“Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will keep it.”- Mark 17:33
Friends,
As I reflect on the last eight weeks of my life, I am in awe of how much of a revelation of Christ I have been given. I have seen and heard more of His Love for the Nations, His Son, and myself than I have the last 19 years of my life! He has spoken to me in love since the moment I decided to open my heart and receive everything He has to offer.
I have learned that leadership comes from servanthood, which is enabled by humility. Humility comes from humbling myself daily, allowing Christ to ‘put words in my mouth’(Isaiah 51:16,) dying to myself daily, and living in the knowledge that without Christ’s love in my life I am nothing(1 Corinthians 13). I am also learning to value others as our Father sees them, and to see myself as God sees me. I have chosen to seek, strive, and find ALL that Christ has for me. I’ve chosen not to bottle up everything He teaches me, but to share it with the nations!
“ ...we have been unwilling to surrender to Jesus our right to freedom.” ...“But if we give up our right to freedom we can go anywhere on earth today,” Loren Cunningham, Making Jesus Lord.
I have come to the realization that the enemy impresses a fear of rejection on us when we are in ministry. When acknowledging and believing in our hearts, that our sole purpose on earth is to Love God and Love people(Matthew 22:37-38), why should we fear rejection of man, or death of self? At YWAM, we strive to Know God and Make Him Known. I have made the choice to live this with all that is in me, whether it be in Greeneville,TN, Charlotte,NC, or Phnom Penh,Cambodia!
We will be in Phnom Penh, Cambodia for the first month, working with different ministries through YWAM. One of the ministries we will work with is Steps of Justice. Steps of Justice is a ministry pioneered by YWAM staff, triggered to apply practical solutions to spread awareness and help people living in injustice. For more info on this ministry go to, http://www.stepsofjustice.org/ .
Although we are not sure yet, we will most likely be in Siem Reap, Cambodia for the second month. Some of our plans aren’t confirmed yet, but I will be updating my blog often and definitely will update when I know everything we are doing!
I am so blessed to announce that I only have $530 left to cover tuition and outreach fees! The Lord has truly proven His provision in my life over the last 6 months and I cannot thank enough those of you that have supported me in this incredible journey!
More than anything, I ask that you pray for me. Pray that the Lord would continue to provide finances, good health, and safety! If the Lord leads you to support me financially, please make checks payable to Sarah Sanders.
I can’t wait to write you all again and share with you the adventures I will partake of in Cambodia!
Farewell Friends!
In Christ Alone,
Sarah Sanders
