Things have been a whole new kind of hard and really GOOD too! Month 9. MONTH 9! And here I am. Just a few more months and I’ll be stepping onto North American soil again. Can I be honest with you? I’m freaking out a bit. It’s strange because I really do miss home! But for the past 9 months my heart has been broken apart and stitched back together in the Asian villages, the African rhythms, and Latin language. And out here has become my normal. Extreme changes after an average of 25 days is now comforting. Crying in the arms of my Squad has become healing. Jesus has been taking me through the hardest times of my life for the past 9 months and it’s all happened out here. So please be praying for the transition home! And a HUGE thank you to my prayer warriors, Gods been planning great visions and I’m excited to announce some fun things soon!
Last month, in Costa Rica, my team volunteered at a school for one week and fell in love with the energy for the students there! We also made sweet relationship with a local church and were able to connect with them throughout the month. Their sending off words were “when you come back to Costa Rica, know you will always have a home here.” That church is anointed and the Lords preparing them for a great work!
For the rest of the month our team was moved up to the mountains of San José. There we worked on our Host, Edgar’s, garden & greenhouse. It’s the beginning of a ministry to train people to grow their own foods to sell and provide for their own family’s . He just had a group from Honduras learning to make beds in the garden and grow tomatoes! (My favorite)
Edgar then opened up to us about how great it was to have teams doing VBS, and church services, labor, volunteering, etc. But when the teams leave, him and his wife are left to do the mundane and behind the scenes work. He then told us his daughter had twins(WOO HOO HES A GRANDPA!) just a week before and his wife went to help and support her of course. So Edgar was on his own, which happened to be the week he had to move houses! So we became his moving crew and cleaned out his house and moved to a new place. This is a part of their vision, to move into a small place to save up for a house on the garden! Ugh… guys he is a dreamer!!! We got to hear his heart and help him brain storm for a future Sonship school he desires to open this coming January. My oh my, we love Edgar so much! He knows the Fathers heart so well and he ended the month with encouragement and prophecy’s that we’re (extremely) spot on. Guys! God is good and doing amazing things through people all around the world. Edgar is amazing and it was so hard to leave him. He became a part of our team and it feels like we left a teammate in Costa Rica! Check out my Facebook for fun pictures and videos of our time with him!
Now our team is in Panama working with some more amazing hosts! I can’t wait to tell you about our ministry here. Gods bringing our team through a season of deep deep pruning and healing. It’s a beautiful. And hard. But God has been super kind and gentle with our fragile, emotional, vulnerable hearts. (Thanks God). So please be praying for us! Their names: (Hannah L. Hannah G. Farrah. Vicks, Lauren) my lovely people.
LOVE YOU ALL!
