November Update


Dear friends and family,

            Wow so much has been happened this month! During my time here I have been taking a course called the Apostolic Missions Course. It is focused on understanding Islam and ways in which to reach them for Christ. The short of it is just being bold and share your faith; there is no reason to hide it! The world’s problem is not Muslims its nominal Christians who are too scared to share their faith!! We also received training on how to reach Muslims from Georges Houssney. He works for and founded Horizons International. He is originally from Lebanon and has spent the majority of his life reaching out to the Muslim community, training up missionaries and speaking out against the “insider” movement in the Middle East.

            This month three other staff and I went on what is called a “faith outreach”. This is based off of Luke 9:1-9 and Matthew 10, where Jesus sends out the disciples into the towns with nothing but the clothes on their back. The team and I did just this; we brought no money or food and minimal clothing. We felt like God was calling us to Sacramento and the San Francisco bay area to reach out to the Muslim populations there. God provided all of our needs, the gas to get there and back, every meal and a place to stay every night. God even provided us with simple pleasures like shampoo and conditioner, coffee and hot showers every morning.

We even saw two people get healed through prayer. One young man had been deaf in his left ear since an IED blew up near him while in Afghanistan. We prayed over him and his ear became healed!! Another guy had some muscle damage in his shoulder and was in constant pain, after we prayed for him the pain was gone and his shoulder was healed!! Praise God for these two miracles. We did not see anyone come to Christ but we did share the gospel with many Muslims and non-Muslims alike. My favorite part was meeting with so many international Christians and getting to pray Korean style with Koreans!

This month has been so full on and such a blessing. I fly to my parents’ home in Northern Washington to surprise my family for Thanksgiving. It was a nice break to relax, enjoy my family, give thanks and get prospective for the future events to come. Thank you all so much for your continued prayer and support! Feel free to e-mail any time.

 

 

God bless,

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...
