Dear Friends & Family,
We are home and we'd love to see you! We will be home November 24th - January 10th and we want to see as many of you as we can. Email or Facebook so we can set up a time. We have many stories to share and cannot wait to get caught up on everyone's lives back in Grand Rapids.
Students have been transforming from day one here and we got a chance to seal that transformation with baptisms! There were a number of students that wanted to get baptised as they made new committments and re-committments for Christ. Josh and I both had the amazing privilege of being a part of both our one on one's baptisms.

For one week out of each DTS, we take the students to a nut farm with a retreat center, graciously offered to us for ministry. During this week students are taken away from the busyness and distractions of normal life to go out in the countryside to pray. This week is all about prayer, where we have lectures and then activation. As a DTS we participate in 24/7 prayer, praying in three hour slots at a time in a designated prayer room. Students learned the power of prayer and we saw breakthrough in physical healings, in restoration with family, in financial provision for outreach, and a hunger to know God more.

Our base just recently purchased an old backpackers that they turned into student housing as the new “Wave House.” This is an exciting step for our base since they have been renting houses for the last ten years. It’s been cool to see the students grow in unity as they’ve been living all together, unlike living separately in houses around the coast. The “Wave House” is also located within a neighbourhood so it’s been an awesome opportunity to reach out to the neighbours and surrounding community.
The students leave for outreach in two weeks! We will be supporting them in prayer as we make our trip back home while they are on outreach. Yes! We are coming home! We would love to meet up and catch up with you all. We will be in Grand Rapids from November 24th to January 10th. We hope to have some sharing times where you can hear some of the amazing stories of our time staffing with YWAM.

PRAYER REQUESTS:
- Safe travel back to the USA on November 24th
- New Apartment (We have to move out of our old one before we go home! Pray that we can find something else affordable and close to the base for when we return in January.)
Thank you all so much for your prayers and support. We could not do what we are doing without all of you. Please let us know how we can be praying for you. We would love to pray for you as well. We are excited to see you in a couple weeks!
Love,
Josh & Amanda
