new website coming

Hello friends and family, Its been far to long since we used our blog to keep you all updated. We have been using email and mailchimp and it's been working wonderfully. However, to better keep us all connected we see the need to have a website where all our emails and updates can live and weber you can come to see the latest news. We are working at finding the best platform for this as we would love for it to be dynamic and interactive for you. Stay tuned! Warmly, The Seykoras

Tickets Purchased for Nepal

Do we have enough money for airline tickets? YES!

Praise the Lord! We were able to purchase the tickets for our team on Friday! I spent the better part of Friday morning in prayer and then back and forth between class and the directors office organizing the final details for purchasing our tickets.

The question we are faced with -- will we have enough for all of our ground fees? No, not yet, but we are close. We still need a minimum of $2,215 as a family, plus another $2,676 for the rest of our team. Do we have work to do? Absolutely! Do we need to keep praying? Definitely. Will we? YES.

During prayer early Friday morning, I felt like God was leading us as a team to get ready to "work" for the rest of our finances needed to cover our ground fees in Nepal - including internal travel, food, housing and hospitality for guests and hosts. We have began setting up a car washes over the next weekend - strategically hitting two locations at peak hours for cars on Saturday and Sunday next weekend. We will also continue to pray and pray and pray and pray. God has been absolutely amazing in this journey and a few of you have been generous in getting us to Nepal, thank you.

With our tickets bought, there is a new sense of excitement, and urgency, to do all we can to see the remaining finances come in by Jan. 27th. We depart on Jan. 31st for Nepal and after a brief stay in Singapore (Airport that is!), we arrive in Kathmandu on February 1st.

During these short "long" seasons of trusting God for finances and communicating with our partners, we always need to stop and ask the question - "God, what are you teaching us in this time?" Over the past few weeks, we have been reminded of the real sacrifice it is to literally go to the end of the earth and we have been reminded that it is worth it. He is WORTHY of any sacrifice!

Please stand with us to see our ground fees come in soon. Time is ticking!

So what do we do?

We are partnering with YWAM Perth, in Western Australia. We will be staffing the Bible School for the Nations (BSN) and the Biblical Education and Leadership Training ministry (BELT).
"The purpose of the BSN is to mobilize Bible trainers who are growing in their ability to effectively disciple nations. The school seeks to cultivate people of godly character who are deepening in their love for God, and who understand His character and how He brings about His purposes in history." (www.ywamperth.org.au/bsn/)

Our responsibilities with the school will consist of teaching the Bible and mentoring the students. We will also continue to learn a lot ourselves and be stretched as we continue to study the lessons we'll be teaching. Sarah will also be involved with media projects for the school and also for the BELT ministry.

The BELT (Biblical Eduation and Leadership Training) ministry is partnered with the Bible School, and we will be actively involved in this as well. This is the same outreach ministry that we participated with in Papua New Guinea.
The purpose of BELT is to see people groups transformed by the Word of God through empowering community and church leaders who have limited access to Biblical training.

Please see the 'related links' link above and to the right.

Sarah is part of the leadership team for the media department with YWAM Perth. She teaches on the BSN occasionally, and participates in BELT seminars, but her main focus, besides caring for Noah, is media. Medias vision is to serve the many ministries and schools of YWAM Perth. There is consistent need for printed, web and video tools to help further the Kingdom of God! Sarah is responsible for helping give feedback on the many projects that the staff are working on, as well as doing projects her self and teaching the staff from time to time. She really hopes to see Media grow and reach the many visions that God has spoken over the media ministry with YWAM Perth.

be a partner through devoted prayer

Remember when King Hezekiah prayed and God answered him, granting him 15 more years to his life (Is.38:4-6)? We remember the disciples, 'continually devoted to prayer' in Acts1:13-15. The Bible tells us to pray and present our requests to the Father.

The truth is, God hears our prayers and he does respond according to his infinite wisdom. Over the past year, it's been so evident how the Lord has answered the many prayers of our partner's in ministry. At times we've really had to 'press in' and wait on Him, but He is always faithful.

You can play and active role in this ministry by joining our devoted prayer team and seeing nations transformed. Please contact us and we'd be happy to add you to our mailing list!

become a financial partner

All of our monthly fiancial needs with YWAM are met by faith based support. YWAM does not pay us to work. Our work is technically volunteer. When we left our well paying corporate jobs over a year ago, the Lord took care of us through the cheerful giving of individuals and the church. We have faith that God will continue to provide all of our needs. He is faithful.

We are currently trusting for continued montly and quarterly partnerships (individuals and churches) to help us reach our montly budget (50% of our budget goes towards outreach field costs). If you would like to be involved please contact us. A list of our detailed budget is available upon request.

Thank you for your faithful, continued partnerships.
God Bless you as you work along side of us.
