P.U.S.H


Pray Until Something Happens!

That's our motto! We need REALLY NEED your prayers. We realize it's easy to say "sure I'll pray for you" and then be too busy to follow through. We have been there, but God has really challenged us over the years to committ to prayer! We are asking you, our prayer partners to please remember to pray for us. Numerous times we see in the Bible ferverent, wholhearted, crying out to God! We ask for you to intercede on our behalf before the Father for the following...

1. Praise God for discernment for Sarah regarding taking on the Media position.

2. We have not seen much movement in our finances. We understand it's a tough time in the economic status in the US. We trust that God will continue to provide for our every need through generous, faith filled giving. Please pray for us to see a monthly increase for Noah, money towards upcoming outreaches, VISA health check & insurance fees and for a used vehicle.

3. We are still in need of a vehicle. Join us in praising God for the money that we have been given (thank you!), but we still need another $500. Please P.U.S.H with us in prayer so we can see breakthrough in this area. Pray for favor with used car dealers and for the right vehicle to suit our family's needs to come along!

4. Spiritual Warefare. We are really feeling the 'heat' these days. The Bible is quite clear that we are in a spiritual battle and we feel it! Please pray for us to be rooted in prayer, the word, and for us to 'wear our armor each day'. Pray for our health, and bind up the enemy in prayer over our health.

5. Pray for Josh as he teaches this week in the BSN. He teaches on "The Importance of Knowing Truth" for 2 hours. Please pray for clarity in organizing his thoughts and for it to be motivational for the students.

6. VISAS. We are applying for a two year student VISA. Josh will be taking a course while he is on staff called, The Basic Leadership School. We started this course a year ago, but due to visas and planning, we post-poned it until we were officially under the student visa. We have health checks for this visa this week. Our current visa is up in a week. Please pray for a smooth process in submitting all paperwork, favor with the Australian government and for finances to cover the school and health checks.

media, media, media


After four grueling months of discerning and praying through the invitation to help lead the media department, I have finally reached a decision! Yup, that's right, I have decided to no longer be official staff of the BSN and BELT. I will still teach on the BSN on occasion and be involved with BELT outreaches (with Josh), but the majority of my time will be spend co-leading the media department here at YWAM Perth. It's a big change, but a great fit. The media department supports all ministries and training schools within YWAM Perth. From web, to print, to video, Media is equip to develop pieces in all forms of 'media'. I will be helping cast vision, oversee creative direction on projects, teach, and take on a few projects from time to time.

What about Noah?! Great question! I will only be working in Media about 14 hours each week, and it's the 'family' style of YWAM Perth that allows for the kids to be around. From time to time Noah will come along with and other time's he'll be at home with Daddy. Pray for us as we find this balance! If you have any other questions about this new role please let us know, we are happy to answer any questions. Be sure to check out the YWAM Perth Website for a flavor of the 'creative' style of YWAM Perth (see links on the right below).

BSN is underway!


Sunday officially marked the beginning of the Bible School for the Nations. This year we have 11 students. The overall word for the school this year comes from Daniel 11:32. See the image below for a visual. It's our hope that this year paradims are shifted, new revelation comes and that each student falls deeper in love with thee incredible God who is so worthy of glory! They are excited to learn the word better so they can better communicate it to others, whahoooo!!!!

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.
