A Heart To Help

These last two weeks I have been given the chance to help out here and there with a two week course that was being held here at YWAM San Francisco called RescueNet.
RescueNet is an international emergency disaster response team. They assist disaster victims with skills in search and rescue, emergency medicine, trauma counseling, fire suppression and refugee reception. This program is ran through YWAM Las Vegas and they are ALL volunteers. Every year they run this two week training course for people who would like to join.
During these two weeks I was able to participate in scenarios that they had through out the week. I was also invited to partake in the final scenario so I could see what RescueNet was about.
I've also have an interest in medical and had a heart for it, but wanted to keep it that way, didn't want to turn it into a profession. Getting the chance to hang out with the RescueNet staff and pick their brain, something just sparked in me. One of the staff was telling me that they need people to be able to work in the kids after disasters. It was like he was reading my mind. This is what I want to do!!! I love traveling, I love helping people, I love medical stuff AND it is with YWAM.
Because RescueNet is not a full time job and it is still you being on the mission field. I would be able to get a job that would allow me to leave in times when disaster happens. I feel like RescueNet was created me for. I would be able to fit my degree in what RescueNet is doing/wanting to do with kids and also be able to be hands on when disasters happen.

I always had an idea of what I wanted to do with my degree but still had those thoughts of not being sure about it. I'm still praying about it and the next course is still not until next year. So we will see what kind of doors the Lord opens up for me.

RescueNet really has everything I want to do and something I see doing in my life!
