Outreach location

I know what country I am going to, but am not allowed to state the countries we are going to online. So, if you want to know where I am going, please write me at YWAM or email me and I would be happy to tell you all the details. Here is a little story about how the decision was made:

The leaders told us that our team would be split up into two different teams. We were told to pray and ask God for specific direction as to where He wanted us to go. I prayed and God gave me the Scripture about the fields are white unto harvest. Then I had a vision of a beautiful green field with grass knee high. I wrote that down and put ? (country). I thought maybe the field was rice fields, but didn’t have any specific answer of either place. I handed in my paper with the vision and Scripture written down. Later in the evening Ian and Michelle, our DTS leaders, asked me if I would pray about going to (the opposite country). I did a lot of praying and seeking God for specific direction other than what He already told me. I never did get anything.

The next day, Scarlet, another leader, talked to me. She asked if I had made a decision about where I was to go. I told her the vision and Scripture I got and also said that I was willing to go wherever they felt God wanted me to be. That is what I want -- His will in where I go. He knows the people that I would be with and the leader I would be with. He also knows exactly what we will be doing, who we will be ministering to, etc. Scarlet was excited for my answer. She said that all four of the leaders were praying about where each one of us should go, and had very clear discernment that I was to be going to ( ). She said that the vision I had just confirmed to them that I was to go to ( ).

We will be leaving beginning of April and will be returning at the end of June. We will be in the Himalayan mountains. I will be in the heart of the mountains and living with the people in their villages. We ladies will have to wear the women’s cultural dress, so will have to be purchasing clothes once we get into the airport. That will be an interesting experience for me! I am SO looking forward to it! I will keep you posted once I have more information about our trip!
