Add some amazing speakers, fun people, games, random activities & this is what a day in the life looks like. 

AND FOR THE BIG NEWS! 

Today our leaders released the locations for outreach.

The Justice DTS- made up of 11 students and 3 leaders- is going to CAMBODIA. I can't even begin to explain how excited I am! God has definitely had Cambodia on my heart for a while and it seems to be the same case with the other students as well. The Lord has given my heart complete peace about this decision and I honestly can't wait for my time there! The Justice crew (Melanie, Michael, Jada, Larissa, Madelyn, Emma, Austin, Derek, Seth, Dan, and myself) is already like a family and I am so excited about spending outreach with them.

All of this excitement is almost more than I can handle! AH I wish we were already there. Yet I know that the time I have here in New Zealand is so essential. During these next three months I will learn so much about myself, God, and what justice really means so that I will be able to partake in delivering God's justice for the hurting in Cambodia. The Lord has already done so much in my heart in the two weeks I've been here, and I know that He will continue to do amazing things in the next five months. I am so blessed with all I've been given and I still have a hard time believing I'm here. Thank you so much to the people who have supported me in this journey. Coming here was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

All of this being said, I have less than three months to raise the remaining money needed for my outreach. All of the different teams will be leaving for outreach in the beginning of October. Yikes. I have faith that it is all in God's hands. Nothing is too big for the Big Guy. I'm here, aren't I? Today I was told that usually outreach costs around $3,900 NZD which is close to $3,000 US dollars. At this moment, I only have a little over $1,000 towards outreach costs. That means I still need $2,000. 

Please be praying for my finances! The Lord is faithful and I know that in one way or another, I will make it to Cambodia and be able spread the love of Jesus to deeply hurting people there- in whatever way the Lord allows me to do that. Maybe it will be ministry with children, trafficked women, or those suffering from crippling poverty. I don't know yet! But I'm ready for whatever is in store. I just have to get there. :)

Lots of Love, Holly

P.S. If you would like to help me reach my needed goal of $2,000 for outreach to Cambodia, please let me know! You can always send me a message, contact me on Facebook, or I also have a Paypal that is linked on this page for whoever feels led to donate!

Thank you so much everyone for your support. Your prayers, thoughts, kind words, and donations have gotten me here- and I don't know how to thank you enough. I am so blessed.
