Hello all of my beautiful friends and family.
I figured I would write this now since August is coming fast and I will probably not have time to write one until the end of August.
First and more most thank you all so much for how much you have believed in me, prayed for me and supported me as a take a step into my life as a missionary. I truly do believe this is the life God is calling me into. Thank you for trusting that I do hear Gods voice even when I have no clue what He is doing.
So as pure usual my plans have changed. As they tend to do when Holy Spirit is in charge. I am no longer leading the outreach team after this Harvest School to Peru. I will be leading a much bigger team into the bush bush of Mozambique for 10 days. This decision was one of the hardest ones I have had to make this year, but I feel complete peace in my spirit about it.
My team and I will be going to 3 different districts in Mocimboa De Paria, one of which is a completely un-reached village! One that Iris Ministries has never been to before! I would absolutely love to be cover in prayer for these 10 days. We leave on August 9th and will be back on the 18th. If you feel lead to cover me in prayer for these days please let me know!
An update on the Holland Mission Possible Conference in October. I initially wasn't sure if I was supposed to go to this conference. I had thought it sounded like an amazing opportunity and was right up my ally as far as the heart of it, but I decided to give it to God and if He wanted me to go He would have to take care of it, I wasn't going to stress over it.
The very next day after I told God I would go if He took care of it. A close friend sent me more than I needed to register (and registration is not cheap)! That was a complete and total blessing! Then just a few hours after that I had another friend offer to buy all of my air fair for the journey from Africa (which is where I will be staffing Harvest School 19) to Holland and back to Africa! That blew my mind! Within 24 hours I had the whole trip completely paid for! GOD IS SO GOOD! My first official time in Europe!
Now here at Harvest School we are down to our last 2 weeks! Which is completely mental when you think about how fast 3 months has gone by!
Students are getting completely wrecked by God as well as us staff.
One day as I walk into class I was told I would be sharing my testimony and I would be doing it in 10 mins..... Naturally I was a little freaked, but I just began to pray and ask God what He wanted me to say. I asked him what the theme of my testimony was and I felt him say "My faithfulness." So I ran with that. I opened my Bible right to Romans 2:11 which says "there is no partiality with God." And right there was what I was gonna share on. Once I got up their my heart exploded and God filled my mouth. I was not even sure all that was said, but God used every bit and afterwards I had many people coming up and asking me to pray with them and people telling me that what I shared was really impactful for them. That was so encouraging.
Here In Pemba the GTM (Global team meeting) is starting to today! Which basically means all of the leaders of Iris and partners with Iris from all around the world are all gathering here in one place for a meeting to talk about all that God is doing and dreams He has promised them. Which is an incredible honor to be in the same place as people who are literally changing the world.
My girls in my room and I have become so close and I am really sad I have to see them leave! They have blessed me so much and I have learned so much from them. We have all become so close and I can not wait to see and hear how God uses them in their lives and their families.
I feel like my life is getting ready to take off. Over the past year I have gotten so many words about country hopping Nd God sending em here then there... So far they have proven to be real. Also David Wagner was here 2 weeks ago and he prophesied over me that God was given me four hot spots in the spirit, but one Home. Which of course I feel is Tn and the hotspots could be a number of places and I can not wait to discover them! Bring it Lord.
There is so much more I would like to share about what God is doing, but I feel it is not the time or season to release anymore information about what is next.
I love and miss you all so much!
I would love to hear from any of you that is willing to share with me about your lives and I always love getting feed back.
