CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

I have great news, everyone.

A few of you already knew this, but after attending a missions conference with my pastoral staff this past March...I had a real life-changing revelation. I felt called to enter the ministry full time, especially in the area of missions. I wanted to be a full time missionary, and I knew it in a way I have never known anything else in my life. This was DEFINATELY my call.

But, problem was that I was attending a secular university on scholarship. Should I stay there? Should I look into seminary? I had no clue what to do next. Well, my pastors, parents and I prayed really hard and deep about it (even fasted for a while) and I decided I should apply to seminary. More specifically, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas.

After several weeks of forms, files, and nail-biting intensity, I just got a letter today:

I GOT IN!

So I am officially moving off to Fort Worth this August to start my missionary training. I'm sooooooooo excited about this. I don't know what it will mean for CAA as far as when I can get online and stuff from my dorm/apartment, howver I'm not even going to worry about it. Just thought I'd share the great news with you guys. ^^

Oh my gosh! Congratulations Ashley! I'm sure you'll do wonderful at ministry... you've really helped me alot in my struggles. Good luck, man!

CONGRATS!!! Make us proud.

YAY, ASHLEY!! God has taken care of you! I'll be praying that God will use this opportunity to its fullest protential.

Thank you everyone. ^^ I knew you guys would rejoice with me.

Oh, and my degree right now is under "Bachelor of Arts and Humanities". I'm not sure if I will stick around for a masters of missiology (it's an accelerated program, so I could be done in like another 3 or 4 years) or if from there I will go straight to work for the IMB. But, the first step is already done!

Congratulations and best of luck!

I'm glad to hear this, Ashley. Hopefully the years to come will be very fruitful, and I'll pray that you're receptive to God's leading.

>^.^< I'm so happy for you Ashley! My best wishes are to you and I hope everything goes well at your new school. You will be a great missionary, I am very sure. >^^<

CONGRATULATIONS, ASHLEY! May you be greatly blessed in this calling. I know the Lord has awesome things in store for you. ^______^

May this go well for you.

God bless,

The study of young women.

As much as that made me crack up, missiology is actually the study/preparation for work in the mission field. I suppose it's going to be intensive cultural training, along with in depth biblical knowledge and evangelizing skills.

But thanks so much guys! I will be sure to keep you all updated as things develop.

You know I back you in wherever life takes you. Congrats on getting in.

Ash, that's terrific! I pray the Lord will use you as He needs to. ^_^
