Friends,
 
This year so far have been one of transitions and getting comfortable in several pair of new shoes! So I want to fashion this update as a simple prayer request.  As I fill you in on life I wondered if you would take these things to Abba on my behalf as we seek God's purpose and perfect will for this season of life.
 
1.  I am now working as direct care staff with MRDD clients and that in itself is a full time ministry.  I love the woman that I work with and I long to be a godly influence of His love and endearing grace.
 
2.  I have been asked to work with a church that is preparing for a multi cultural church plant within the next year.  I've been seeking God for His wisdom and direction as I move excitedly yet cautiously with this precious body of believers.
 
3.  I will be co-leading a training time on cultural issues at Cedarville University and have other upcoming engagements in the near futures.  Would you pray that God would give more platforms to share what He has given to us and the wisdom to be a good steward of whatever He puts before us for His glory. 
 
4.  And lastly, this month I celebrated my 19 year anniversary in my love relationship with the Lord.  My desire is that my passion for Him would burn ever hot, be contagious and draw the lost like a moth to the light! 
 
Thank you for your financial support and prayers of the ministry the Lord has entrusted to me.  Without you I couldn't do half of what I do!
