That is one of the main things that I have been learning here at YWAM DTS. I have been so concerned with what God wants me to do rather than what he wants me to be. I thought that I would be coming here to DTS to get some great bible truths about my relationship with Christ. Right after that, I thought I would be going to Haiti to take those truths to the Christ hungry Haitians. But Abba is shattering those plans extremely fast. When people receive a passion for a nation, like myself, we want to do something right [View Full Entry]

Early next week I will write a detailed entry of how amazingly Youth With A Mission Discipleship Training Sschool is going. J Right now though, I would really appreciate all of your prayers. All of us students and staff met to hear about the details of each outreach which will take place from December 30-February 20 as part of DTS. The two choices are Peru or India. Each one of us students will be individually praying about which country God would like to use us in to fulfill his will. We just went over the details and will be praying and [View Full Entry]

As I sit here in my extremely empty room, I think back on the last two years that I have gone by in my life. Those two years, I have grown extremely comfortable in my everyday life. Going to work, having a very comortable place to live with my own room with my own space. I've had 2 amazing jobs that I would receive paychecks from every two weeks. I am so used to having money come into my bank account and having money at the tip of my fingers and at my disposal. Now, in 4 days, I am doing [View Full Entry]

This past April, I took a little road trip to visit Pam Plasier in Sioux Falls, South Dakota to give her some supplies for her next trip to Haiti. It was a nice day so we decided to take a walk. As we were walking down the dirt country road, she said "Kirstin, Mike and I met with the Mission Haiti board and I have some news." "This doesn't sound good" I replied. She then proceeded to tell me that the Mission Haiti board has decided and now requires all long-term missionaries going to minister with Mission Haiti for 6 months [View Full Entry]

Sunday night it rained so hard. The next morning it was still cloudy, but the sun was starting to shine through the grey clouds. As I looked at the water from the night before on the leaves that are now clean, it reminded me of something. Yesterday, the leaves were dusty and thirsty. Today though, they are clean and fed, no longer thirsty. That is exactly what Christ does for us and continues to do for us. He cleansed us of our sins and washed us clean. He gives us his word so that whenever our souls are hungry and thirsty, [View Full Entry]

Arriving in Haiti and seeing all the people that I met eight months ago, reminded me of why I am called there. To rekindle the relationships and pour the truth of Christ into those people. I felt so at home when I was there, I belong and feel that I am making a huge difference in that village of Petite Rivier. Christ through me is changing so many lives and I feel so privilaged to be a part of his plan to help that place. But God didn't use not just me of course, the whole team was key to change [View Full Entry]

Before the actual trip started, God was working. On Thursday, I received a check for $100 in my name from one of my supporters. I thought that it was strange that the check would come in my name since I had told all of my supporters to make it out to Mission Haiti. The check also came with a note "Use this for the Lord's work." I thought "Ok Lord, time for you to lead me, what do I do with this? Do I deposit it and then send a check to Mission Haiti? What do you want me to do [View Full Entry]

As I was reading the last entry for the trip to Haiti, I realized that I did not put in the dates. Some of you have said to me in person "Oh my, you're leaving for a year already?" That is my mistake. I will be leaving for this upcoming trip this Saturday, June 13th. I will be gone for until June 21st. Sorry to have confused you all! I am hoping and praying that I will be going to Haiti for my year of ministry in the Spring of 2010. So to answer anyones question, no I am not leaving [View Full Entry]

That's right, I leave in 5 days! I am so excited to get back to the Mission Haiti orphanage and all the people of Ti-Rivier. This trip will be different then the other trips I have been on. The two other times that I have gone, they have been medical trips. I don't have a medical professional so while it was a great experience, I didn't feel like I was being used to my highest potential. This trip, Mission Haiti will be partnering with Youth With A Mission Minneapolis. There is a youth group from Seattle, WA going through YWAM Mpls [View Full Entry]
