Oh Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples...(1 Chronicles 16:8)
Well...It’s almost time! Two short weeks from now I will be getting on a plane to travel to Nairobi, Kenya to serve alongside the people of Kibera. I cannot wait to see what the Lord has in store as I work with the pre-school teachers and students, as well as the young girls involved in the soccer outreach ministry that I will get to be a part of. And I absolutely cannot do it alone! Your prayers and support mean the world both to me and the ministry God is graciously letting me be a part of.
On that note...this blog entry is a HUGE praise report ! Because of your generosity and desire to be a part of this story, I am so excited to announce that I was able to raise all of the money needed to serve in Kibera. Thank-you from the bottom of my heart! I promise that I will honour your financial contributions and prayers by serving “with all my heart, as working for the Lord”.(Colossians 3:22-24)
Many of you know, Africa is step one of a year of serving the Lord through missions across the world....and I am so excited to tell you all about what is next. So stay tuned...too much excitement in one blog post is not good for anyone :).
One thing has become so clear to me through this whole process. If we lean into HIM ...our God will not waste one experience that we have had in our life. Those moments when we were at our worst, our most broken seasons, can be used for His Glory...if we choose to say “yes” to his plan. It is ALWAYS better.
Thank-you for helping me say yes.
