People are wonderful gifts and reflections of God. My mom and dad continue to shower blessings, speak encouragement, and show me the love of God. Friends and acquai have been teaching me about what it means to have an advocate, as they share with others about my vision and ministry. Through them, I am learning more about what Christ means when He tells us He is our advocate, speaking on our behalf. God's provision is coming through so many generous people who share my vision for missions.
What's Next...
Black Forest Academy starts their new staff training on August 11th and school begins September 2nd, which doesn't give me much time. I currently have 70% of my monthly support pledged. My plane tickets can be purchased when I reach 90% (If you remember from last month TeachBeyond has a way of purchasing last-minute tickets at a discounted price so the cost is not an extra concern.) This means I need $700 per month pledged to get tickets and $1000 per month to be fully funded. This can be done! God is showing how He provide as He works in and through you and others.
Please Pray...
For the last 30% of my support to come in in the next few weeks
For continued focus and trust in God and His timing
For safety in travels
For housing arrangements as they are finalized this week
For a prepared heart of service as I begging teaching in September
