Habitat for Missionaries

There is an exciting opportunity on the horizon which will help me and my support raising endeavors. I have been selected as a missionary candidate to work with an organization called Habitat for Missionaries. Habitat for Missionaries partners with local churches to rehab, and sell houses. When the house is complete (and sells) the missionary, in this case me, receives 100% of the profit. This project could potentially put me over the top and complete my support raising!! :-D

It is definitely a big project, but I am so thankful that God has provided this opportunity. Tomorrow I will be doing a walk through of the house and will have a better idea of what exactly needs to be done. We are hoping to flip the house in 52 days and put it on the market early June. 

This project is a great way to be involved with my mission and use your skills to serve the Lord hands on. If anyone is interested in volunteering your time and skills to work on this house, if you or anyone you know is interested in starter home, or if you have any other questions, please email me. Or for those of you who attend EHWC, there will be a chance for you to sign up after each service.  I will also be posting updates here on my blog throughout the project. 

My final request is that you pray along side of me as we ask Jesus to take leadership of this project. I truly believe that if it's bathed in prayer it will be a success.

Global Missions Festival

This weekend my church had its annual Global Missions Festival. I have attended the festivities for, gosh I don't even know how many years, but this year I got to participate in the weekend. It was awesome! I got to meet some more "real live" missionaries and pick up some pointers from them as most of them have been in the field for many years. God really used this weekend to reassure me that with every step I take He is right there with me. And with every step I take I am also reassured that this is exactly where I am supposed to be, and this is exactly what I'm supposed to be doing.

We used this weekend to officially kick off my support raising and team building endeavors. I am just so blown away by how supportive my church, as a whole, and as individual members are of me and my calling. God has truly blessed me with a wonderful church family. This is just the beginning and I know I will continue to be overwhelmed and blown away throughout this whole journey by peoples generosity.
