My team and I are now in at town outside of Kiev, Ukraine at our final ministry site
for the eleven months. We are living at a camp that hosts several groups of youth
and children throughout the year. Our ministry this month has been focused a lot
on praying for the community that surrounds the camp, for the ministry itself, and
for the orphans of Ukraine and this week we are serving a church that is hosting
a Christian camp here by doing maintenance-type work (washing dishes, laundry,
cleaning bathrooms, etc.).
Over the past week and a half, we have had a lot of time to process all that we have
learned and experienced on the race an have tried to prepare mentally for the next
step of our lives.
Over the past 335 days I have lived with the same people, worked with same people,
and done life with the same people 24 hours a day and in two weeks I won’t be
around them anymore. We will all be hundreds to thousands of miles away, each
doing our own thing. We will all move on to something greater and will all hopefully
experience God in new ways and continue to give out all that He has given us over
the past year.
The world race has absolutely been the best decision I have ever made and the
greatest time of my life. I have been around the world with some of the most
awesome people I know but I am ready to head back to America for the next thing.
I am currently praying about attending a ministry school in California and have no
idea how I will pay for it if I get accepted. I am certain that God has called me to
consider this school as my next step and I will find out very soon how this will all
play out. I know that He is in control so I am just waiting. I ask that you would please
pray for me to have discernment and wisdom and to be led by the Spirit as I take the
next step.
Also, I would love to give back to all those who have been praying for me
over the past year. If you have specific prayer requests please email me at:
[email protected].
I will be praying for you all and cannot wait to see how God moves in each of your
lives. I pray that each of you are blessed abundantly today! You all mean so much to
me and I praise God for each of you.
