DNA Conference, Bad Blankenburg, Germany!

Hello again friends and family! I hope you are all doing well.

I have the amazing privilege of attending this DNA conference in Germany from May 8th to 20th. The founders of Ywam are speaking there, and we are driving there as a base, as I have mentioned before. This is a really unique opportunity to hear from these incredible people and to travel together to Bad Blankenburg.

I have also been asked to help plan out morning tea and snacks for 300-400 people there every morning during the conference with one of my leaders. Growing and learning in multiple ways while I am there. :)

I am still trusting for a little over $500 CAD to cover the travelling expenses, accommodation, and the conference itself. I would be so happy if you feel led to give towards this opportunity. Feel free to email me, stephaniebweiss@gmail.com, if you have any questions, or if you would like to give. You can also use the convenient "Donate" option to the right of this blog page.

"There is a simple truth about DNA: it is least altered the closest to its source of origin. DNA Infusion in Bad Blankenburg, Germany will be led by one of “the originals,” Darlene Cunningham, the co-founder of Youth With A Mission. And the other “original,” YWAM Founder Loren Cunningham, will be the other primary speaker! This is a wonderful blessing, as Loren is not able to be at all of the DNA events Darlene leads. David Hamilton, University of the Nation’s Vice President for Strategic Innovation, will be the third primary speaker. He also has an outstanding history of YWAM leadership, pioneering and innovation that spans more than three decades. David, Darlene and Loren are a wonderful trio of leadership wisdom."

I really appreciate the financial support as I really feel I am here as God has led me. It is growing me a lot to trust in His provision through the generosity of others. I pray that He will bless you one hundred fold from your generosity towards supporting me. It means so much.

Thank you!

a new quarter begins!

Hi everyone!
I Wanted to share some photos of Biarritz I took a couple weeks ago! I love this place so much.













The music students have all arrived and have already started class and are currently learning about the nature and character of God taught by our base leader, Dan Appa. I have been enjoying leading hospitality! Some days I am needed to pick guests up at the airport, other days I am baking for the whole base, or organizing different events. It's a job that keeps me on my toes and challenges me to stay on top of things. I also get to be creative - which I love.

Next month our whole base will drive to Germany to attend a Ywam conference! Loren Cunningham, the founder of Youth With a Mission, as well as other well known speakers will be there. The January DTS is meeting us there, the Music DTS will come along, and all the staff as well! It will be an amazing time together and a rare opportunity to hear from Loren Cunningham and other well known speakers in the Ywam world. Also I am pretty sure that we are camping while we are there- so it is going to be quite the adventure. :) 

Another cool thing is that I have started an online Relational Fundraising course with Ywam E-Learning. It is designed for new missionaries who are starting to raise support and to give them the skills and the knowledge on how to do it well. I'm thankful for this resource- I haven't finished it yet- but I am working on it in my spare time. 

Thanks for praying for me!
