Psalm 46:10
"Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
Hi Everyone! We have been super busy here in the PI with many new things happening. One of our team members headed back to America last week, and last month we welcomed another.

So, God's timing once again is so sweet. He is such a brilliant planner. He is teaching me about patience. I love that we can trust him and fully surrender our lives to him.. knowing his ways are best.
A few weeks ago we spent an afternoon visiting the girls home I mentioned... and it was a wonderful day. The building was lively and full of beautiful women, young girls, and babies. There they are taught how to re-enter into society, fully equipped with the necessary tools to thrive in their country. We were so blessed to meet them all and be there with them.
One girl in particular touched my heart so deeply. Her name is *Lily. She is fifteen years old, and lives with a small brain disiblity. Her father, brothers, and sisters sexually abused her repeatedly so she was brought to the home for healing. She is so full of joy! She acts about 9 years old because of the disibility. I was instantly drawn to her and heart. My eyes filled with tears as we took pictures and danced around the room meeting the other women. She was so sweet and attentive to us and the babies. I could picture taking her home with me. I could picture her living in the girls home that God is going to start. God was whispering.. these are the ones I will give you to love. These are the ones that are so special to me. It was a sweet, sweet day.
We are communicating more with people about the property with the Red Gate! As I mentioned in a previous blog, there is a property that a few of us (Myself, Claudia, Malica, and our friends here in the PI) have been praying for. The price is higher then we hope.. but I know God is in control, and he has been softening the owners hearts! They dropped the price a little, but we are waiting for them to drop it more while we pray for funds to come in. After we are able to buy a property for the girls home.. we will need to build the home as well! So all in all, I think the amount we are looking to raise is just over $100,000. With God all things are possible. He is teaching me how to be patient and trust his timing.
Another great update is- we are having a grand opening for our library!! Saturday May 26th is the big day. We will be offering new classes to the community, such as- Computers, Inductive Bible Study, English, Power of Prayer, Kids hour with Bible games and stories, Dance class with scripture memorization, and Seminary highlights. Our hope is that the library will be the hub of our community, bringing people from all over and drawing them here to meet Jesus. Please keep this in prayer as we will be starting strong, ready to see what God wants to do!
Lastly, a new ministry we are blessed with is at our friend Pastor Ray's church. We have been given the opportunity to teach the youth Drums, Guitar, and Vocal lessons. Once a week three of us travel to the church to do a devotion- involving how we worship Jesus through the talents and gifts he has given us. We are focusing on the attributes of God. Following the devotion we break into the 3 groups and teach for an hour. It has been such a wonderful time so far! I am so thankful God has opened up this door, and we have learned that there are many other pastors who want us to come teach their youth as well.
I feel so thankful to be here in the PI. There have been so many moments where I just am in disbelief of all the blessing's God is giving us. He is so rich in LOVE. All he has is ours!!
Luke 15:31
“‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.
I hope this brings a warm excitement to your heart. God is using all OF YOU to help this ministry. He hears your prayers! Thank you for sharing this adventure with me. I appreciate all of the sweet comments and encouragement you all give. God is such a wonderful father .. I love that we can all be apart of his body.. one family.. in Christ!
