The End for A While

Hello!
Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you all know that this is the last time I will be updating through my blog for the time being, until I return from China. I will be in China from Sept 15 - Dec 2. I will be sure to do a city-by-city update when I return, but as for now, I am not able to give out detailed information.

The Lord has been so good to me these last several months, and I am so excited to see what He will do through our team in China. Blessings on you guys :) Much love!

August 2009 - Fire and Fragrance School

Hey !!
This week we have our last speaker for the school: David Damien. He is talking on Reformation History and motivating us to seek the Heart of Jesus on an intimate level so that we may be obedient to follow after the Lord's desires for the nations.

This past week we had an amazing time with our speaker Stacy Campbell, an amazing woman of God. She talked beautifully about Prophecy, Holy Spirit, Church History, and Revival. A huge week of inspiration for sure!

We have also had Kenny Peavy, a worship leader and amazing prophet ministering in Hollywood, CA as well as Jamie Dixon, a 23 year old Revivalist ministering in the Northeast of America. Both of them radically following after the heart of Jesus.

There have been awesome things happening around here recently. Several people from the community have dedicated/rededicated their lives to the Lord, miraculous financial provisions have occurred, and much more.

In other news, I will be leaving for China in 17 days, so I've been preparing my heart for the next 3 months and I cannot wait to see what's going to happen over there!

Also, praise the Lord that my finances have been coming in steadily and as of now I only need about $700 or so to be completley covered financially. So thank you SO much to all of you for giving and praying, it is such a blessing!

If you feel led to help give financially to help me reach my needed goal, please let me know at ashley.muller@gmail.com

Blessings and much love,
♥ Ashley

Week 5

Hey everyone!
I am now into the beginning of my fifth week here in Kona. This past week we had our staff speaking about character, and spiritual discipline as well as some fun facts about the Jewish calendar/holidays and what they mean.

This past week was our deadline to pay for our "lecture phase" fees. Praise God I had all the money I needed for that! He is so faithful, and His provision now gives more confirmation that this is truly where He wants me to be at this season of my life.

If you all read my last update you would know that I still need $3000 to be completely covered for the rest of my "outreach phase" -- serving and "working" in China for 10 weeks.

Please continue to pray about partnering with me prayerfully and/or financially, as it would be such a great help.

Thanks for following me on my journey in the prayer and missions world! Blessings!

*Here is a video that one of my staff members sent out to his church that gives more insight on what we are doing:

CHINA!

Hey everyone!
Sorry for the delayed updates, this school has been keeping me MORE than occupied!
We have been reading several books at one time, trying to just soak everything into our hearts and minds -- it has been very intense!

This is now the middle of our 3rd week here in Kona, and our speaker this week is Corey Russell from the International House of Prayer (IHOP) in Kansas City. He has been blowing our minds away with revelation after revelation!

As you can see from the title of this blog entry, I will be going to CHINA for 3 months starting in September! I am very excited because I will be able to use my Mandarin to help the team in most ways (although it has become pretty sketchy since I've been away).

But please, keep me in your prayers! The Lord is doing amazing things in my life right now, definitly narrowing down future options for me, and laying passions in my heart focused mainly around injustice issues!

As for finances, I still need a remaining amount of $3000. Please let me know at ashley.muller@gmail.com if you feel the Lord is leading you to financially support me.

May God bless you all! Thanks for reading,
xoxoxoxo

Decisions

Hey!
I have safely arrived in Kona for another 5 months, however my luggage was lost on the way. It flew to Maui, and back to Chicago, and I'm hoping to recieve it tonight Lord willing!

It has been amazing seeing all my friends here again and being a part of this strongly intense program that is totally firing us up and getting us super excited about what God has in store for these next few months! However, there is a large decision I have to make by tomorrow morning so if you could please pray for me as I make it that would be greatly appreciated: I have to decide where the Lord wants me to go on outreach. There are several options which I can't share all of them, so I would just love your prayer! THANKS!!!

Departure Tomorrow

Hey!
Sorry it has been so long since I have updated. I have been thoroughly enjoying my small amount of time at home, in which I have been incredibly busy. I just returned yesterday from a 2 week conference in Upstate NY that I helped out at (in the Toddler program). It was quite exhausting but God is doing great things by preparing new missionaries to go out into the world.

If you haven't heard yet, I will be departing tomorrow morning (very early) for Kona, Hawaii again. I am heading back to YWAM for another 5 month voluntary missions program focusing on Worship, Intercession, Spiritual Warfare, and Evangelism (WISE). I am very excited to see what God has in store for me this time !

I have yet to fully update on my trip to Morocco but I plan to do so as soon as I get some downtime (most likely during one of my layovers!) Thanks for following me! I will try to update more often this time !

God Bless!!!

Back from Outreach !!

HELLO !!!
Thank you guys so much for all your AMAZING prayers and support!
I can't believe it has been 2 months since I have last updated, I am sorry I may not have warned you that I could not update my blog while on my outreach. Morocco is a very closed country and does not allow the name YWAM to be mentioned otherwise they kick you out of the country.

Thank God I have arrived back in Kona safely after my 2 months of travel through Morocco, and the Netherlands. He taught me SO much through this trip and really broke down many barriers around my heart. I would call it more of an "inreach" than an "outreach"

It was quite hard in Morocco to be a woman and live under Islamic tradition. The injustices and oppressions were too overwhelming to handle; I definitly had to practice 'submitting my personal rights and opinions' throughout the entire trip.

As women, we ministered mainly through prayer since it was not appropriate to approach people and talk about Jesus, due to respecting culture and religion. Therefore, we waited on God a lot and walked through cities praying.

That is all I have time for now, thank you so much for keeping me in your prayers and I will be able to keep in touch more easily and update much more often now that I am back on North American turf.

GOD BLESS YOU!!
