Hello friends and family,<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I am so excited for all that I get to share with you in this newsletter, but before I begin, I want to start by saying thank you! I am continually blown away by the love, support, and encouragement that each one of you bring to me every single day. I am so honored that the Lord has allowed our paths to connect and joined us in this journey to serve Him on the global mission field. You all are an integral part of me having the opportunity to serve Him as a missionary and I do not think I will ever be able to tell you how humbling that is and how grateful I am!! I love you all dearly and I pray that the Lord is growing His presence in your lives and returning back to you every blessing you are sowing!<\/p>\n

Updates from the Spring<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Spring, as it always is, was full of Great Commission Meals. I am so thankful that I was able to see so many of you at these events. I am always thankful for opportunities to share about what the Lord is doing around the world, and specifically what He has invited me to join in Wales!!<\/p>\n

One of the greatest blessings I had this time was getting to be with my grandmother, Gailya List, and bringing her to many of the Missions\u2019 Meals I attended. She is a veteran missionary, having served over 60 years on the field, and she just retired this past December. She is one of my greatest heroes, and I am beyond blessed and proud to be hers! I also had the honor of having my incredible mother with me for several of these meals while she was stateside, so I am feeling extra, extra blessed this season!<\/p>\n

I was also blessed to share in many churches from Western North Carolina, to the Coast of South Carolina, and all in between. I will never get over that the Lord has allowed me to do this. Not only to go and serve Him overseas, but also that I get to travel and connect with amazing church families and individuals from all over the IPHC. It is truly my honor!<\/p>\n

Upcoming Events<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I am excited to report that I am leaving in under a week to take what I am calling a \u201cscouting trip\u201d to Wales! After three years of being away, I am finally headed back to this amazing country. This is not my move yet, but I had a couple of weeks open in my schedule, so I decided it was time to get over there and make some plans for when I move. I am already scheduled to serve in several of our ministries within the area, and I cannot wait to be on the ground connecting with these ministries at last! I will be posting on my Facebook page, so if you are not a part of that and wish to be, please reach out to me, and I will add you to that group!!<\/p>\n

Praise Reports<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1. My biggest praise report right now would be that, as of last month, I am resting just over 80% in monthly support!!! We are so so close!! I cannot thank you enough for your willingness and faithfulness to sow into the call of God in my life! I am more grateful than I will ever be able to tell you!<\/p>\n

2. In the last several months, due to the generosity of many of you, I have been able to raise almost the full amount for my vehicle purchase when I get to Wales! This is such an incredible blessing because I will need to purchase a car once I move there, and having that money already set aside brings so much peace and excitement moving forward!!<\/p>\n

3. I have also just completed my master\u2019s degree in Human Services: Crisis and Trauma Counseling! I have been in this program for about a year and a half, and I am so grateful to have had this opportunity. I look forward to being able to use the tools I have learned in my ministry!!<\/p>\n

Prayer Points<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1. Please be praying with me as I go to Wales. I am believing that the Lord is going to use this time to not only reconnect me, but also to ordain meetings, as well as to stir up dreams for what is to come in Wales. I am so hopeful for this time and truly believe the Lord has some incredible things planned for my time there.<\/p>\n

2. As I mentioned before, I am resting just above 80% in monthly support, which means I still have a little less than 20% to raise! My prayer and what I am believing for is that I will be moving to Wales full time by the end of the summer! Please be praying with me for divine connections with churches and individuals to partner with me in this journey. I am confident that the Lord has ordained this season, and I am expectant for how He is going to move!<\/p>\n

Thank you all again so so much! I pray that the Lord is showing Himself faithful in your lives and in the lives of those around you!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blessings,\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a1Saludos!<\/span><\/h2>\r\nEstamos a mediados de 2019, y estoy muy agradecido de ser parte de lo que Dios est\u00e1 haciendo a trav\u00e9s de la Iglesia Vida en Jes\u00fas en la ciudad de Baguio y Asia con los Ministerios People to People. Disfruta leyendo estos testimonios.<\/span>\r\n

Signos de vida<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\"Se\u00f1ales de vida\" es el ministerio sordo a trav\u00e9s de la Iglesia Vida en Jes\u00fas que comenz\u00f3 hace varios a\u00f1os. Los domingos por la ma\u00f1ana, sus sillas est\u00e1n dispuestas en una secci\u00f3n espec\u00edfica de la iglesia. Como con cualquier ministerio, hay altibajos; la excitaci\u00f3n alcanza su punto m\u00e1ximo y se disipa y la asistencia disminuye. Este ha sido el caso con este ministerio durante los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os. Esa secci\u00f3n puede tener uno o dos sordos y, los domingos, los \u00fanicos son los int\u00e9rpretes.<\/span>\r\n\r\nLa parte sorprendente de este ministerio es que la iglesia siempre ha tenido miembros dispuestos a aprender el lenguaje de se\u00f1as, incluso si no ven\u00eda nadie. Despu\u00e9s de uno de los servicios dominicales, en la primera parte del a\u00f1o, sent\u00ed que el Se\u00f1or dec\u00eda \"re\u00fana a los int\u00e9rpretes y ore\". Les pregunt\u00e9 qu\u00e9 esperaban y por qu\u00e9 estaban all\u00ed. Cada uno comparti\u00f3 que cre\u00edan que Dios estaba haciendo y har\u00eda algo en la comunidad sorda. Nuestra oraci\u00f3n fue: \"Dios, si necesitas dejar morir este ministerio, si necesitas hacer algo totalmente diferente, no nos importa, pero reconocemos que este ministerio es tuyo. Entonces, depende de usted resucitarlo y darle vida \".<\/span>\r\n\r\nUnas semanas despu\u00e9s, una de las ex asistentes y su prometido se presentaron en nuestra oficina pidiendo asesoramiento prematrimonial. A trav\u00e9s de esa sesi\u00f3n, se restableci\u00f3 una relaci\u00f3n anterior que tuvimos con una escuela para sordos. En los \u00faltimos dos meses, 15 han aceptado a Jes\u00fas como su Salvador y son fieles a su estudio b\u00edblico a mitad de semana. Dios est\u00e1 dando vida nuevamente a este ministerio.<\/span>\r\n

Myanmar: marcando la diferencia<\/span><\/h3>\r\nDurante un viaje a Myanmar en mayo, TEAMS, uno de los ministerios de People to People, se uni\u00f3 a un grupo de estudiantes de Emmanuel College. Siempre es divertido ser parte del primer viaje misionero de alguien. Algunos est\u00e1n buscando t\u00edtulos m\u00e9dicos, por lo que ser parte de una extensi\u00f3n m\u00e9dica tuvo un impacto significativo en sus vidas. Nos encontramos con tantos pacientes que, al final de cada d\u00eda, sab\u00edamos que se satisfac\u00edan las necesidades personales y que la vida se ve\u00eda afectada por el amor mostrado.<\/span>\r\n\r\nLas iglesias albergan las cl\u00ednicas. Esta es una manera maravillosa no solo de alentarlos, sino tambi\u00e9n de impactar y fortalecer la comunidad a la que sirven. Por supuesto, estos eventos atraen multitudes y una gran cantidad de ni\u00f1os curiosos. Como los ni\u00f1os est\u00e1n de vacaciones de verano, se quedar\u00e1n todo el d\u00eda. Otros estudiantes de EC aprovecharon esta oportunidad para ministrar y jugar con ellos. S\u00e9 que estos ni\u00f1os tuvieron una experiencia que nunca olvidar\u00e1n, y rezamos para que las semillas sembradas en sus vidas florezcan e influyan en ellos a diario.<\/span>\r\n\r\nEn una esquina de la habitaci\u00f3n hab\u00eda una mesa muy popular, apodada \"La mesa feliz\". \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 esta mesa era tan diferente? Mientras revisaban una serie de preguntas y ofrec\u00edan una soluci\u00f3n a su problema, sus rostros brillaban. \u00bfQu\u00e9 era este portador de alegr\u00eda? \u00a1Un simple par de anteojos para leer sin receta!<\/span>\r\n\r\nMayo es un mes extremadamente caluroso en Myanmar y, en varios d\u00edas, las temperaturas rondaron los 105 grados. En habitaciones congestionadas, esperar\u00edamos fan\u00e1ticos pero, sin electricidad, pensamos que esto no podr\u00eda suceder. Ahora he descubierto mi uso favorito de la bater\u00eda de un autom\u00f3vil; atar un ventilador y obtener alivio. Con la cantidad de ventiladores configurados cada d\u00eda, estoy agradecido por las personas que conozco que nos prestaron sus ventiladores y bater\u00edas.<\/span>\r\n

Estar involucrado<\/span><\/h3>\r\nLos testimonios no solo nos animan, sino que tambi\u00e9n encienden el Esp\u00edritu de Dios en nosotros para que participemos. El privilegio de servir a los Ministerios People to People, los l\u00edderes de los pa\u00edses de Asia y ser enviado por usted es una experiencia muy humillante. Necesito su colaboraci\u00f3n en apoyo y oraci\u00f3n; a continuaci\u00f3n se muestra la informaci\u00f3n que necesita para hacerlo. \u00a1Sigamos dando testimonio de su bondad!<\/span>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
