Aloha everyone!
Sorry it's been a long time since I've last updated you guys. Well Island Breeze is not having any tours with Impact World Tour till September. However we will be going to Minnesota, Ohio and Scotland September till November. Island Breeze will be doing a tour on there own with our Makapala Family. We will be helping them with a youth camp for three week in Alaska. We need $1500 each to cover our flights and ground fees. It would be great for you to help me in this time.
As for now I felt from the Lord to do a school called Principles of Redeeming Culture School(P.R.C.S). About 15 years ago Loren Cunningham the founder of YWAM challenged Island Breeze to create a school that teaches people what Island Breeze has walk through, through redeeming cultures. This school brought our leaders together and taught them how to lead Island Breeze and be attentive to what the Lord had called them into through Island Breeze. This school presents principles for recognizing God's truth and righteousness in the cultures of the world, affirming those cultures, and seeing them transformed by the work of God. We will learning to view history and our own and/or other cultures from a biblical perspective; we also learn to develop strategies for influencing society toward righteousness,and making the Word of God the standard for living.
Last year I had heard they were having another school so I prayed about it, yet the Lord did not have me go. This time I was totally not wanting to do it, for I didn't have any peace about doing it and honestly was happy with what I was doing. Yet, I felt from the Lord that this was going to be a time for our team to come back together as our leaders first did. I had notice through the years that this generation was missing something the generation before us had. I couldn't figure out what it was, until Tuesday 3/29. Uncle Jon the leader of P.R.C.S and founder of Island Breeze New Zealand came to tell us about P.R.C.S. He spoke about how P.R.C.S started. It started making sense about what the Lord was telling me. I felt an urgency to do it, yet questioned it because I didn't FEEL peace. In our prayer time the Lord challenged me... " Here's your opportunity Rayna are you going to go by feeling or the Word I have implanted into your heart. What's better your feeling or your obedience to Me." I found out that the school would be starting next week but I questioned it because I really wanted to visit my family before I traveled. Yet, I gave up my wants and said "Okay Lord, You know how much I miss my family and if you have called me to do this school, then I know you will provide a time I can spend with my family."
Now I don't know when my desires of seeing my family will come, but I do know that the Lord has given me such a joy to do this school now. I didn't have much to even cover my application fee, yet within a couple days the Lord answered and blessed me with money to pay for my application fee.
My school is $4200. Now coming into this I was not worried about my finances and I'm not now for I serve Jehovah Jireh(God who provides), but that does not excuse that I do need help from my fellow friends and family members. Please keep in mind I do also have to pay my travels for Island Breeze Impact World Tour. It would be a great help if you guys could bless me spiritually with prayers as well as financially.
I have opened a paypal account to make it easier. You can now transfer from your account to my paypal and it will go straight to my bank account. Just go onto paypal.com and put PacificSuga@gmail.com and it should be under Rayna M. Downey.
If that is too difficult you can send checks
