First DTS in Jamaica - Deaf World

Image

Hello, Everyone!


I hope you are all doing well since 2021 has begun. Wow, God has done so much with the pioneering of the DTS here in Jamaica!  It has been a little longer than normal, but it is good to communicate with you! I want to be honest with you that I have been struggling with my time management since the new season of DTS began in early January. I have had a lot of responsibilities as a staff, but at the same time, I need to learn how to keep you updated as my supporters and respond to your messages. I need your prayer for me to receive the Holy Spirit’s help and wisdom with time management. This newsletter will be a short message. Your understanding will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

 

I learned that some of you tried to reach me via Whatsapp and TextFree messages, but unfortunately, my old phone stopped working a month ago.  Good news, I just received a new phone. Please add my new Whatsapp number +1(876) 877-2388.

I decided to make a blog website so you can view all the newsletters that I have posted in the past. Some new supporters don't know my missionary journey with Jesus. Some people can't find the newsletters that they want to remember or share with others. I hope my website will be helpful for you! Here is the link: https://theshiningmoth4christ.blogspot.com/.

God has greatly impacted the students’ lives by getting them out of their comfort zone as they seek Him. I enjoyed watching how they have been really hungry for the truth of God. Not only them, I have also been growing a lot since I became staff. As I have grown a deeper relationship with God, I have noticed God using my spiritual gift of “shepherding” for His beautiful purpose. I have made strong connections with the students. With the Holy Spirit’s guidance, I have been challenging, training, and feeding them to get closer to God and empowering them how to be missionaries. I have seen the importance of humbling myself and being vulnerable before God and others.  Doing that has made the students feel comfortable to get to know me.


An interesting fact I discovered about myself: A few of the same teachers who have taught this present season also shared the same teachings in two years during my DTS. I have noticed that I have been ready to receive all the truth in my heart even more than two years ago. I am much more intentional about how to apply it to my life by going deeper with God. It is amazing to see the beautiful transformation of how God has been working in me.


Finally, I want to share the video testimony with you about how God has transformed my life. Now, I experience His freedom like a moth to the light! I want to warn you,“some content may be triggering for people who have experienced trauma or abuse. This video has mature content, not always suitable for children. My team re-enacts my real-life experiences. We do not celebrate any of the harmful things shown in this video. We celebrate God's ability to change the enemy's plan for evil into good!” For captions in the video that you can click “CC”. Here is the video below.

You can go ahead and share this video with anyone without asking my permission because it is God’s story. I pray that He uses it to change hearts.

 

Soon, I will write another newsletter with the outreach location and how you can partner with me to go share the gospel! Thank you for keeping me in your prayers. I appreciate your continuous support.

 

Love in Christ,

Kevlasha Humphrey

The Calling to Gambia

Image
  Gambia   (West Africa) Hello, Family and Friends! I have great news! God has called me to Gambia. Next year I will be working with two deaf missionaries, Josiah and Elizabeth Smith. They have two beautiful deaf children: an eight-month-old and a two-year-old. I met them at my graduation of disciple training school (DTS) last February. They are self-employed missionaries but partnered with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in Gambia. They normally don't have a team but because I obtained God's calling they will. Many unbelievable happenings occurred in which God answered our prayers and led us to each other. I want to share that story with you. The Smith family joined with YWAM DC ASL to commission me to Brazil. -05/04/18- The Smith family returned in  Gambia   from the USA -July 2018 The Smiths visited us at YWAM DC dinners a few times before I went back to Brazil. It was nice to get to know them more and talk about their experiences working in the Gambia. This is what s...

Put Feet to My Faith Greetings!  I hope your summer is off to a good start! As always, thank you for your prayers and support. I really appreciate your encouraging messages! I praise God for everything that He has done for us! I did so well during the Deaf Theology Center (DTC) season in Tennessee! I only have four weeks left to go! I am really looking forward to the DTC ceremony on June 3rd. SCRIPTURE   "I promise you what I promised Moses: ‘Wherever you set foot, you will be on land I have given you." Joshua 1:3 New Ministry in Process I want to share a short update about my new ministry. I had a meeting with some very knowledgeable and experienced people related to establishing new ministries. We discussed cross-culture, vision, and bylaws for my ministry. I know it will take a while  to prepare and develop, but I trust God to make it happen in His perfect timing. I am actively seeing how God places people in each other’s paths to get together for His purpose. I have a...

God Hears & Answers Prayers

Image
Greetings from Jacksonville, Illinois! I arrived here on the 22nd of August because I had a family emergency, my grandpa was close to death. I wanted to share with you a beautiful testimony about how God and His plan all came together to answer my prayers in the middle of my furlough season after the scripture below.   SCRIPTURE "Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it." John 14:13-14   Sharing Testimony About My  Papa Last Tuesday, August 18, my mom informed me that my grandpa was not doing well, so I prayed, “God, please bring together plans for me to fly from Texas. Please spare my  papa ’s life until I can see him. I ask this of you, I trust you. I trust your timing. This is your plan, not mine.” My family relatives have been visiting him. I constantly prayed everyday until when I landed at the airport on Saturday, August 22. I got home that night and prayed that my...
