March 2025: I have a timeline for joining YWAM Ships Corpus Christi!

Check out this video to hear about this month and the upcoming move to Corpus Christi.

A Trip to YWAM Ships Corpus Christi (YSCC)

 I went to Corpus Christi, TX for 2-weeks in March. I was able to get to know the YSCC staff team (see picture below) by attending their annual staff retreat, spend time praying and strategizing with the directors, and participate in their Spring Break outreach in Corpus Christi. I now have a tentative timeline for moving there. 

 Tentative Timeline 

• End of April-Beginning of May - Help move a boat from San Francisco to Mexico to use for training purposes. Once we arrive in Mexico, we will be there for a few days to work out some of the details for the upcoming SONS school.

• Late May/Early June - Travel to Corpus Christi to help with final details for summer training program starting June 23rd. I will head to Mexico a little before the start of the school and to make sure we are ready to go.

• June 23- Sept 12 - YSCC will be running a School of Navigation and Seamanship in Mexico to train YWAMers to crew vessels taking the Gospel to hard-to-reach remote places. I will be in Mexico all summer to help facilitate this training.

• Mid-Sept - I will return to FL, pack all my stuff, and aim to be fully relocated to Corpus Christi by October.

About the School of Navigation and Seamanship

Below is a video that will explain more about the School of Navigation and Seamanship. It explains some of the why behind why these schools are so important to our missions of YWAM Ships. You can also see some of what the students will be learning. This video was specifically made by our YWAM Ships Kona, Hawaii campus and is highlighting their school and locations. Where our school will operate very similarly content wise, the locations listed in the video will differ.

 Prayer Points

• Please pray for our upcoming sail from San Francisco, CA to Ensenada, Mexico.

• Things are in process right now to make sure everything is in order to make that sail and to raise the funds for it. Please pray that everything comes together in time.

• As we work to get everything planned for the SONS school, we need God’s insight, wisdom, and favor. Please pray that God helps us put this together in His ways.

• Please pray for safe travels, wisdom in all the details, health, and provision as I am moving around a lot over the next few months.

• I still need to see an increase in my monthly support levels to reach my needed budget. Please pray that as I am wrapping up my time at home, that God would lead me in this process. Also, pray for anyone who has been thinking about supporting me or intending to do so, but hasn’t yet, to be motivated to do so now.
