The last 10%

I apologize for not updating sooner. This New Year has been a whirlwind experience so far.

In the beginning of January, I flew down to OneHope for meetings on research projects and Field Status updates. Since my last newsletter, my budget was at 44-47% and miraculous God has taken it and increased it beyond my wildest imaginations. Currently, I’m at 90%!!!!! God get’s all props for that. He’s the one who has used people like you to be instrumental in my life by coming alongside and partner with me. Thank you for responding to God’s prompting, I am truly blessed and humbled by the responses I’ve received.

With my budget being so close to completion, as I talked with my director at OneHope the projected date for joining OneHope is the 1st week of March. So between now and then, I need to raise 10% (roughly $200 more in monthly support) which I am confident that with God it is possible ☺

Because of my involvement in the Displaced Communities project, formatting a NEW Book of Hope targeting children/youth affected by natural disaster and wars that are currently relocated, it’s possible that I’ll be going to Haiti for a short while. If I do go to Haiti, I’ll be leading U.S. teams distributing the new Books of Hope and partnering with local churches and hosting a VBS (vacation Bible School) type based curriculum we are currently developing. Ultimately though, for this year OneHope will be stationing me in South Africa to assist in the research projects that the Cultivate Team in S. Africa are currently working on. I get to go back to South Africa, I’m so happy!!!!

Back here in Chicago, I’ve had amazing opportunities to speak at other churches. Mid-January I went out to Freeport Illinois Crossroads Community Church where my old youth pastor TJ Roberts was at. I took along Angie, a student from my home church Belmont A/G who has a heart for missions as well, and spoke to over 130 students in their youth ministry. I talked about puzzle pieces and allowing God to put the pieces of your life together and in His timing. Nearly every student there responded at the end to the message. This past Sunday, I had the pleasure of attending Maranatha Chapel with Pastor Doug and Lamond Banks and was able to share my story and the call of God to missions.

God is continuing to open up doors for me! I’m seeing the promise of Philippians 1:6 come to pass, and I stand in humble amazement of the God we serve. If you already haven’t and would like to partner with me and the last $200 needed to get on the mission field, I’d ask that you prayerfully consider pledging $5 or $10 a month. That’s all it will take! As much as 1 specialty cup of coffee a month.
