As most of you know, I was initially going to be serving as an intern in Glasgow, Scotland. You might be wondering when and why this change of sites happened. When I began raising support for Scotland I had to have a lot of money in a very short amount of time. About three weeks ago, I was still not close to my goal and my deadline for having 80% of my funding was quickly approaching. I contacted my coach and asked to be moved to another internship in North America that did not require so much support. They gave me several options and this internship stood out to me. After much thought, prayer, and processing with friends and family I pursued it. I do not believe that God has shut the door on serving in the United Kingdom forever, but is rather telling me that now is not the time. I have learned however, what the process for raising support is and how better to go about it in the future.
I am very excited about my new ministry location and the different ways in which my team and I will be serving there. We will be working at Mission to the World's pre-field Cross Cultural Ministry Institute for full-time missionaries and their families. Here we will be running the childcare program and helping the kids prepare for cross cultural missions. We will also participate in a discipleship program together and work along side long term missionaries doing evangelism and community outreach in an ethnic church. This is going to be a jam packed four weeks and I believe that God is going to teach me a lot about myself, my calling, and His Kingdom through it. I still have some support to raise, about $75.
Please pray for me over the next several weeks as God prepares my heart to serve in New York.
