Yolanda's Extraordinary Journey: Called to Give & Serve

I was able to teach at a Calvary Bible Institute for three evenings. As always, it was challenging to get in front of an audience and speak. But with the grace of God I was able to teach the module, Power of the Word, with confidence. My favorite part of the teaching was when we got to dissect and study a passage of scripture together by using the inductive study method, which is observing, interpreting and applying the Word of God in our lives. His word came alive and we left on the last night with encouraged and revitalized spirits knowing that God’s Word and His promises are always true.

I also had the privilege to see how God began to reveal destiny and purpose in the lives of the young adults from the Sonshine Center. Like most new things, it was very challenging to get the Royalty Meetings started and perseverance was definitely the key. The focus for the meetings was directed toward the young ladies. For six Saturdays we met for lunch, a group discussion about the journey into womanhood and the discovery of purpose and destiny. After all this, both the young men and the ladies were able to choose a one-hour class of singing, dancing or abstract painting. The end goal was to help them reveal a passion for one of these areas and begin their discovery journey for what God has deposited in them. I am certain that this is only the beginning of a long journey. But what I was able to witness on the last night, God doing amazing things such as healing their hearts and unveiling destiny to be walked into, made all the sacrifices worth it all! A young lady’s words after our time of ministry on our last day together are still echoing in my mind. With tears streaming down her face she said, “Thank you for everything. God is never late. He is always on time. What He has done in me I can now share with other people He brings in my life.”
