Greetings from Kona! After a very long and tiresome time of traveling, I landed in Kona around 2:30 in the afternoon (April 5th).  Hawaii is such a beautiful place and the base here is amazing as well. It is a community of faith-filled lovers of Jesus. I am so excited for all the relationships that will spring forth from my time here.

Friday was officially our first day of the DTS. I think there are around 10-15 DTS’s going on right now here at the base. In my school we have around 60 students/staff. I room with 5 other guys with whom I have already formed an amazing bond with. We all have much excitement and anticipation for all that the Lord is going to do during these months to come. We had a great opening ceremony with the entire base and then went off into our own school groups for a orientation time. We had a very powerful time of worship and ministry time in the prayer room. And then after our orientation, myself and few others took a stroll down to the beach :) . 

I can’t begin to tell you how grateful I am for all of your support and prayer coverage. I know that I am exactly where God wants me right now and you have all played a major role in getting me here. From the deepest part of my heart I thank you. I will be finding out this upcoming week where I will be sent for the outreach phase. I can not wait to find out. I will be updating this blog as often as possible with information and other various things that the Lord places on my heart. Thank you so much again to all of you who have been praying and sowing into my time here. Blessings.
