God said "Go", I said "No" What if God asked you to go? To leave everything⎼your house, job, friends and family to follow him into the unknown? What would you say? Well, I can tell you what I said, "NO!"

Plans Have Suddenly Changed, But Don’t Panic My family and I were happy about our next missions adventure. We had an incredible experience in Brazil, several months earlier, as part of our YWAM Tyler training school outreach. Now we were preparing for ministry in Turkey and Spain. Little did we know a viral storm was brewing that would very suddenly, change our plans. Enter the COVID-19 crisis.

Living in community, diving into their relationship with Jesus, and growing stronger as a family was just the beginning of their experience.

The Greatest New Year’s Resolution I Ever Made

You have heard the stories in the Bible. In Genesis, God said to Abram, “Go…”. In Matthew, Jesus calls Simon (Peter) and Andrew and says to them, “Follow me…”. In John, Jesus speaks to the people saying that he is the light of the world and once again invites them to follow him. But these are the stories of people long ago. I grew up thinking the reality of these things happening again is so...

It's surreal, this thing called YWAM! We just finished pioneering the first Family DTS here at YWAM Tyler. It had its challenges, but when you get 22 parents and 43 children together, God's stirring something amazing up! 12 families graduated, and are being sent out into the world forever changed for the better! Some sold their homes, gave up jobs, and said goodbye to friends, not knowing what...

MOVING. I couldn’t believe it when my parents told me we were moving. My family and I were living in a beautiful, mountainous valley in North Carolina at the time. The view of the Smoky Mountains from our house was breathtaking. Relocating to Texas with my parents did not sound like a good idea to a stubborn eleven-year-old like me - especially when I heard we were going to be missionaries and...

An Unexpected Family Missions Impact!

Families in Missions, Family DTS, Deeper with God, Transformation

One of the things I have always desired for my kids is for them to know God . . . like really know God. I don't want them to just read about Him in the Bible or hear about Him in other people's stories. I want them to walk and talk with Him for themselves. They've always had a relationship with Him for sure, but honestly, prior to 2012, they had only "experienced" Him as much as suburban America...

Families Can Do Missions

YWAM Tyler, Dreams, Families in Missions, Family DTS, Deeper with God

Gigi and I met in ministry in Brazil and were best friends. Now, we still are best friends and married too! When we first started talking, we realized we had the same dream: to be a family in missions and a lighthouse to other families. We didn't know yet what our family would look like, but we committed that to Him.
