Since the beginning, our squad has been the squad of change. Before Training Camp there were route changes, Madagascar àNamibia, and then once Training Camp began, it was difficult to keep up with it all. We had two more route changes, Jamaicaà Haiti & LaosàMyanmar. Our mentor changed midweek. We lost our only squad leader and had three brand new people brought in just weeks before launching. Two weeks before Launch, my team found out our first country was no longer Serbia and was changing to Albania. We would be there with two other teams while the rest of the squad stayed in Serbia. Then we arrive in our second country, Romania, and while all of the other teams were being told about their hosts and their ministry for the month, my team was told that our original host fell through last minute for multiple reasons. So we were given a new host and a new ministry, which has been absolutely AMAZING. I can’t wait to share more of an in depth look at what we’ve been doing.
God has been throwing curveball after curveball for our squad and especially for my team, the Radiant Rubies. He has been teaching us lessons on flexibility and how He is in control. It is His mission and He will place us where we need to be. And when it comes to the Kingdom, we need to leave our expectations at home and let God lead.
“The steps of a man are established by the LORD…” Psalm 37:23
Which is a very long-winded way to say…..
We have another route change!
My team, accompanied by two others, is now going to Greece for next month’s ministry. We are to help with the Syrian refugee crisis on the island of Lesvos while the remainder of our squad will serve in Bulgaria.
There is a huge need here and we are all so excited to follow where God is leading us and to serve in such a unique way. We haven’t been told a lot of what this next month will look like, but it is going to be a challenging and demanding month. So please keep us in your prayers as we prepare to go.
But in order to go, the three teams going have been asked to fundraise an additional amount. We need to fundraise a total of $2,300 for all 17 of us. Please clink the link below if you are feeling led to donate.

My own fundraising updates:
My next deadline is to reach $13,000 by September 30th and I am only $23 away! And then just $5,000 to be fully funded! We are so close and I have been amazed by all of your generosity! Thank you so much for all of your support!
