in my stomach lately so last week I went to the doctors and had an ultrasound. They found gallstones in my gallbladder and my liver was infected as well.My Dr. Says I don't need surgery to remove the Gallbladder yet but since I have allot of stones, she is afraid they we get infected easier. I don't want the surgery,but I don't want to be overseas for three months and have an episode. That would be awful!  I'm trying to not eat fatty foods to avoid irritation. Please pray that the stone dissolve by them selves and I don't need surgery! Here is a good website to describe what I have and some good natural ways to get better!!!

  • I am having surgery for my cyst on top of my right foot. August 29th I will be having my cyst removed. I have had it for about two year now and it becomes very bothersome, mainly when i wear certain shoes that rub against it. I have to wear flats to avoid irritation which is terrible to walk in around the city . Please pray for quick healing after the surgery, so I can walk to and from work!
THANKS :)
