Graduation of the Counceling School

Hey guys! For them who didn't know yet... I did it! I graduated from the YWAM 2nd level School of Biblical Counseling. 



To be honest I'm proud of this achievement! I mean, I never had problems with primary school, high school etc... But to be honest the YWAM schools really takes your to another level when it's all about your character, your integrity, your willingness to renounce and change. In these schools we live together 24/7 so there's no space for faking or living a double life.

So honestly this school was way more difficult I imagined. All of my school mates felt at least once that they just want to leave the school and go back home. Well, I didn't because I knew this was my place. But I'm just so thankfull for the staff and leadership that they had grace over me and didn't send me home even when I might deserve it.

God totally guided me through all these 6 months and I'm just amazed by what He did. For the first time for many many years I'm actually doing good with myself. I just love the man God made me! I have way much clearer idea who I am as a son, as beloved, as man, as warrior. I understand I was created for intimacy with my Daddy God and I don't need to do anything to get there. Just allow Him to enter to my reality and brokeness. This all just make me wonder if I even was a believer before this school? Yes, I believed, but so many lies about myself and God. 

In the same time there's so many processes that just started during the school and now it's time to keep on walking in this new truth I received. Many times we want the chances quickly and it's easy to get frustrated when you don't see that much chance. It's scary to see that even after receiving so much healing your inner enemies are still real and it's still easy to deceive yourself. 

But I decide to live above the fear of going back to the old. The fear will not control me, but I grab it as a weapon I point against every enemy rising up their head. Beware, I'm not fighting in my own strength any more!

I wanted to become better during the school. I didn't. What I did, I discovered the good God had already set in me. And well, with all the bad that's still there... I became more dependent - more dependent on God and the help of my family around. 

Ok, let's not get that emotional. Let's show the photos of the graduation! 

Diploma! 
The MC's of the night: Javier & Juli

Beulah sharing the word 

My friends from the Ituzaingó´s base really
surprised me and came to visit me.
Thank u so much guys!

I'm gonna miss this guy. Even though Lisandro was not part of our school, we became really good friends.

The last night all together!

But yeah, I just want to thank you all for sharing this journey with me. I can't find words to thank you for your prayers, encouragement and support. I love you people!

Let's give thanks for:

  • God really healed me and shaped me during the school
  • The good health and support during the school
  • The amazing outreach


Let's pray for:

  • All of the school mates that they'd allow God to finish His work in their life
  • Refreshment for all the staff members and leadership
  • My new time in YWAM Ituzaingó here in the province of Buenos Aires


P.S. So basicly I'm back in the YWAM base here in Ituzaingó, Buenos Aires. It's good to be back here and I feel really loved and welcomed once again. I'm working in the art ministry where I used to be before as well. Hope to write some updates soon!
