Beginning Classes

Yesterday I began my first day of three months of lecture classes. Each week will be focused on a different topic. This week’s topic is the history of YWAM Ships and the Islands of Hawaii. Something that Holoholo DTS is passionate about is understanding the culture and history of Hawaii in order to be able […]

I Made It!

I’ve arrived in Kona, Hawaii for a discipleship training school with YWAM. The school begins this coming Wednesday and I’m incredibly excited! Thank you to everyone who has supported me both financially and through prayer as I begin this program. I’ll keep posting updates here as I begin the school! With love, Katie Armstrong

We All Need More Than “a little” Christmas

I need a little Christmas, more than a little. In fact I feel that I’ve been operating on edge lately. Lots of stuff to blame…finances, relationships, politics, there seems to be no limit to the number of things that conspire to rob me of joy. Can you relate? I get so caught up in my […]

Protected: Avoid Narcissists in Ministry

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas is for survivors. Yesterday, I was reflecting on the people I know who are in crisis. “A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and refusing consolation because they are no more.” While Rachel was weeping for her children, God was doing something beautiful for the babies […]

#Revival

Earlier in the evening, I received a text confirming that a family we had been sharing the Gospel with had accepted Christ. I met this family along with the members of our last team. We had prayed for God to open a new door and had walked not even 10 feet in the refugee camp […]

Two Men, the Last Tea, and Jesus.

I could tell you about the huge meal we were served, all 18 of us. I could tell you about the fun the kids had or the laughter all of us adults shared. Or about the journey to get there, by train, by months and months of ministry, on the backs of team after team. […]

Who Takes Over As We Take Off?

From homeless shelters to well-funded technical training centers, from refugee-filled gymnasiums to shipping-container trailer-parks we have brought the Gospel to bear wherever we could. Now, as we position ourselves to follow God’s call to Detroit, as we lead our last team into ministry here in Berlin, “who will take over what you are doing when […]
