SO much snow! And it's not letting up any time soon.

Two weeks ago, God provided finances and transportation for me to be able to go to a DTS Foundations workshop at the YWAM base in Amsterdam. It changed my perspective on so many things and I was extremely encouraged. It was so helpful to go back to the beginning and learn about the original vision of YWAM and why they run Discipleship Training schools. By the end of the week, I became even more excited about staffing the Revive school in April. There was so much to be taken away from this week of training.

The student applications continue to roll through and God is constantly showing us His faithfulness in the many things that come to play!

The school begins April 2nd and we are expecting to know outreach locations before then. I will be excited to share with you where God is allowing me to lead a team once I find out! I so appreciate your prayers for not only me, but the students that are constantly coming and going from our base. I am so thankful that my Father has lead me to Herrnhut, this community, and a life where I get to see, first-hand, transformation in the lives of young adults. It fills me with so much joy :)

I hope this is encouraging to you, and I would also love to hear about what God is doing in your life. So, if you ever want to share anything please email me! sadie.lockridge@gmail.com

Post Holiday / Herrnhut

Wow, thank you so much for your patience on my blog posts! I have decided that a new year and season calls for a new blog. So, from now on all of my updates will be posted here. I hope your holiday season was as blessed as mine. I felt so privileged to be able to spend Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years all with my family in the U.S. / Nicaragua.
I have been back in Herrnhut for a week now. It is pretty quiet considering all of the students are on outreach until next month. Although, this has allowed us to work on renovating some areas around the base before everyone returns. So, I have been able to keep busy.
I am so excited to be staffing our new, Revive, DTS in April! It has been so awesome to read through the applications of the students. I am getting antsy to meet them all. :)
There are currently five of us staffing this school and about 30 students who have been accepted so far. It is so incredible to partner with God and be a part of what he is doing here in Herrnhut, but also in the nations.
We as staff for this school have decided to go to the YWAM base in Amsterdam for a week of DTS staff training. It is from January 27 - February 1 and I can't wait to see what comes out of it. It will be our first 'outing' as school staff, so a drive to Amsterdam will be some great team building!
Thank you all so much for praying for myself and YWAM Herrnhut. There are some very exciting changes taking place around the base this season (our base is expanding to Czech Republic, Florida, and possibly China).

Curious on what we could use prayer for? Here it is!
*We felt God speaking 50 students for the Revive DTS. We currently have 30 or more and are constantly getting new applications in. Prayer for the students that God wants to attend, for their hearts to be touched and boldness to step out into this five month journey.
Our base has also felt from God, for quite a while now, that we are to drop our price of lecture phase down to 800 euro. This is pretty unheard of in the YWAM world! The Revive DTS will be the first school to run on this budget. Can't wait to see what God is going to do!

Happy January to you all :)
Much love
