Teaching the Nations!
"And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, ... Teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always to the end of the age."
- Matthew 28: 19-20
~Ryan and Sarah who will be teaching students in Costa Rica and Guatemala~
Family and Friends,
With joy and anticipation we invite you to pray with us these next two weeks as we continue to teach others the lessons that God has taught us. This next week, Ryan will be blessed to teach in our current Costa Rica DTS. Teaching students from 8 nations, he will be helping them to discover how God designed them for their destiny. His topic, Destiny by DESIGN, is an amazing teaching that allows the students to see how God has placed Dreams, Experiences, Soulprint, Identity, Gifts and Networks to shape their lives to serve Him. To learn more about this impactful teaching, check out the website http://www.destinybydesign.org
The Saturday after Ryan's teaching, our family will head to Guatemala as they have asked Sarah to teach in their current DTS. Sarah will be teaching on inner healing, a big step as this is the first time she has taught outside of our base. Personally, we are amazed how God continues to open the doors for both of us to teach. We never would have envisioned ourselves standing before a group of students from around the world sharing our heart and experiences and being a part of what God desires to do in their lives. We truly are blessed to be able to serve here in Costa Rica, radically discipling and impacting the nations for our Lord.
We would be honored to have you pray with us as we teach
* for wisdom and discernment as we prepare the teachings
* open hearts of the students in Costa Rica and Guatemala to receive what God has for them
* blessings on Ryan as he teaches Destiny by Design for the first time
* for God to use us as his vessels (clay jars) during these teaching times and for the rest of our lives!
All our love,
Ryan, Sarah, Joshua and Caleb Bedenkop
Serving with YWAM, Costa Rica
