YAV Elizabeth Welliver Arrives in Austin

“I am commissioned to follow Jesus and cross the borders that marginalize minority communities. I am asked to reflect on how I define ‘success’ and ‘abundance’ by practicing simple living this year and challenge the destructive norms of consumer culture. I am directed to follow local leaders who will challenge me and hold me accountable to fulfill my role as a partner in their work.”

On Sunday, August 27, 2017, we commissioned Elizabeth Welliver and Emma Warman, who dedicate a year of their lives to learn what God is doing through them and in them. We hope to follow their journey through their online blogs.
