WE ARE OVER HALF WAY THROUGH THE WR!! (But really how crazy is that, time is flying by)
So here are some updates from the first half of the race
I struggled with posting this because I wanted to make sure my heart was in the right place with this, but I also wanted to let you know how your help has made a difference in the world. I wanted to make sure I wasn’t boasting about what I was doing and being prideful, but instead boasting about what the Lord is doing. Yes, I am here and doing things but I am a vessel used by God to do His work.
So – here are some of the amazing things that have grown the kingdom because of your love, prayers, and support:
Dominican Republic:
- Assisted our hosts in preparations for furthering their ministry: helped clean the property for upcoming plans to build refuge housing for women and children; worked on websites for their ministry ( a few of these included revamping their old websites, and a few included building websites from scratch – one of these included a website of courses to further train their local pastors!)
- Helped with building the foundations of a home
- Worked with a school to paint a mural and teach English part of the time we were there
- ministered to locals
Haiti:
- School preparation for our host academy; both assignments and building preparations (God bless teachers for all of the work they do!)
- Assistance with the first couple days of school
- Loved on the kiddos in the ministry orphanage we stayed with (THIS WAS SO LIFE GIVING! Wow I really miss my kiddos)
South Africa:
- Worked in a handful of squatter camp communities getting to know and evangelizing to people, helping with kids programs in squatter camps, working at the ministries schools every Friday
Botswana:
- Helped ministry host promote and host movie nights for the communities at ministry cafe
- Two team members worked in the cafe, which sells bibles and Christian literature for cheaper than other stores so they’re more affordable (ps, bibles in native languages are really expensive!)
- Evangelized to our local village
- Ministered to our host after the recent loss of his wife
Zambia:
- Built relationships with families in the neighborhood ( the ministry just moved there to be more a part of this community so we helped them to get ppl to know they are there)
- Evangelized
India:
- Preached every day sometimes twice a day to different village churches
- Prayed A LOT
This is just a short list but here it is!
Thank you for all of your support in these previous months. I can’t wait to see what God does in the next half of the race!
