8/30/10

We haven’t done a whole lot of ministry stuff this last week, mainly because we haven’t had a chance to pray about what ministries to put on hold. But this week, we are fasting and praying together every morning about that, praying for the property up in the mountains we are pursuing, praying for the property we need to rent in the city where the city staff will stay and where we will receive teams. We will also be praying for the rest of the staff that we haven’t got to yet. We also have two containers we are trying to get out of customs. They said they want to charge $4,000 for each of them. This is a ridiculous amount!!! Please pray with us on these things!
I haven’t said anything about it to this point, and I’ve known for a while, but God has called me to come back to work with YWAM Port au Prince. I’m still going back to Kansas on September 14, but I’m coming back November 1-2. I will be doing some support raising, spending time with friends and family, and speaking at churches in the six weeks that I’m home. If you are interested in being a monthly supporter, a one-time giver, or having me speak with you or at your church, please let me know! I am really excited about getting to come home and see people, go to Esther’s wedding, speak at my Aunt Mary’s church. I’m excited to see what God is going to do at this time in my life!
We want to run a Discipleship Training School(DTS) in June 2011. We would like to be able to move to the ranch we want to buy in the mountains before that so that we can prepare for it. The ranch is going to cost about $5.2 million, which for some reason feels like a small amount to most of us on staff. And for God, it isn’t a big deal! June 2011 will be here before we know it!!! We are currently looking for a way to provide scholarships for Haitians to attend the DTS.
Please continue to pray for unity among staff and more long-term staff to come here.
