There are moments in time where you have to surrender your ideas, thoughts, dreams, and reasoning for exactly how something is going to work out.
Here I am week three in to the School of Worship that I am staffing at YWAM Nashville in Adams, TN. Why am I here? What is the purpose for me to be apart of discipling others to worship?
For as long as I can remember God has placed a love for creativity, and music throughout my bones. I remember as a little girl 4 or 5 sitting in my room with my dad with his red little song book singing worship songs. Then jumping up to my teen years where I struggled with depression and through being involved in a music ministry called Jacob Jacket, I gained the desire to learn guitar. My parents gave it a test run by borrowing a guitar to see if it were something I'd keep up with. Well, for a solid month every day I would come home from school and sing worship songs to learn how to strum and play a song. It was a way instead of holding in my depression I was able to be set free because my focus turned to bringing more Glory to God than my situations. You can see all throughout the history of the bible how often God used worship as the first attack within warfare. There is more to worship than we as mere humans give credit to it. Over many years I have had to fight to have a voice to worship with. I personally believe there is a such an attack to prevent us from worshiping, so all I want to do is inspire others to dive deep into the relationship with God and realize that he is worthy of praise rain or shine.
Recently, I returned from Tunisia, which is predominantly a Muslim nation, and while I was there I realized again how everyone worships, no matter whether they are a Followers of Christ, or even the complete opposite side of the spectrum Atheistic. While watching the discipline and dedication a percentage of my Muslim friends, I thought about what if the population turned from all the false worship and turned to being worshipers of Jesus? And how is it that we can learn to worship in spirit and truth as the Gospel of Luke states that Jesus is seeking? I truly believe it is a process of discipleship within the community of believers, and sanctification through walking with the Lord! I want to help create the infectious heart attitude that Jesus is worthy of our full lives, and worship is that overflow.
I so desire to see hearts transformed by coming to the revelation that Jesus is Lord and Savior, then overflowing to worship Him with everything they have. I am sure to many this is me rambling, but I know God is worthy of every ounce of me being poured out for the sake of His name to get the Glory due to him. I am prepared to go wherever he sends me, and also know there is stirring for me to go overseas for a long period to pioneer a School that disciples and teaches about worship to new converts. (I will share more details as I feel the Lord releases me to share details). I am not content just sharing about Jesus and seeing them make a commitment in other countries, but I want to walk with them in the process and live life with them teaching and learning alongside them.

Last fall, I felt the Lord shared with me vision for the future and explained to start getting tools in my belt to move towards that vision. While in Tunisia, God gave me even more vision for a direction I feel he is moving me in, so staffing this School of Worship is just another piece of the puzzle, same with going to Peru to lead this schools students on an outreach. I believe its prepping me with the necessary equipment to do what he is calling me to do in North Africa. While here in the Nashville area (my home), it is necessary for me to raise more monthly financial partnerships.
In the process of following what I feel God has called me to (which has been a whirlwind) I haven't gotten the proper chance to raise the finances required for me to do the ministry I have to been called to and have been doing for almost a year now, and God has blown me away in His faithfulness and taught me so much about it. But now I am at a point where I NEED HELP! I need a network of believers who desire to be apart of international missions to help send me out. Next year I would like to pursue the School of Frontier Missions in Spain, and work there until I can get in to the field to pioneer the dream God has placed in my heart (which will require me to have a minimum of $2000 in support). Being monthly supported (Currently having only $300 per month committed support) I need more individuals and families to commit to being apart of this ministry. I currently need at least $750 per month, leaving me with $450 more to raise per month. Then I also need to raise the funds to pay for my plane tickets to Peru which at most will be $1,000. Anything you can do helps!
If you'd like to be apart of the ministry through YWAM you can make checks payable to: YWAM Nashville (leaving my name off for tax-deduction receipts) and mail it to Misty Wallace c/o YWAM NASHVILLE, PO Box 78219 Nashville, TN 37207.
If you are interested in giving through automatic bank drafting that is possible as well. Please email me at mistylwallace85@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like to meet to discuss further details in regards to what God is doing.
Blessings!
Misty
