Hello friends and teamates!   I first wanted to say that it was such a joy to get to know some of you all before this Race and before training camp.  The last two weeks have been intense spiritually.  God has been faithful through finances and support, but He has also been telling me that there’s still some investment in the kingdom before leaving for the Race.  I was on my knees late Monday night praying hard that He would give me clarity in this process and it was confirmed to me that I will be moving to the Jan 2010 team.  It’s tough for sure, but I was accepted in March and within a short time to get ready, He was telling me that it was a good thing to focus on to get ready for, but I can’t sacrifice the ministry of Christ to those I’m with here.  There is no fear of leaving, and there is no worries about funds, God works for the good of those who loves him according to His will.  There’s a lot of things “logistically” I could say about the move and how much I will miss everyone on this team, but I know that everyone on Jan 2010 team is just a stinkin’ awesome as you all are.  He has confirmed me that He not done molding me here yet in this part of the world.  The call for the Race is a “YES!” but the timing is just to wait five months, and because He wills it, and I am to be willing also.   I’m looking forward to this, and I’m already being broken in the process of it more than imaginable.  Faith is being stretched and trust is deeper in the Rock of my Salvation.  I know that it’s just as much faith to share Christ here as it is in Egypt and that for the next extra five months after Aug, He will let me know that.   I cannot go boldy proclaiming the gospel across seas if there’s still a lack of that in my hometown.  God bless you all and I look forward to keeping up with your journey.
