Greetings Everyone,
I pray that as we enter the holiday season we really thank God for the blessings, struggles, hope and His grace. I thank God that I am in a good place. Last year this time I had five desires and prayers before God. Praise God four of the five big prayers in my life have been answered positively, the fifth one is not answered yet :(. But I will keep it before Him.
#1
I get to volunteer with the WCA/GLS Kenya office. I love the WCA Leadership Summit. When I moved to Kenya I really missed volunteering at Willow Creek Association's conferences. I have only served two days but I am so blessed to do anything that helps the Kenyan leaders be encouraged, challenged and given new insight by God. Pray for Nov 4th and 5th.
#2
I wanted to go to school for my Master's. This time last year I didn't know where but had a strong desire to open another avenue for future ministry. I had learned I had a growing heart to reached the really unreached of the world for Christ. I started Nairobi International School of Theology this past Sept. I have only attended two classes but I am excited to be in a learning environment. I am getting a Masters in Organizational Leadership. I would like to work in a restricted area in an NGO. Pray that I am able to dedicate the time to do well. During these two years that God will show me where to invest the next half of my life.
#3
Minsitry outreach. I have been learning about the Islamic world. I wanted to be in an environment where I could interact with those who have not interacted with Christ followers. I am tutoring fully veiled women, young and older men in English at a local Community Center. I am meeting wonderful young people and will be helping with a teenage group on life skills. I am planning to use my NUrsing skills next year. Pray that I have opportunities to show others CHRIST the true Messiah and invite them to join His Kingdom.
#4
I have traveled around East Africa for the last two and half years. I have enjoyed it, but I REALLY missed having a church home. Most Sunday I was preaching-love that too. But had not found a church home for spiritual connection. PRAISE GOD!!! I have joined Nairobi Chapel. I am a part of the prayer ministry. Extra bonus I have a great apartment in the city.
Still praying for direction in choosing a ministry to work with and under while on the field. I am interviewing with a minsitry this Dec. PRAY FOR WISDOM!!!
Still praying for friendships here. I am having a small gathering at my home to build friendships with others here. PRAY for discernment. Most single women my age are missionaries, but also trying to find national friendships.
P.S. I am learning Swahili --Ninajifunza Swahili.
Yesu Kristo anapenda watu Wote-- Jesus Christ loves all people.
Have a good day and Live for Christ Jesus with your heart, BODY and soul.
