September

This month has been really busy but a lot of fun as well. I am working for a non-medical home companionship agency since august and it has been really rewarding. I needed a job to get through the next few months, and it is definitely keeping me from boredom. In my not-so-spare time I hang out with family and friends and spent time with the high school students at Calvary Chapel SB. Here are the highlights of these last couple months.

PNG Situation

So here is where I am at. I am not 100% sure that I am going, and I would appreciate your prayers. I am in the process of applying as an Associate Missionary through New Tribes Missions. The plan is to go over to PNG for a year. So in the next three months I need to:
Get my visas
~ raise support
~ figure out what I need to bring
~ find a roommate for Nicole =)
~ and figure out how to leave life in Santa Barbara...

My Life

I thought that it would be good to let you all in on what God has placed upon my heart. In the past year God has begun a work in me that He started when I was young. In fact, the name of the blog comes from my grandparent's experience on the field. Through that heritage and many others I have developed a passion for seeing the Kingdom of God grow all over the world. For the last 8 years I have felt the Spirit’s leading in missions, but for the first 5 of them it was in a more short-term missions role. I have had the opportunity to see missionaries on the field in multiple countries and my passion for seeing God glorified in this work has grown immensely. Currently, I have felt the Spirit leading me away from where I have been, and leading me into where he wants me overseas. I have been searching out the Lord’s guidance and step by step He has opened a door in Papua New Guinea!
