I wanted to send an update about my time here at YWAM Kona and where I am even financially before we leave for Brazil. Thank you guys for supporting me in prayer and even supporting me previously financially in previous seasons. The school so far here has been so good. We have seen the Lord move in such incredible ways, and are continuing to see that! We have had several meetings where the Holy Spirit has broken out and even had some "rumblings" of revival here on the campus! Overall God is moving in an unusual way on this campus, and has really been brooding over us. It has been such an exciting time here at this campus! I personally have been focusing on my little team and preparing them before we leave for Brazil. Most of my team are young believers and God is transforming there lives at an accelerated pace! The Lord told me that he was going to give me young ones that would have "fiery hearts", but need intentional discipleship. And I can say it truly has been that!! My sweet little team are "diamonds in the rough" that God is cleaning and polishing to use for His glory (I would love for my students to be covered in prayer before we leave for outreach Dec 16. There names are: Meagan, Diego, Jacob, Lindy, Selah, Brynne, Hally, Hannah E., Hannah N. I also would love prayer for myself and co-leader Hunter). Please pray for continued breakthrough/ deliverance for my students. And, that God would bind our team together in love and unity. Also I would love prayer that my co-leader and I would flow together in the spirit and would walk in love and unity for one another as we lead this team.
I have such HIGH expectation for what the Lord is going to do with my team in Brazil! We will be there before and after The Send and I believe we will be apart of many salvations and divine encounters of God to change people's lives in Brazil. As a team we have felt lead to work in the red-light district, hardcore street evangelism, working with local churches/body of Christ, and helping other believers step into there call as missionaries to there nation and other nations of the world. We will be going to 4 different major cities in Brazil. We will start in Rio for 3 weeks, head to Curitiba for 3 weeks, Sao paulo for the Send, and then Fortaleza. We will be in all major cities!!! God is going to move!!!!! We will be gone from Dec 16- March 14
As for my finances I need about $1200 more to be completely set until March 14. I have the money for my flights/food etc., but still need money for medical expenses, items needed to purchase before trip, money for trip while there, etc. It has been honestly been such a miracle how all the other expenses have come in! I just was able to finish paying my last deposit of $2800 for travel expenses last night! I am almost there! I would love for prayer to see if you would feel lead to help me get the last $1200 before I leave. If anyone feels lead to do that you can either contact my mom Donna Hixon. Or you can pay pal me at racheljoy999@aim.com. If you would like more information let me know!
Thank you Covenant Life so much for your continued prayers and support! I am looking forward to tell you all that God will be doing in Brazil. God bless you all.
