Here I sit 2 weeks into one of the greatest adventures of my life so far. I had no real idea of what I would be doing this fall. Until about a month ago and even then not real sure what it would look like. I felt as if God was telling me that this season would be a season of training more technically and really advancing my music. Yes I am a rapper. But I have also been called to lead worship vocally as well. Every one who has a desire to get their stuff out there has to really train and take responsibility for their craft, so I am doing just that. I also am taking guitar lessons and am spending more of my time growing deeper with God and writing some fresh music.
I left home 2 weeks ago to come back to Orange County where I did my DTS (Discipleship Training School) outreach with YWAM (Youth with a Mission). I really felt that it was important for me to take God at His word, and really believe Him when He said that this would be an amazing 2 months.
I am living with an amazing family! I don't think that they realize how much of an answer to prayer they are!! Will and his wife Edi are amazing!! Will is this ridiculous beat genius who is very gifted with compiling music. He can hear it, if you know what I mean? I have been praying that the Lord would bring a beat guy in my path. And He has brought me here to the OC. Will is blessing me with his beats and helping me find my sound! Plus we are workin on some music together. And he is teaching me the guitar. I'm catching on pretty quickly, gotta love that!!! Edi is such a joy we laugh a lot. She is so generous! I've been so blessed by their hospitality and feel like I'm apart of the family. Thankful for them both in my life.
From here I go back home for Christmas and then back to Kona, Hawaii in January to staff the Fire and Fragrance school at the YWAM base in April. I don't have to pay for school fees but I do have to pay $350. a month to live on campus. Outreach fees will be half the amount being staff, which means that if the students pay $6,000. I will need to pay $3000. I am so excited to see what God will do.
Please consider partnering with me monthly with a financial donation and also in prayer.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my updates and for all your support.
Much Love,
Erin Crain
