Hey everyone! Giving you an update here from Lakeside, Montana!! Life here is going great. I am learning so much about God. It is incredible! Last week would have to have been the best week so far. We learned about the Holy Spirit.
Are speaker last week was Nick Gough. The Spirit of God is with him! The first day he prophesied over everyone. When he got to me I was scared. But he looked at me and said "I will heal people, I am a very encouraging person, and that God is calling me for relocation." I dont know what the "relocation" means but I am really excited to see what God has in store for me.
Tuesday was a hard day for all of us here. One of the people in out class decided to go home. It was an emotional night for all of us. During night lecture we opened up with worship. But during worship the Spirit fell onto the room. We decided to stay in worship and prayer. BEST DECISION EVER!!! For the first ten minutes I was just standing there worshiping and praying. Next thing I know I am face down on the ground crying and just praying out. After a while people came over and started praying and prophesying over me. I started just screaming out for God. I could feel him but I wanted way more! I want to be overflowing with the love of God. After that night I have been a new person. I am so much more alive in my Spirit. I am still in the process of living out only in the Spirit and not my flesh. Its hard but I can do it.
Wednesday was an amazing day. At night we had a Giving Night. A Giving Night is a day for the class you are in to gather together and make your financial needs known. If you want to you can donate money or things to people to help them out. At the start of the night our class had over $8,000 to pay in order for everyone to be have fully paid their DTS off. We started at 7pm. Very slowly the money amount started dropping. After two hours we all yelled in celebration. All the money came in. I was on the ground praying. I jumped up to celebrate and ended upon the ground again crying. For those of you who do not know, I came here with $2,000, God provided $4,000 for me. I have never really relied on God for s much. I was crying in celebration. It felt so amazing that I am paid off. The amount of support my classmates, God, and everyone who has supported me is just so incredible. Now I will make sure I never lose faith. My God is good and will always provide.
This week we are learning about Missions. Are speakers name is Don, he is part of the Taiwan YWAM Base. So far the message is really good. I cant wait to hear more from him the rest of the week.
Please continue to pray for me. Pray that my heart will starting beating for Uganda. Also be praying for my health. I have been getting sick and not feeling lately and its really hard. Thank you all for the love and the support. God bless!

So much more
Hey everyone! I apologize for not keeping up on my blog. Life here in Montana is crazy! Every single day I learn something new. Its just amazing.
Since the last time I posted a lot has happened. Two weeks ago we had a man named Chris Lautsbaugh came up from South Africa and spoke about grace. I just have to say that he did the best job ever! I have never heard a better sermon on grace. He went into detail on redemption and salvation. By the end of the week I was on my face crying out to God. I didnt deserve his grace yet he gave it to me. God adopted me into his family. I am so madly in love with God even more!
Last week was an amazing week. We went on our mini outreach to Salem, Oregon. We did so much! FOr our lecture time we talked about relationships. But we did so much more! One of the jobs I did was to walk the streets and evangelize. The other days I worked with the Union Gospel Mission, I ate lunch with the people living there. Then after that I went to the store and helped price items. It was such an amazing experience. On thursday night we all got to go to Portland to work with Under the Bridge Ministries. I have to say that this changed my view on so many things. The small groups I was in had the job to walk the street and talk to the homeless. We started walking and ran into a man who called himself Ace. He was standing on the street playing his ukulele. Next to him was a kid named Spencer. I has the opportunity to talk to Spencer. He told me a little bit of his life. The reason why he was in Portland was because he wanted to hang out with the homeless. I realized that he was not homeless. We started talking about my story and what I was doing in Portland. When I told him I was a Christian he started smiling. Now he was not a Christian but he believes in a higher power. He told me that he thinks everything is about love, and how he loves everyone no matter what. Even though this man was not a Christian I felt I met the richest man ever! He was filled with so much love and compassion for people he did not even know. After a while it was time for me to go. When we walked away from each other I realized we had spent an hour and a half talking to each other. I was so surprised i could talk that long to someone. Spencer if you are reading this I love you man and will be praying for you everyday.
On Friday we had the day off. SO I GO TO SEE MY MOM!!!! My mom drove four hours to Portland to see me! We had a fun day catching up and hanging out with each other. I loved it so much!
On Saturday are group drove back to the base. For those of you who did not know, I had the opportunity to come to Montana three months ago. There I met and became friends with the Fall DTS class. Well they are back! When we got back to the base most of the people I became friends with were there. The rest came back in a few hours later. Right now the Fall DTS is having their debriefing week. I am so happy so be able to reunite with my friends. Cant wait for them to share the stories of things that happened.
Alright! So thats all that has been happening. This week we are talking about Spiritual Warfare! So far its been really good.
Thank yo so much for all of your pray and support. Right now I still have $2,100 to pay off. But God will provide. Please continue to pray for my team and me. If you feel like you would like to donate anything at all you can email me at regan_beal@live.com. Love you all so much! God bless
