October Update


Dear friends and family,

            Sorry it has been a while! So much has been happening here I don’t even know where to begin. We are over halfway through with the Discipleship Training School (DTS) and it has been cool to see how much the students have grown. Every other Friday night we all go out and do some street evangelism, so far the students and staff have been able to share the gospel with many different people and have even seen two people come to Christ and others return to the church. As some of you may know I have had a pinched nerve by my right shoulder for over a year now, which has caused me lots of pain and discomfort. A couple months ago now someone asked to pray over it and the pain instantly went away and I have not had problems with it sense, I have been healed, God healed me!!

            My job as Director of Maintenance has been going well, I am learning how to fix toilets as well as many other small jobs around our base, it seems like something is always breaking, but God has enabled me enough to figure out how to get it fixed. This season for me has been trying. Pioneering a new ministry is hard work and God has been showing me what it means to help serve someone else’s vision and ministry as well as to work out of a place of rest. My “To-Do” list never seems to end and someone always seems to need something from me. I could work 24/7 and still not accomplish all my tasks, but God keeps telling me to rest amidst all the work. I would encourage you brothers and sisters to remember to rest and to take a Sabbath seriously. It is a spiritual discipline and one that helps us not to become burnt out and disillusioned with the ministry God has called each of us to.

 

Blessings,

Kylee Nicholas

Feb. 2017 update

Hello friends and family,             We have successfully completed the second month and the first module (there are four modules total)! The days are getting longer and longer here and I feel that summer will be here before we know it. This past month has been interesting as we all have finished settling in and are finding how we all fit as we do life with each other.  If any of you have ever lived in community then you may know some of the joys and, dare I say it, sorrows that this type of living can bring. However it’s always worth it if we can help build up more considerate and community minded people in this world.             As well as enjoying my staff duties I have also started an online course to become certified to teach English as a second language (shout out to the donor who made that happen). I have been enjoying the course so far and I’m excited to see ...

June 2017 Update

Hello friends and family, Happy Summer! We have done it, we have made it to the end. This is the last week of GoMidwife Homer, AK 2017. We graduate the students on Thursday the 29 th and everyone will be heading their separate ways by July 1 st . It has been an interesting six months and God has grown me a lot though this past year. As far as staff duties it has been one of the easiest staff jobs I have had, but in regards to interpersonal relationships it has been the most difficult, but God is always faithful and he always brings life and healing if we allow him. I have grown to love Homer, AK and have been involved in an amazing church here. It will be so difficult to leave this place, but I am excited for the future and what God has in store for me next. So, what is next for Kylee? Well I am planning on leaving Homer on July 2 and moving back to Eagle River. I will be heading to northern WA in July to take a break for a couple weeks to visit my parents, process this past year...

Two years later or April Update

Hello friends and family,              *Ok warning. Please bear with me on this one. I’ve already wrote and rewrote this letter three times. It’s hard when you have so much to say to condense it to what you are about to read. April 25, 2015. Two years ago. Man I cannot believe it’s been two years already. I was in Kathmandu, Nepal in a hotel garden when the 7.8 earthquake hit. It happened on a Saturday which was my day off. I had plans to go to this older part of town where the houses are hundreds if not thousands of years old to explore and take photos. God had other plans however. Beauty for Ashes, the company I was volunteering with at the time, had set up a booth at a local celebration for the Dutch expats. I was not required to help since it was my day off but I felt strongly that I was to give up my day off and help. Thank God literally, for the prompting of the Holy Spirit. If I had not known what his voice sounde...
