Getting Started in 2009

The dates are set and I am in the beginning of raising the support needed. I will leave the States on Sunday, May 24 and not return until Saturday, July 11.

I have come to the point where I am relying on God more than ever. I am saying my prayers that my heart will be ready. That I will be ready. I have never been so far from family and friends for this long of a time. But yet, I am reminded that I am going to be with friends that I have come to love while in Germany. And I will be with a bigger family than I have here in the States, I will be with brothers and sisters in Christ!!!! What a great group of people to spend this time with.

I was able to spend 2 weeks last summer in Stuttgart, working with the International Baptist Church and I am excited to be able to return. I am ready to see what the Lord has in store this year. Last year just confirmed in me that this is where the Lord is leading me.

Please join me in prayer for this trip. Pray with me that God will provide funds necessary. Pray that through this trip that HE will be glorified. Pray for the details to be worked out, as of right now I am not 100% sure of what exactly I will be doing.

Thank you for your prayers and your support!!!!
