Well my time has come to an end in YWAM Kona,
A couple weeks ago I made the decision to move back to
The last couple years has been such an incredible journey for me. It has been full of adventure, growth in leadership, learning the Bible, world view and photography, deeper relationship with the Lord, challenges of many kinds, friendships, lots of good byes and traveling the world that God has so wonderfully created. To experience culture with the people, get to know their traditions and ways of life, their food and beautiful country has been a priceless blessing. I pray that God will allow me to continue you this in the years to come. I also pray that God will continue to use my gifts in photography to capture beauty and pain and to raise up a voice that will reach the nations about what is happening in our world. We live in a time where there is almost no limit to where we can go or what we can see but we also live in a time of great pain, sin and ugliness. To see this pain and hear about these injustices deeply impacted me to level where I can never say I am finished. I hope to continue to connect and join with the photogenX ministry in their mission to put an end to these injustices and see transformation happen around the world. That people would not only have a revelation of the evil that is occurring but they would come to know of the loving and forgiving Father that we have. That would be see that we are called to administer justice or all kinds whether that be in our own home, our communities, our nations or around the world. We can all play apart, which is so beautiful.
Speaking of playing apart I want to thank you all for partnering with me in seeing that I continued working with YWAM. Whether you were able to give financially or praying for me, it made the biggest difference! Without either of these two things I would not have been able to carry on. Your friendship and belief in what I do has also been an amazing blessing. To know that you support what I do and who I work for. Thank you to the YWAM community that has been a great encouragement spiritually, in friendships, growth and starting to find my calling. Thank you to all those in YWAM who have stood with me the last couple years (Paul and Susi, Dawn and Peter, Deni, Anna, Carla, Simon).
I am so excited for this next season and can't wait to connect with many of you over the Christmas season. If you would like to get a hold of me you can contact me via email (kiwana5@gmail.com) or phone (705)435-4530. Or you can just drop by my house!
I have included a summary of the last two and half years through photos. I hope you enjoy!
Much love from
Aaron
