This Year, I'm Thankful

It's been a great year for me with YWAM.  I have a lot to be thankful for.  I've been able to help alongside YWAMSF in drawing people to participate with God in the Tenderloin, and the way is paved for me to help with YWAM Winnipeg as I prepare for my internship in the new year.

November Prayer Requests!

My mind's been preparing to leave SF, and this month I've been a little frazzled on the blogging front, but here it is, November's prayer requests:

•Pray for transition to Winnipeg! I've been with YWAMSF for 2 years now and it's been a wonderful time.  Now it's off to the next step of the journey!  I'll be doing an internship with YWAM in Winnipeg this upcoming year, and I'm going ahead of time to spend the holidays with Joelle's family.

•Pray for finances for my upcoming internship.  I've got my plane ticket and I'm ready to go to Winnipeg, but the internship will cost around $2,150.  Please pray that God would provide these finances, and please let me know if you'd want to help by emailing me at Jon.T.Owen@gmail.com

•Pray for preparation for this next season and the upcoming internship.  I'll be spending tim with Joelle's family for the holidays, and debriefing my time here in SF as I reflect back on these last two years of ministry.  Pray that I can be prepared for the Peace & Justice Internship I'll be doing with YWAM Winnipeg.  I'm really excited to dig in there, as I've been reading the book the base director wrote called The Cost of Community.  The base director Jamie and his wife Kim seem to have built a really great intentional community in the lower income neighborhood of the West End in Winnipeg.  Please pray that God would prepare me with the right spirit to go in, learn, and most of all serve.


It's an exciting next season! It's so weird to imagine I'll be leaving my home of two years.  I've been selling all my big things, and giving away a lot of my stuff as I prepare to move everything I own to a new country.  It's a little unnerving! Thank you all so much for your prayers in the midst of all my ministry.
