Being a missionary does not make you anymore perfect than anyone else. You are not immediately transformed, when you move overseas, into a person with endless: love, patience, joy etc. I wish it did! But no, you're still the same person you were boarding the plane as you are getting off. You still have those quirks and habits you want to kick, you may even be terrified out of your mind... but following Him where he leads and having the support of friends, family and even strangers back home is what keeps you going on those really horrible days when nothing is working and you just want to quit.
Supporting someone means that you come along side them, that they can stand and know that they will not sink or fall. It means praying for them, encouraging them in countless ways, easing their financial burden, it's giving them peace, making them feel complete, ready to do the work that God has given them to do.
Prayer Requests as of July, 2016:
- The country of Haiti; more specifically for peace and stability during elections.
- Maranatha Children's Ministries - every child would be sponsored and God would continue to guide and provide for them as their program continues to grow.
- A deeper relationship in my walk with God.
- Wisdom as I seek God will for the future.
- Continued healing and wisdom as we deal with my health issues
