Love changes everything, and whats up with Peru?

Where are you going on outreach? What are you doing with your life for the next three months? You mean you're not doing it as a vacation?
These questions will be answered, and they will be answered now!
As we, the TMPC crew prepare and work in the chaos of Porchlight sessions, we receive strange messages. Some, in the form of a text, many in the form of a letter, and throughout the night, actual letters. Put together, these letters came to spell one word-P E R U. Our outreach location. We, as weary as we were from the night, danced and cheered, and began to plan. Jake, Kalli and I will be going to help train and work with our sister cafe in Cuzco, near the mountains. This is part of the practical side of the internship, teaching the guys in Peru what we've learnt about managing a cafe, as well as being part of sharing Jesus Christ where we can. I'm very excited, and I fully believe the money I need to go as well as go home will come in, even though it's scary for me not to be in control of it. God is a generous God, and my friends and family take care of me.
The entire YWAM base also just finished a stint running one of Australia's largest christian music festivals, Easterfest. Yeah, moshing with Tasman Jude or seeing my friends perform on a huge stage was cool, but watching someones leg grow out after I prayed, or someone coming to realize Jesus loved him even though he's a drug addict and believes he doesn't deserve it, that's the beautiful part. the unfortunate parts were the rain. rain that made ants shelter their eggs in my bag, rain that made shoes so wet and tents so wet I currently have a cold. Yet, rain brought people to shelter in the Chai tent and allowed them to have a Chai, a conversation, and hopefully a bit closer to God's love. Because love changes everything, even through the rain.
    I've been told a few people are hoping for a tax deductible receipt, and unfortunately if you've already given, I don't think I can do much other than say to email accounts@goywam.com and ask, but if you would like to donate, you can go to https://secure.goywam.com/home/donations/donate-to-a-staff-member/ and ask for a receipt. Thank you all so much! if you'd like to get in touch, find me on Facebook or email kynya@goywam.com. I love talking to you guys! It makes me miss home just a little less.
