Yesterday we were driving from a friends house in Queensland to my brother's place in Sydney.
We have been traveling kind of the old school way...
with no GPS. ;) So, since we don't have paper maps we have been uploading maps from the free WiFi at McDonalds onto our iPad. It hasn't been the fastest internet and we can't always load the full maps... just the general directions.

So, we are very excitedly planning and preparing for a trip coming up in the new year. We had put this trip on hold in the summer due to timing
but we have finally found a good time to schedule it.
It has been our plan to scout several different locations to set-up outreaches for the DTS. The purpose of this trip will be to see how we can partner with them to raise awareness and support for The Haythorpeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00815267181365433465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365280659574770083.post-7521494425144370852011-11-15T11:17:00.000-08:002011-11-29T17:54:46.473-08:00A bookshelf prayer

We recently just had one of the most controversial holidays pass... Halloween.
A bit of History: The origin of “Halloween" begins in
the eighth century. There was a holiday appointed in The Church to honor and celebrate the Saints (All Saints Day) and the soon-to-be Saints (All Souls Day), later combining to All Hallows' Eve. All Hallows' Eve was a day for prayer and celebration. Then, as in The Haythorpeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00815267181365433465noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365280659574770083.post-74312899980946319092011-10-25T15:38:00.000-07:002011-10-25T15:38:40.481-07:00Pimps, Prostitutes and Trafficking

Moving to this neighborhood (Bayview Hunters Point, San Francisco), even though its only for a short season, we knew we would encounter some confronting things.

We go to the YWAM Base in San Francisco on Mondays for our weekly meeting. I barely got up this morning as we had a very busy weekend.
We had told the kids last night that we were going and they were so excited so when 6am rolled around, that was the only deciding factor for me to push forward and go... otherwise, I would have just turned over and went back to sleep.

Taking the most of
the opportunity, I walked my kids through safety guidelines of an earthquake.
Where to go, how to protect each other, and what are the most important things to have with you. We have had a few drills since and will continue to do so to keep it in the forefront of their mind.

Here we are packing up boxes ready to move in the next couple of days. As we've been doing this, it has really caused us to dive into a time of INTENSE prayer about our future and what God has for YWAM Ember Ink.

We're just days out from our move to San Francisco and looking at the next step seems daunting at times... not going to lie...

Over the last month, we've been on an INTENSE search with God about our next step. We wanted to make sure we were exploring all our options and asking the right questions.

Its funny. When God first spoke to us about moving to the Bay Area... I was pretty much kicking and screaming. Not because
I don’t love it here. I actually do. It was that I just had made Australia home in my heart. I felt it was home. I made it home.
So, when we moved to the Bay Area we had landed not really knowing where we would end up.

If you have been following our faith journey for any amount of time, its evident that God has us living on the edge and
we are constantly being challenged to live a life FULL of faith and submission to our Loving, Sovereign Father. I hope you take note of that sentence as "challenged" is not only the word that describes the feelings we have about life but I've written an endearing description The Haythorpeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00815267181365433465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365280659574770083.post-41271540871082580902011-08-26T14:17:00.000-07:002011-11-29T10:12:01.173-08:00August 2011 UpdateSummer is soon leaving and the school year has started.

So, for a few years now I’ve taught on the subject of ‘Hearing the Voice of God’. And for the most part, its pretty
practical things of applying Bible principles. I feel confident that I hear God’s voice regularly and He has been ever faithful in each step I/we take out in faith as He leads... BUT... recently I have been challenged in this area.

We had a road trip up to Oregon for my brother's wedding. Its was an exciting since the last time we had EVERY single one
of my siblings and our spouses together was in 2006! So we packed up in the car and left and a pretty unknown journey with our new tires. ;)

It all started on Monday when I sat down and prayed a simple prayer. “Lord, should I get new tires?”
The situation was that we were heading up to Oregon in 2 days for Angela’s youngest brother’s wedding and with tires in bad shape and a spare on, we were rolling the dice with not dealing with it...
Problem was, we only had $1600 in our account and with rent due in a few days as well, it didn’The Haythorpeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00815267181365433465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365280659574770083.post-42039400750462202552011-08-02T16:54:00.000-07:002011-09-21T10:07:10.096-07:00Thailand Changes

Just wanted to keep you up to date with some changes that are coming up:
So as I've been preparing for a trip to Thailand
in a few weeks, I've been in contact with the ministries and the team of ladies that I invited to go. In the process there are have been a few things I've been unsettled with but have been just pushing through as to not miss this opportunity.

From the moment we landed in Kona, Hawaii a strange sense of peace overtook me as we walked off the plane and into the cozy airport. We were picked up by one of our oldest and dearest friends and as he placed the lei over our heads and kissed us on the cheek an overwhelming emotion took over as I felt a familiarity… We were with family.

So, taking it back to February or March, our good friend Andrew called to say he was coming through SFO Airport and had a layover for a couple of hours. It had been over 3 years since we had seen him and Luke jumped at the chance to have a coffee with him, even for a short time.

Well, it is always humbling when we send out appeals, because there is always this train of thought that chugs in my head "again, can't we just have it together enough that we don't have to resort to such needy and possibly annoying appeals?!" .
I find that times of great need bring out lots of insecurities, fears and cowardice instead of simple trust and obedience.

Recently, I had the privilege to speak at San Jose State University for their Human Trafficking Awareness Week.
InterVarsity Christian Fellowship sponsored the night and invited me to speak. I shared on the topic of 'Does God Care?' about this issue.

When the light bulb went out, it was pitch black and I felt around to find a window where I flung the curtains back. As soon as I did, a bright light flooded the room and I was blinded for a moment but as soon as my eyes adjusted, I saw EVERYTHING so clear.

We are asking for prayer as we seek the Lord today. For details please read our story below...
Our Story in a nutshell:
As you know, we are in full-time ministry with YWAM here in the Bay Area. We are pioneering the very first YWAM work in the South Bay. Basically, our ministry focus is using music and media as tools of evangelism and intimacy with God. And as we see people wanting The Haythorpeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00815267181365433465noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365280659574770083.post-11062438820142632772010-12-01T15:49:00.000-08:002011-11-29T10:33:42.620-08:00Keep the Haythorpes in Missions Update
Hey Friends!
I wanted to follow up from our ‘Keep the Haythorpes in Missions’ blog.
First, thank you to those who responded! We
have felt much love and encouragement in this time of hardship. We do feel very blessed.
Our praise report is that we received 6 new partners in this last month! What an encouraging step…

In the car, we engaged in our first real conversation with each other the whole day – as you do when you are working and have 4 little munchkins taking up most of the attention. Before we knew it, our superficial conversation turned in to an argument as we breached the conversation of finance. ARGH!

Suffering in SilenceA few years back, our really good friend and old ministry director Robyn Mulligan was praying for us. She said, “When I think of Luke and Ang… I think of perseverance… You guys always seem to quietly push through no matter how hard the circumstances get, yet you do it in silence. Keep letting people in.” This came to mind today The Haythorpeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00815267181365433465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365280659574770083.post-87977195839658781022010-09-01T20:27:00.000-07:002011-11-29T11:09:04.363-08:00September 2010 Update: SeptEMBER is here…

Thinking that next year we reach our first big milestone... 10 years of marriage, I was prompted to go research what the traditions are and what it means.
Traditionally, the symbol gift is tin/aluminum. It kind of makes me laugh to see 'aluminum' be the gift as this reminds me of one of the first debates we had in married life.

Do YWAMers get paid?
Youth With A Mission (YWAM) is a volunteer movement of thousands of Christians in hundreds of locations who are seeking to make Christ known in word and deed. Most people in YWAM need financial partners in order to do their ministry. They depend on God to motivate people to contribute their financial resources. Any amount is greatly appreciated.

The saint's duty is to be still and listen. There is a "darkness" that comes from too much light-that is the time to listen... When God gives you vision and darkness follows, wait. God will bring the vision He has given you to reality in your life if you will wait on his timing.

Our long ‘in process’ update is finally here! As we have stepped out in pursuing beginning a ministry centre here in the bay area, we finally have some solid details!!
To officially launch this ministry with YWAM we need to see a minimum of $5500 /month of personal support raised. While this will not be our complete support it will mean that we will not have to rely on any income The Haythorpeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00815267181365433465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365280659574770083.post-80739564056125736382009-11-24T09:39:00.000-08:002009-11-30T12:34:49.176-08:00Joy's 6th Birthday

To broad brush it, we are missionaries with Youth With A Mission (YWAM). We've been pioneering a Ministry Center (Ember Ink) that focuses on advocating for and assisting ministries that work on the front-line of social and gender-based injustices issues. From poverty to human trafficking and modern day slavery, we desire to see radical change and have God be immersed in these darkest placesThe Haythorpeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00815267181365433465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365280659574770083.post-59701660358919280652009-09-01T00:00:00.001-07:002010-03-06T19:17:58.586-08:00Vision Statement
To Know God and make Him Knownis the broader vision of YWAM. In a nut shell, this is it... This is our vision. However, with our personal flavor, we believe that we should know God's heart for justice and make his heart for every person and every nation known. A little more specific to us, but overall our heart is to know him and to share him with the world.

To empower the people of the kingdom of God
to seek justice for the poor, outcast, broken and needy.

What does 'HooRoo' even mean?? Well, it's a distinctively Australian way of saying “goodbye”.
The Girls recently had a goodbye party for their school friends and we celebrated it by going to an Australian Wildlife Park called Billabong Sanctuary. It was a very fun time to just hang out and spend time with friends.
We shared familiar Aussie treats like Lamingtons, Shapes and ANZAC Bikkies.The Haythorpeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00815267181365433465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365280659574770083.post-74700991335235864262009-08-18T11:43:00.000-07:002009-11-10T17:37:41.462-08:00Overwhelmed!
We recently were given a farewell party by our Reef to Outback Family. We reminisced over the past 10 years working and living with this amazing tribe we call YWAMers... or more specifically Reef to Outbackers.
There were many kind words from very close friends, Ken and Robyn (the Directors), and Steve (President of YWAM Australia).

Do YWAMers get paid?
Youth With A Mission (YWAM) is a volunteer movement of thousands of Christians in hundreds of locations who are seeking to make Christ known in word and deed. Most people in YWAM need financial partners in order to do their ministry. They depend on God to motivate people to contribute their financial resources. Any amount is greatly appreciated.

Our History...
Luke is an Aussie bloke through and through. The eldest of 5, he mainly grew up in South Australia with homes in other places such as Victoria and New Zealand. At the tender age of 18, Luke headed up to Queensland to join YWAM.
He began his journey in YWAM in January 1999 by doing a Discipleship Training School (DTS) at YWAM Reef to Outback in Australia where he The Haythorpeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00815267181365433465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365280659574770083.post-71933456635828269862009-02-01T04:00:00.001-08:002011-03-21T16:39:10.000-07:00Partner With Us

stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully
to the work of the Lord, because you know that
your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

We, as a couple, have a few core values that have stayed with us over the years. We have found YWAM’s values to be very similar to ours which, in turn, has given us much joy to be associated with such an amazing ministry. This is what we carry as our core values:
FAMILY
MINISTRY
Intimacy & Friendship with God
See people find who they are in God, their future and destiny in Him
