Update on me! March 2010

newexcitingjourneyMy Life in a Nutshell, Tentatively:March: Finishing lecture phase of Discipleship Training School.

April 1-June 7: Leading a team of DTS students on an outreach to Haiti.

June-August: Work in Swan River and apply for Religious visa.

September: Off to LA to be the assistant school leader of another DTS!

My wonderful family came to visit me here in Los Angeles in February, I figured it is my turn to visit them! I will be back in Swan River mid June to apply for my Religious working visa. This will allow me to stay in the United States as well as go and and out without hassle at the border. I will be in Swan as long as it takes to process which will probably be the whole summer. I will spend some of this time working, as well as resting and support raising. I would LOVE to go out for a cup of TIM HORTONS with

you and share my heart as well as what God is doing! I can taste it already!! Mmm.. Thank you for all your prayers, see you soon!! :)

VISIT TO SWAN RIVER!!

As you already know I am currently staffing the DTS ( D i s c i p l e s h i p Tr a i n i n g School). It is crazy to believe that the three months lecture phase is just about over, time has flown!

The students in lecture phase are being split into three teams: North Africa, Haiti, and Thailand. I am privileged to be leading a team with another DTS staff member; Jesse Ruggles, to Haiti.

We leave Los Angeles April 1 and will return June 7. I am so stoked to go. We have been b l e s sed w i t h an incredible team.

We are unsure exactly what our schedule in Haiti will look like yet. Being flexible is key in ministry! :) Our goal is to go and serve the already existing ministr ies there. Tentat i ve ly we wi l l be working in orphanages , c on s t r u c t i o n , a s s i s t i n g m e d i c a l l y , s e t t i n g u p tempor ar y homes , and serving the YWAM base there.

We plan to sleep in tents so that we are mobile and available wherever most needed.

Please keep our team in our prayers!

Here I am Lord,

send me! YES! It is impossible to capture

God’s goodness in my relationship with Pablo right from the beginning. We met in Australia nearly 3 years ago. Right from the start God had His hand on things, by His grace we were able to develop a deep friendship without any hidden motives or agendas. I can’t over emphasize how Gods timing is so perfect. I would love to share the details of the countless stories of God’s hand in it all and how we came to be but I would have to write a book to include it all!

Now we are cultivating something new with the foundation that was previously created, growing individually in our relationship with God as well as together for we are both very intentional in this. It is the sweetest journey I have yet to get myself into. YAY GOD!.. Did I mention he is from New Zealand and has an incredible accent!!:)
