What's next for Fall of 2014 and Spring 2015....



A lot is going to happen in the fall 2014 and Spring of 2015!
I’m planning on participating in the TML (the missing link) which is 4 weeks of reading through the whole Old Testament with interactive teachings. (Sept. 22-Oct. 17)
Then right after I am contemplating on doing a New Testament SBS (School of Biblical Studies) Survey the book to discover the big picture. Analyze the book to see the details. Apply the truth of the Word to your life. 4 months of intense Bible studies!!!
(Oct. 19- Feb 21)
Then possibly jump straight into the Spring  DTS in 2015.
I know it sounds crazy but those kind of opportunities are not always available. 

CALL TO ACTION!!!! I need your help to raise $3200 for the SBS. Please pray about partnering with me.

Dare to Dream BIG

I have always struggled to set goals, or dream, imagining what I want to do when I grow up. I don't know why but just never really found anything that I was really interested pursuing. Or I would be afraid it not coming to past. Even now people would ask me what I want to pursue and I would always answer with I'll do what ever God asks me to do.
These past 2 weeks the Lord really challenged me to dream BIG. He asked me what DO YOU WANT TO DO? Then yesterday as we were sitting in a meeting about justice in the world I just got a download of dreams that I have had for so long but never really considered pursuing because I never felt like I was the one to start them (which is a LIE from the devil) EVERYTHING is possible for him who believes Mark 9:23. Manly I have been pondering on God's desire for my life. Ps 37:4 says: Delight in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. I always misunderstood that verse I thought I needed to do what the Lord wanted me to do and then I get what I want. But He means to say is if I truly delight in the Lord and find favor in His presence His desires become my desires.

God's Kingdom and a summer of stillness

“We grow up hungry for love, and in ways so deep as to remain unexpressed we long for our Maker to love us.” ― Philip Yancey, What's So Amazing about Grace?

“If we only had eyes to see and ears to hear and wits to understand, we would know that the Kingdom of God in the sense of holiness, goodness, beauty is as close as breathing and is crying out to born both within ourselves and within the world; we would know that the Kingdom of God is what we all of us hunger for above all other things even when we don’t know its name or realize that it’s what we’re starving to death for. The Kingdom of God is where our best dreams come from and our truest prayers. We glimpse it at those moments when we find ourselves being better than we are and wiser than we know. We catch sight of it when at some moment of crisis a strength seems to come to us that is greater than our own strength. The Kingdom of God is where we belong. It is home, and whether we realize it or not, I think we are all of us homesick for it.” ― Frederick Buechner

 Over this summer I have been pondering about God's Kingdom. What it means here on earth, what part I have in it and so many other questions. I have come to realize that Jesus talks about His Fathers Kingdom all the time. Jesus uses a lot of parables to explain the Kingdom of God. But just like John and Daniel could only use earthly words to describe something not from this world Jesus used terms so that we can picture something that is "like" it.

These are just a few things that I have been working on in my down time. Also besides working at base I have started crocheting again. I finally got my drivers license! It's been more of a quiet summer, working on projects and getting things ready for the fall school.
 For the next season this is what I will be up to:
- I will not staff this fall DTS school
- My main job at the moment is working as kitchen staff
- I'm going home to Austria from 11/11-12/9 2013
- Since I'm not staffing this school I won't go on outreach this year
- I'm hoping to staff the spring school though

 I'm just so grateful for what God is doing in my life.
 It's not always easy to fully trust God to provide for every need that I have
 It's not always easy to make other people understand what I'm doing is what God called me to God
 It's not always easy to have people think your stupid because I should get a real job
It's not always easy to be way from family and follow Christ where ever he leads me
But I know it's all in God's will and there is a reward in Heaven waiting for me!
Jesus promises to
"Trust in Me with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Me, and I will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5,6

 P.S: I have a Amazon Wish list for my upcoming birthday (11/18) it's called Random (angelina.kerns@gmail.com)

We serve a miracle working God!

It's so crazy that again I have the privilege to go to another Nation!
With the last DTS school graduated and with a successful trip to Kenya/Uganda that chapter was closed.
I have been home for almost 2 months now and we have just started another Spring DTS.
The Outreach location was known to me before I left for Kenya and was kinda bummed that I wouldn't be able to be part of this Outreach because I just came from one.
ISRAEL- it seemed like I would never be able to reach it!
Ever since I was a little girl I was brought up with the excitement about the Nation and it's people.
As a family we would pray and fast once a week for Israel and through my church some of my family members were able to go and do Outreaches there.
Somehow I was never able to make it there. My whole life I have heard and read about Israel and dreamed to go there on day and now I am so close to that dream.
I was praying about asking the Outreach leader if I was able to join the team. Then a few days ago I took up all my courage and did it. Through a miracle the leader said she'd love for me to be on the team but she had to pray about it. The the last few days it was decided if I could come up with the founds I would be able to come.
4 days ago I started to inform all the people that I could think of to see if they would partner with me.
Right at this moment I have my ticket money and only $540 away from purchasing this ticket! After that for ground fees I will have to pay another $750.

Please I urge you if you feel lead to be part of God's miracle in my life and be apart of this great story then partner with me!
