Hello everyone!
2025 is coming to an end. For us here in Montana we see our “season” of changes continuing into 2026. This last year we saw, among other things, the arrival of our first grandchild Wilder, spent the Summer in Kona staffing a leadership school, and Eden entered her last year of high school. 2026 will continue the trend. Molly will begin transitioning out of her role on the Campus Director’s Team. This is role she has filled for 15 years and has had a huge impact working directly alongside our Campus leaders here in Montana. What she moves into is still in prayer and consideration, but she knows it’s time to make that change. And on the family front we may become empty nesters! We’re not sure what that will look like, or feel like!
YWAM Montana continues to grow. We have seen an increase in students, staff, and initiatives this year. This has been very encouraging, and for us on the leadership team quite sobering as well. We know our role is to be stewards of this ministry for God, not just “leaders”. The Lord has used YWAM MT in some profound ways this year; locally, regionally and internationally, and we appreciate the responsibility that comes with that. September brought the launch of two of the largest schools we have run in a while. Our School of Biblical Studies (SBS), and our Discipleship Training School (DTS). This last weekend we sent out the DTS in 4 teams, to 4 different locations: Cambodia, Sth Thailand, Nth Thailand, and the Netherlands. Exciting things are happening with this generation (Gen Z), and a wave of anticipation is building for the coming Generation Alpha who will be entering adulthood in just a few years. For any of us who feel like the world is getting crazier, and worse, hold on! Change is coming, and in fact has already arrived. GenZ and GenA are hungry for truth, God, and change. We are seeing revival already begin in multiple places among the younger generation, globally.
To close we simply want to wish you all a very merry Christmas. Remember the reason we celebrate it! He is so good to us. The only reason we give gifts to each other is to remember the gift He gave to us, Himself, to live among us then, today and forever. Blessings, love and mountain-aloha! from our family to you and yours!
