Life, Ministry, and Preparations

So much is going on in my family, my current ministries, and preparations for joining EuroTeam.

My newest nephew was born at the end of March and is adorable (I think both my nephews are adorable). I helped with the final preparations to make his room ready for his arrival, and have even had the opportunity to watch him some to give my sister a little break.

We have had leadership changes taking place at 20/30 Something. Our spring retreat is also nearly here. I am excited about spending time both with my friends and with those who are new to our group. Next to come will be the planning of our summer season.

The community center where I have volunteered for the last few year has lost their lease of the old school building. I have also realized that with the additional work I have in gathering ministry partners it is probably better for me to step back from my time there and let others who will be here longer take over my shifts in the little resale shop.

I have started to see pledges coming in, but there is so much more I need to work on to raise all the prayer and financial support I will need to leave for Europe. I am scheduled to talk at a missions dessert on May 17th sponsored by the local missionaries with Wycliffe Bible Translators. Please be praying that I will be able to limit what I am sharing into the 30 minutes I have been given. I have already tried to contain myself to a 45 minute presentation for a school chapel and felt like I left out so much of what I wanted to say.
