I can’t believe it is already time for me to come home. We [the team] fly out of Nairobi for Atlanta in two days. I will be down in the Atlanta area until Friday for some final leader wrap-up. I know I have been poor in communicating these last few weeks, and I apologize for that. There has been so much going on here and with future plans, as well as the fact that the internet is poor, making it difficult to find time or energy to get information out to you. Again, I am sorry for not being more intentional in that.
So here goes…I will be back in the Pennsylvania/New Jersey area from April 24th through mid June. From there I will fly back down to Atlanta to prepare to lead another team.This time around it is an all-girl, Ambassador (high-school) team to Ireland for four weeks. We will have a few days of training in Gainesville, GA before flying out to Dublin. I am still not completely sure what that ministry will look like, but I never seem to know that until I’m actually out on the field, anyway.
On July 19th, the team will fly back to the states, but I will not go with them. I will be flying down to South Africa. Nick’s world race squad will be somewhere in southern Africa at the time, so I am hoping to meet up with them for a few days. For those of you that do not remember, Nick is the boyfriend. Yes, that is still going strong, *big smile* From there, I then go on to Swaziland, where I will be until mid-November. As usual, everything is tentative–except for Ireland.
Please pray for me! I have a lot going on, and just getting everything in place can be overwhelming at times. God is so good, though, and I know He will arrange it as He sees fit. Pray for my finances. I am coming home essentially broke, but don’t really know if it is wise or if I even have time to work in the seven/eight weeks I’m home. In addition, I am not where I was hoping to be in my support raising for Swaziland. I still need several thousand more.
Pray for rest for my body and mind. I know I have been drained, and need some replenishment and relaxation before heading out again. Pray for God to be preparing the hearts of my new team, my co-leader, and myself to be ready for what He has in store for us in Dublin.
