Momentum

Finding it in some places, and looking for it in others.

The ministry at Crosspointe is going going extremely well.  We are engaging the community, God is working in students hearts, and the local body is embracing the youth more and more in preparation for my departure.  These are all things that many of us have been praying for.   God has really blessed what is happening there!

On the other side of my world, I am still sitting near 50% of my needed support.  I am looking toward going to okinawa at the beginning of April to take advantage of retreats and other opportunities to really engage the students there.  As exciting as a new marriage and a new ministry are, i’d rather spread the excitement out, and have an opportunity to be with these students before we get married in June.

Praise God for what is happening in the Firestone community!

Pray for supporters to come alongside through prayer and finances right now
to enable the beginning of ministry in Okinawa this spring.

Pray in all of this that i would trust God to take care of and prepare the hearts of students on both sides of the world.

Training

This week I am at cadence headquarters through Wednesday.  It’s three days of training for missionaries who will be heading to the field this spring.  Connecting with the staff is always refreshing for perspective.   It’s also great to see the house ministry, and the hearts of people that God has called ot the field in different ways, and see that God is doing some amazing things here.

I feel in limbo as the times are shifting.  Wedding 4 months away, leaving a ministry, starting a new one, raising support.  The biggest challenge for me is being fully present wherever I am.  Especially with an overseas fiance.  I have found that prayer is the piece that keeps me on track.  Remembering that it is God who needs to pave th way in each aspect of life, and I need to let him go before me.  IN those times of prayer, I see his heart for the next task, the next relationship, and it keeps my focus where it needs to be.  As always, I love to hear from you, and i definitely covet your prayers.
