We're Halfway There!

"We're half way there Woah-oh Livin' on a prayer!" - Bon Jovi

RECAP I had the privilege this month of getting to share my heart with a handful of churches at Missions Explosion and getting to know my fellow missionaries in the Michigan District. It refreshed my spirit so much to be around people with the same heart, but different visions for living out the Great Commission. Afterwards, I took some time to go exploring the U.P. which was also good for my soul, to witness the beauty of my Creator and being thankful to those who are good stewards of the land.

I also got to share this past Sunday at the beautiful Harbor Church in Tawas. Shout out to Pastor Scott and Katie for having me! I loved getting to meet your congregants and seeing the positive changes you've made there. COMING UP

I am still working full time and itinerating. Even though it hasn't been easy, the hard work is paying off. I am currently at 53% in monthly support (woooo!) What this means is there are people who commit every month give an amount to go towards my account so I will be able to be supported while working on the mission field as the Lord enables them. Now I want you to know, these people are not the uber wealthy like Bill Gates or Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos. They're not giving because they just have money lying around. They are intentionally and sacrificially giving to see "your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven". It is God's heart to see people repent and to turn to him. (2 Chronicles 7:14) But how will they know unless someone goes? How will they know unless someone tells them? How will I tell them unless they are sent? (Romans 10:14-15) That's why I go. I go so people can know there is a God who sees them, knows them, loves them, and has a purpose for their life.

As I continue walk in obedience to this calling, would you continue to pray for me? For Heidelberg? For the Lord to send more workers? (Matthew 9:38)

HOW YOU CAN HELP My new goal is to get to 100% by spring so I can get to Germany. With all the turmoil going on in Europe with the war in Ukraine and the war in Israel, I'm chomping at the bit to get to that part of the world and be active in ministering there. As a follower of Jesus, we all bear the joy and the responsibility of sharing the gospel and sending others to do that work. Go here if you would like to be a part of sending me to the mission field.

• Pray for me as I prepare to leave this season and enter into a new one. I pray I would go with an open heart and a firm foundation.

• Pray that my list of monthly supporters would grow so I can get to 100% and get to the field. That others would get to share in the joy of serving the Lord to see his Kingdom grow here on earth.

Maranatha.
