OUTREACH AFRICA

I know this update is long overdue* and I apologize

As I wrote out on my update e-mail. As I shared, I have spending my last three months in Oxford, New Zealand, which was I must admit was one of the most beautiful places that I have ever been in. We went through the lecture phase there, 15 students and 7 staff, it was amazing the relationships that have grown from it. We went through the topics Forgiveness, the Cross, Worship, Relationship, Character and Nature of God, Biblical world view, Missions, Spiritual Warfare, Lordship, Father Heart, Releasing Destiny, Hearing God's Voice, Clear Conscience, etc... a very stretching and intense however loved it, How God was opening my mind to think in ways  never thought, and just opening and broadening the bubble in where I placed God before.

Now, me and my team of 7 have gone out of the world of new zealand to face the world God is sending us to AFRICA! As of now we are in Johanesburg, South Africa. WE have been here for the last week, after a gruesome travel of 30 hours. We are working at a orphanage here called Refiliwe. It has been awesome, lots of phsycial labor, so the body gets sore, but it feels soo good to look back on what you have done. And I am learning to make bricks! yes literally out of scratch! Hard work i tell ya! but soo cool! :) The kids here are adorable, I am acutally right now in the process of uploading pictures (takes forever!) but when they are done i will post some up.

It has been a whirlwind of emotions, thoughts, experiences and just everything! but our GOD is amazing and really, I would never take this back for anything in the world. Just how much molding and breaking God is doing in my life. its amazing. How soo many times we think we got it all together and than we realize WOW who were we kidding. I am totally blessed with such wonderful people around me, my team, Sarah, Matt, Heidi, Izzy, Julie anna, Ali and of course my DADDY upabove!

I will be updating as much as I can, with the sparcity of internet here it is hard at times but I will be updating atleast once in each country!

Really miss everyone back home! All in Washington, Arizona and Oxford New Zealand! I love you guys! please do not hesitate to e-mail me annahyun@gmail.com to be added to my updates list :) love you all and remember that whereever we are we can be a sweet taste of Jesus for those around us!

- "Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her. There I will give her back her vineyards, and will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. There she will sing as in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt. In that day, "declares the Lord, "You will call me 'my husband,' You will no longer call me my master." Hosea 2:14-16 

    This one explains my life here thus far. I Have been saying How God has been taking my hands grasp off of things. Taking me away from Wa, to Az and now here even in New Zealand, God has been telling me to not to jump into leaderships roles and chill back for awhile. It has been fustrating, however cause that is not who I am. However I realize that God is not telling me to chuck everything away, but for now He wants to be my everything and only thing. No more does He want to be a master to me but my husband. And Man, thats what I want to become with Him, I want to fall soo madly and deeply in love with Him. I want him to become my husband my one and only love. :)

- "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart, I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." Ah, Sovereign Lord, " I said, " I do not know how to spak, I am only a child. But the Lord said to me, " Do not say, " I am only a child. You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with  you and will rescue you declares the Lord. Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, Now I have put my words in your mouth. See today I appoint you over nation snad kingdons to uproot and tear down to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant."  Jeremiah 1: 5-10 

Wow, I do not know what to say about this one. Thus far I have been given now twice by two diferent people the words that God has called me out to missions. Ok ok, lets calm down cause I realize as i pray also, that the missions calling that God has put on my life is/can be different than what the world says. God I know now and as i pray that His mission for me is a unique and specific one. I know that since I was born, God has spared my life many different times (gull bladder, car accident, etc..) and I know that His plan out there for me is big and I want to do His will. Whether it be by being His voice, or Healing the Heart or Being His praise. I am slowly starting to figure this out. hmMm...interesting months to come.

I AM HERE!

SO after a gruesome 17 hour plane ride with 2 layovers in LA and Auckland.

As some of you know I had some trouble at the airport. In which it was pretty hard, for the lady at Pheonix was basically telling me I could not get on the plane for coming to New Zealand you have a 3 months period where you can stay without a VISA, however my plane tickets says im staying longer, and so she was telling me I needed a Visa. and basically telling me i could not get on the plane.!! but thank God For prayers thank you everyone for praying. I sitting here in NEW ZEALAND :)

its been amazing, it was very great to be once again reassured and confirmed that this is where God wants me to be.

funny!! i didnt know! they drive on the oppisite side of road!!!! AND in the right side of the car!!! man..i am in a different country for sure...

soo i am really tired soo i will update again lil laters :) please e-mail me your e-mails for more personal updates :) annahyun@gmail.com

10 days and counting

Arizona has been amazing. For those who are confused, yes I came to arizona first for the month to spend time with my family before I head out.

God is just amazing, Knowing the road to be broken to be molded, its just been one of those eye opening experiences here. Funny How I feel soo many times i got it all figured out and once again I am broken too the reality that I dont know, and I wont know. I feel like that is where God wants me to be, so than I can really rely on Him, instead of my own lil of a knowledge I have.

Now that I am truly getting ready to leave (physcially) im getting the nervous jitters and heebiejeebies! Excited for what God is preparing in everyones hearts before we all meet. Ahhh! :)

Arizona though, amazing, been serving at my Dads church, got to visit Kevin and candice and ellie, and even visit his church :) yes yes even sat in his office..:) Meet some amazing brothers and sisters, and once again reminded that no matter where I am God is still the same.

Something that has been brought to my heart. My life, my heart will always be in Wa, for it is my hometown where I was brought up and where my foundation was set. However, I realize that God can take me anywhere. I always try to plan out my future and know what the next steps are, but I realize I just want to leave it in His hands. I want to be able to accept what God has for me inthe future whether it be in WA, or AZ, or wherever else. Funny i thought i would never say that either.

But I just realized I do not want to limit God, and I am truly open to what He is, as much as I will not agree with it at first. Its been an amazing journy thus far..and the next big leap is just about to start! (:
