Hi
friends and family! Sorry it has been a bit since my last update. It has been a
crazy (and awesome!) two weeks since I left Michigan. January 2nd I
began the trek down to Georgia. I arrived there on January 3rd and
began work January 4th-just two days before our big event for the
season: Project Searchlight!
For
those of you who still aren’t quite sure what Kingdom Dreams (the department I’m
working with) or Project Searchlight is, here is a quick rundown! Project
Searchlight is the “next step” for world racers who return home from the field
and aren’t quite sure what is next. When alumni racers come down to Georgia for
Project Searchlight, they spend 6 days seeking God’s direction for their next
steps. Using 5 key areas of development (self-assessment, career options,
fit assessment, community, and adventure) they sort out their skills, traits,
desires and opportunities. It’s a time to figure out how to take the next steps
in making the dreams God has placed on their hearts realities.
We
had over 100 racers join us for this Searchlight. I attended the last
Searchlight this past September, and it was amazing to see the improvements
that had been made in just a few short months. After this week, I have never in
my life felt so confident that I am exactly where God wants me right now. The
fruit we saw from this week was truly awesome and praise worthy! During their
six days at Searchlight, there were participants who bought plane tickets to go
back to the nations, who committed to dedicate their next season of life to
places like Cambodia and Thailand, who have decided to join staff at AIM and so
much more! There were amazing times of worship, fellowship, and movement!
Thank
you to all of you who lifted up Project Searchlight in prayer, who have been
praying for and encouraging me during this time of transition, and who have
financially supported me to be down here serving this incredible ministry!
