Latest Blog/ New Blog Location!

Hey everyone, 

I have a new blog location and would encourage you all to follow me at https://ywamjodi.wordpress.com/... I will not be keeping up with this blog anymore.

The transition from summer programs has been smooth and good.  I have now stepped into the media and marketing department at YWAM Chico.  My current responsibilities have been growing every day.  I have been given the official job of keeping up with the social media posts. This is something I enjoy and keeps me busy and growing. Media is full of the “random” projects as well as the keeping up to date projects.  I am excited for what this creative department will pull out of me!

This week our Fall DTS students arrived! It’s been fun meeting them and starting to get to know them. There are lots of conversations to be had! Please continue to pray for these students and the staff that will be leading them through the next six months of training and ministry. We are believing God for BIG things.

In October, I will be traveling with a team to Washington D.C. for a event called Awaken the Dawn.  It is going to be an incredible time of prayer worship and revival for this nation.  There will be over 50 tents, one for each state plus a few, set up on the National Mall in Washington D.C. full of people. There will be prayer and worship happening day and night from Oct. 6-9^th. I am so excited to be apart of this, and really believe that it will be a breaking point in America. 

After the Awaken the Dawn event a few of us from YWAM Chico will travel on.  We will be heading to Springfield, MO for a few days joining a ministry team there, and then head to Lancaster PA to help out at the Global Awakening Conference.

I’m excited for what God is going to do in and through us during this trip. Please pray for wisdom and boldness to go and do everything that God is leading us into.

Other things to pray for…

Please pray for the staff and YWAM Chico for continued unity and strength.

Please pray for Upcoming and Future opportunities with YWAM.

Please continue to pray for finances.

I hope this gives you a bit of an idea of what I am up to, if you have question please contact me – Jodi.noordmans@ywamchico.com and I will do my best to give you more information.

If you would like to support me through prayer or financially, please let me know and I can give you more information on how to set that up!

Praying God’s blessings over each one of you!

Focus Forward

Dear Family and Friends,

As many of you know I just arrived back from a nine week outreach in South Africa and Lesotho.  It was a powerful experience with many learning moments along the way.

This season alone has brought a huge understanding to what it means to lead and disciple people into the kingdom and to raise up Godly leaders to pass on the Godly heritage we claim. 

As God led me through this past season, He brought me to a point of surrender that I have never reached before.  The words "setting down a root system" where spoken into me.  My desire is to plant myself in a place and position under a leadership and Godly authority that will grow and build the passion and purpose that God has placed on my heart. 

With that said I will be staying with YWAM Chico for another season. 

The first part of this season will include attending the POWER school. It is a 8 week school focused on Prayer, Worship and Revival.  The heart of the school is to grow in our understanding of how to combat spiritual warfare through these three focuses.   I am very excited for this school. I believe God has a lot to teach me and I am an open book to learn everything I can from Him through the amazing leaders of this school.

The second phase of this season, I plan to join staff here at YWAM Chico. As I said earlier God is leading me to place myself under leadership that I feel is likeminded and will help me grow more into the person that He desires me to be. 

The leaders at YWAM Chico are dedicated and strong in their faith and ability to lead in a Godly manner. They are great people that I am very excited to learn from them.

The past season God gave me a verse from Ephesians 4. It says "Live a life worthy of the calling you have received." Sometimes we struggle with knowing what our calling is, and sometimes we struggle with our part of the calling. Sometimes we are ready to dive in and do all we can to live a life worthy.

This season isn't all about me, it's about you as well. Its also about what you are called to. Perhaps God is calling you out to step into a position of missions or ministry that you aren't sure about. Perhaps He is asking you to stay in the place you are and love on your neighbors like never before. Whatever it is that He is calling you to, don't ignore the call. We are all called to "go" and "do", it's what we do with the call that's important.

For this season to happen for me, I need a Godly team behind me. I cannot do this alone, nor does God expect that of me. Has God called you to be apart of this team? Please ask Him. I need your prayers and financial support to be able to focus on what God is leading me into. 

The need is as follows- (in no particular order)

The Power School  finances $1500

Daily prayer support

Staff fees - (min) $400.00  in monthly support

Outreach and life continues!

Outreach and life continues!

Oh, where to begin? 

This has been a huge season of leaning in and pushing closer into the arms of my Father. The struggles that we have faced on this trip are shadows of what God has been teaching us and how He is calling us up and out of our insecurities and into His Holy anointing. 

I could go into great detail of the challenges and hardships but I would much rather share with you the amazing things that God is doing not just through us, but in us as well. 

Things that I have personally grown in is just walking in the obedience of what God is calling me into, and growing in what it means to die to self in order to live a life worthy of the Calling God has placed in me. 

As a leader on this trip I have felt the pressures of laying aside and letting go of even my most personal and treasured time alone to seek the importance of encouraging others. 

I have felt completely emptied and still felt God using me to pour out on the team and others. I have felt unprepared and incapable but have watched as God used me to speak life into others and in turn fill me with his heart again and again. 

There are things on this trip that I have yet to gain understanding on and things I might never "figure out", but I know that God is daily growing me and showing me His strength rising up in spite of my own weakness. 

...and there is more to come...

Gods plans keep moving me forward. There where several things on the table at the beginning of this outreach and through my days in Africa God has shown me the importance of placing myself under Godly leadership that I trust. 

He has also showed me the importance of the spiritual battle and steps in fighting in the Spirit. 

It is with these two thoughts in mind that I have decided to go through a 8 week training program on battling with the weapons of prayer, worship and intersession. The program is called the POWER school and will be starting March 1st at YWAM Chico. 

I am looking forward to what God will do in my mind and heart through this program and where it leads me after. 

Please continue to pray!

Pray for-

-the team to finish strong in South Africa (two weeks to go!)

-for the team to know where there next steps are after the outreach ends. 

-for me and the transition that will take place when I return and start this new program. 

-for finances for the POWER school and the future. 

-for the things we've learned on this trip to become apart of our hearts and lives and change us in good ways from the inside out. 

If you feel God is promoting you to support me financially, Thank you!!!
