Hello Lovely People!!
Oh how I miss all of you! Can't tell you how many times my heart has longed to see you all and hear all things the Lord is teaching you! Thanks so much for the wonderful updates that keep us involved in this wonderful community that God has used so powerfully in our hearts. You all are a blessing to each other and such a blessing to me...I love you.
Okay, so down to business...thought I would give you a bit of an update here...cannot believe what an amazing summer we had here at Qwanoes! I never expected to see the hand of God move the way that He did or so powerfully in the hearts of our staff. We saw so many foundations laid for incredible change! Praise the Lord! So many transformations that are foundational, not experiential...praise the Lord! Many staff have allowed the Lord to strip them of the grip the world has had on them and draw them to Himself and let Him rebuild them into the young men and women He is calling them to be. WOW!! So incredible! Time after time the Lord has answered our prayers for this summer...from the Spring when our team began to form, the Lord placed the desire on our hearts to see our summer shift from a focus on decision to a focus on discipleship. God spoke to our hearts and told us to back off trying to "do" this and get down on our knees...we watched Him powerfully sweep through this place and accomplish so much more "than we could ask or imagine." Praise the Lord!
As for me, the Lord has taught me so much about ministry; and though the past year was a difficult one at times, I would do it all again to see the fulfillment of what that time was for. Praise the Lord!
I thought I would let you know where the Lord has been leading me recently and ask you to pray with me into that...I got accepted into Moody Theological Seminary for a Master's in Spiritual Formation & Discipleship which begins in January! So incredible how the Lord has fashioned my heart for this and opened the doors to head this direction. I'm not sure how the next few years will play out as I would love to remain at Qwanoes while working on my MA. If you would pray with me into that I would appreciate it so much! I'm praying about a place to live right now...I have money for school but not housing and hoping that someone in Chicago would like to open their home! We'll see how it all plays out, but for now I'm excited to continue with Qwanoes through the Fall and then...CHICAGO!!!
Blessings,
Amanda
