A Day in the Life of Renee at YWAM Bethlehem

  A day in the life of Renee at YWAM Bethlehem

I feel that to get to know people, to invest in them and learn from them we need to see and hear about their daily lives as well as the struggles and victories they have. So here is a little bit of what I do here in Tauranga:



Monday morning I get up and spend some time reading the word. Then by 8:30- 9 I go to the house of prayer, meditating on the goodness of the Lord, before I go into briefing for an intercession set. (This is where we sing a few songs then sing in the spirit.  Someone then picks a topic to pray for and a scripture. Then prays the singer sings from the scripture asking God for the topic to happen.) This is based on scripture how the seraphim cry out to God singing Holy Holy, Holy, so we cry out to God asking for justice and for him to move in the place. We pray for the youth of Tauranga or NZ and a number of places and people groups.  This is done about 3 times within a 2 hour set.) Some sets we do worship with the word where we expand and go deep in the scripture as the Holy Spirit leads us to sings. After eating lunch I do any planning or work that I need done for hospitality, organising the speakers, making sure there is enough things to make a welcome card and gift pack. As the day progresses I head out to faith bible college for community night where we have teaching or a fun night of games and communing with each other.
I normally sing once or twice a week depending on the schedule and the others days that I go to the house of prayer I study the word and engage in the prayer. Every Friday night we have intercession where a lot of the community come join together to pray.  Sometimes I go to the sessions during the week when the speakers are speaking on the DTS.
This has been just one day in the life of Renee at YWAM Bethlehem.
Thank you:
Thank you so much for supporting me in prayer and continuing to seek the Lord, I pray a blessing on you and your families. I keep asking the Lord for new revelations for you so you will be able to grow deeper in love with him.
This next session of my life will be a bit more different as I will be a student again, spending about 20 or so hours in the house of prayer then also having teaching and lessons in the instrument either singing or guitar, depending on if I get in with the guitar.(Next week I will be auditioning)
Prayer Requests:
·         Please continue to pray for me that I will be able to get all the money I need to do this internship, I need about $4200 and have about $500 towards this.

·         Also keep in prayer the students that will be coming for the next school there are about 20 at the moment that have either been accepted or are in progress.

·         Please pray that God would keep growing me in his word and in the authority he has placed in me. That I may know a new depth of his heart towards me, towards his bride and have an understanding of who he is.


·         Please also pray that the stress of living as a missionary would not continue as I have been struggling a lot with this at the moment.
