It Could Be Anything

          Intentional community is hard. My team has gone to a new, deeper, sweeter level as a community this month. God, Jesus AND the Holy Spirit have all been present amongst our team and during our feedback sessions! We continue to learn how to challenge and encourage each other to be more of the person God has called us to be. It is sweet and I’m excited to continue to go deeper with my Koinonia family! We are called to do life with people! It’s beautiful!

          Another incredible part of Casa Shalom this month has been Alex, Maria, Miha, Nico, David, and Esther. These are names of children that were taken in by Becky, the owner of Casa Shalom, as babies or young children! They are feisty, joyful, and super fun! We have been able to get to know them and love of them and I have fallen in love with them! They like to put on tough exteriors but I’m confident God is moving in their hearts and He has amazing plans for their lives!

          We said goodbye to the Jubilee girls last Friday. It was hard. I know there will be many goodbyes over this next year but goodbyes are never easy. God loves those women SO much! It’s SO evident! Recently, a family from America just got called back to Romania by God to be house parents at Jubilee. Last month a WR team was working with the women, this past month our teams have been there, and the day we said goodbye an Irish team arrived to work with the girls and do construction on the property! God has NOT forgotten these women and He has incredible plans for their lives! To learn more about this incredible ministry check out: Jubilee Romania Currently, Jubilee is extremely underfunded! Pray and ask the Lord what you should give! I could carry on about giving but I’m confident that God is providing for these women and this ministry!

Tomorrow our squad flies to Dublin, Ireland! Right after landing, Koinonia and Team Umoja will travel straight to the west coast of Ireland! We will be serving in Galway, Ireland for the month!  God has already been preparing our hearts for Ireland, as a massive group of Irish people showed up at Casa Shalom last Friday. We’ve been talking with and worshiping with them and we are getting excited for the land of the Irish. Also, we are watching Once as I type this! Pray for us as we say goodbye in Romania and as we arrive in Ireland!

Thanks SO much to each of you who are keeping up with my blog and for all the blog comments! Words of affirmation encourage my heart like no other! Talk to you from Ireland! Be blessed!

ALSO! A couple of my teammates are still a ways away from being fully supported for the World Race! I’m confident that God will provide for them and I’m excited to watch the miraculous ways in which He will! Please prayerfully consider supporting Stephanie Webster and Carrie Campbell They are part of our body! We want to keep them here!
