The Charla Files

So last night at 9:45 pm, Charla and 16 other enthustiastic YWAMers set off on the 17 hour bus ride to Airlie Beach. Through they may have seemed excited now, this blogger is quite certain that they will be feeling slightly less than par upon their arrival. Charla is going to Airlie Beach to help out with Schoolies. Schoolies is like graduation here, and it is a month long party full of drinking, partying, and drug use. Charla is going there to get wasted.
JUST KIDDING!!!
NO, she is going there to help the drunk kids. See, YWAM is setting up this huge tent and they will be playing live music and stuff and then when the kids come in, they have an opportunity to minister to them.
This outreach will be lasting for over a week, but Charla will be back here on the base safe and sound next saturday.
Last week, the lecture topic was hearing the voice of God. Charla was able to hear God's voice and he revealed some of theplans that he has for her life and others' lives. Outreach locations were announced last week, and Charla felt like God was leading her to India. She will be traveling with 12 other girls and one guy. We all feel sorry for him. Charla will be leaving for outreach on February 12th, but a deposit of $2,000 is due on the 24th of November to pay for airfair. If you feel moved to donate ANYTHING, it would help her greatly. Outreach will last until March 30th, and  the whole time the group will be traveling about the country, using their talents and God's guidance to lead people to the Lord. 
This week in lectures, Charla has been learning about evangelism. Last night, she was brave enough to march to the front of the class and share what God is doing in her life. Charla's innovative way to reach the world for Christ was getting a popular mainstream artist to record a Christian song.
Before leaving for Airlie Beach, the team was SUPPOSED to clean their beds and part of the room that they reside in. UNFOURTUNATELY, that did NOT happen and thus, this blogger, along with her two remaining roomates, will struggle to clean the room all by ourselves. Don't worry, we still love her. Mostly.
So, as you can see, dear followers, Charla leads a very busy life, and it is for this very reason that she does not have a blog of her own. But do not fear, this blogger will be fearlessly documenting all the major events that take place in Charla's life whilst she is here.
So Long for now, Blokes!!

  1. Haha! Love the picture! And let Charla know that when she actually has even a moment of time to blog, she should (I saw you playing pool). It's more... exact of a voice.
    You guys have such exciting lives at this moment. Except that car ride... Blog, you exciting blogger(s)!

  2. Considering a certain YWAMer that I know who was supposed to clean her room before leaving home and DID NOt, I find this justice. Anonymous
