Seraphim's Cry



I am back at it! I was accepted back into a secondary school of worship titled 'Seraphim's Cry' at YWAM Bethlehem in New Zealand. After an amazing month home of visiting family, friends, and Church; God made it incredibly clear for me to continue on with what He has started.

Again, I saw His provision provided for as I received nearly $3,000 for my pla
ne ride back within only two weeks!

I am also excited to announce that all $4,000 of my lecture fees have been covered completely by a generous act of obedience to the Lord!

For reference, I will be going on another two-month mission to Penang, Malaysia! We are joining the YWAM base there. The base already has local ministries that we will serve. One of those include, serving the homeless at a soup kitchen. Others include ministering to rescued human traffickers, and kids/youth ministries. We also will partner with the house of prayer in Penang, called PenHOP. Since we are a worship school, we will most likely lead some of the worship sets there. My team is excited to join what God is already doing in Malaysia. It is a Muslim nation and will be quite different from anything I have been around, but I am excited to see God’s strength through me like never before. The bonus is, light shines the brightest in the darkest places, so my team and I are very expectant so see life changes through influence!
* Those who are led to partner with me and financially invest into my next mission, please know I welcome it! I have a total cost of  $4,000 to be able to follow this call!

Back to what I am doing in this moment: What is a seraphim anyways?
The seraphim is a creature that God created with eyes all over it’s body to behold the beauty of God in the throne room of heaven. The proper response that they have in seeing this beauty; is constantly proclaiming, “Holy, Holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”

We have adopted this as our focus. We want to be enthralled by the beauty of God from a place of intimacy, then to give a proper response to Him in worship! We are longing for a new song to arise in our generation and for a freedom to be released in acceptable worship to God. 
We know we all fall short of His glory in giving Him the due honor that He deserves. That doesn’t motivate me to just give it up though! That makes me want to give it all I have with all He has given me for Him to receive glory! After all, He’s the reason why I am here!

I have now been back for almost an entire two months. To be real, the first week I struggled with being back here in Tauranga, New Zealand. Although it was clear as day that God wanted me to be here, Satan was coming after me!

I had a struggle through each airport getting here.
I missed my first flight leaving out of Atlanta. Praise the Lord that I had enough extra money to purchase another plane ticket! I arrived in LA and found out that both my carry-on bag and personal bag were overweight. I laid my bags wide open, in front of everyone that was in line attempting to check-in, to transfer some items. After my rolling bag was filled to the max, the guy informed me that I would have to pay $100 to check my bag in. After a second of prayer (knowing I couldn’t afford this) and a look of understanding, the guy informed me I could actually check it in at the gate and he wouldn’t charge me! Praise the Lord!

Round two happened again at check-in, where I would need to re-check that same bag in for my next plane in New Zealand. This time the gentleman informed me that it would cost $188. After asking him if I could get around this in any way He allowed me to transfer some weight around. So again, I laid all three of my bags wide open in front of the check out line. By this time I was working up a sweat, pulling out my heavy items like cowgirl boots and winter coats and layering up in attempt to save money I didn’t have! Finally, I achieved the accepted weight and was able to board! Praise the Lord!  (Personally, the weight is all going on the plane, in the same exact place, what difference does it make which bag it is in? But it pays to follow the rules!)

Back to business, I have been on information overload as secondary school is surely more intense that DTS! The teachings have far exceeded what I thought I would be learning about. So far, our topics have been about intimacy and knowing God, Identity as sons and as brides of Christ, Freedom, and our true reality. We have studied biblical and historical basis and what it means to fear the Lord with awe and reverence. Meaning, not accepting the things that He hates, and to be fascinated with the things He loves!

We’ve been taught how to dissect the bible well. Our teachers have showed us the importance of looking up Greek words and understanding the root of what was being said along with historical background and context.
I’ll tell you this, I’ve never been a history girl…at all! Honestly, I’ve never even really had a hunger to study the word.

I had quite an adventure last week in the area of word study, as our base we went deeper into where God was leading us! Stay tuned to get an update tomorrow of how God moved through me as we sacrificed to know Him more!

Thank you all for following me and keeping me supported by your prayers! I’ve definitely felt the strength of the Lord as I pray He has been glorified in our busy schedule!

Praise report: I prayed that God would lead people to financially support my outreach cost, and as I type I have gotten an email with $200 already! Thank you for those who are sowing into this partnership as well!

 Much love and Many blessings,
Kyndal
