Well, it's been forever since I've gotten to my blog and allot has happened. I went to India for 2 months and my heart was broken for the people, my heart was enamored with a girl named Nandhini and I learned and practiced things that will forever hold close. Hopefully in the near future I will be able to give you short stories and memories as a small glimpse into everything God did in India that I was blessed to be a part of.
I arrived back in Michigan in mid-January and over the past 2 months I've been pursuing my desire to join staff for YWAM Las Vegas. While I was in my training I felt that I wanted to come back, I did allot of "investigating" through my not-so-sly questions for staff and I told God "If this is really what you want me to do, I need it to be clear! Please let someone talk to me directly about becoming staff before I leave for outreach!" He listened to my childish request for clarity and just a few short days before my team hopped onto that plane, one of the staff members approached me and asked me to consider becoming staff while I was gone. I prayed allot during my outreach and as time progressed I felt more and more that I should go back. Upon arriving back in Vegas after outreach, I had my doubts and questions, honestly there were a few things that gave me cold feet. But throughout my debrief week every doubt and fear was addressed through the persistent nagging (in a loving way) and inquisitive conversations that the Staff so wonderfully provided.
Now I have applied, my references have been sent in and I have officially been accepted as staff for YWAM Las Vegas! It started out that I needed to be there by April 22nd and as if that wasn't a close enough date, it's now been moved up to April 15th. Which means, I'd be leaving Michigan on April 9th. So, in less than a month I will be hitting the road with a friend and driving to Las Vegas!
I am in the process of seeking supporters. I am in need of financial supporters who can help me reach the goal of $500 pledged monthly, with a minimum of $300 in order to go to Vegas in the first place. This budget covers all my living costs. Rent, Staff Fees, Groceries, Gas, etc. Or even one time gifts are helpful. For more details you can e-mail me at jackiejoypoole@gmail.com
God has given me a very strong passion for Las Vegas and I'm really excited to return in a short month!
For now, this is all I am going to post about. My goal is to update every 2 weeks.
I know this is a random update - but I thought I'd just throw some of these things out there before things get too crazy around here! :)
