"My Story For God's Glory"
"Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
Hello Family and Friends! I hope you are all having a wonderful Spring so far! This past month has been a little extra exciting because I had the opportunity to visit a dear friend of mine that I met last year when I did YWAM. As I reflect back on my trip; I had no idea how much I truly needed that time to get out of my usual routine, time to process things with God, be alone with Him in nature, spend time encouraging my friend, meeting new people, and allow Him to fill me as I rest in His presence. As I was gazing up at all these gigantic and majestic mountains in Colorado, I couldn't help but think: "Wow, God, you are so BIG and I am so small." It's so easy to get stuck in a bubble; but when God shows you something new, it makes you realize that there is so much more going on around the world that you knew nothing about. Seeing these huge mountains also put my problems and worries that I had had at home in their place. As I continue to get closer to my monthly goal the more eager I become to finally depart for Colombia! I am currently at 72%, which means I only need 28% more in monthly donations pledged!! HALLELUJAH!! I was reminded that even though I have absolutely no control over when my finances come in, I know the one who has CONTROL OVER THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE. The remaining $488.00 I need in monthly donations is so minuscule in the grand scheme of things. |

My prayer is that whatever problem or worry you may be facing, that this truth would speak to you: Because of Christ you already have VICTORY over whatever it is you may be facing! God's Word says it so perfectly in Matthew 6:26-30, "Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?"
This mountain in Colorado can only be a taste of what God's glory could possibly be like.
Specific Prayer Requests:
-My soon to be team member in Colombia, Raquel DeJesus, is back in Bogota'!! She has been on furlough this winter to visit family/friends and to share at churches about ACTION'S ministry in Colombia. Please pray for her as she reunites with the rest of my team and continues to share the Gospel in Bogota'! It's exciting that she will be back because that means that whenever my finances come in I will be living with her and she will be able to "take me under her wing" as I adjust to life in Bogota'.
-On March 31st there was a huge mudslide in Mocoa, Colombia--Leaving more than 250 dead and hundreds more are still missing. Please pray for the families and aftermath of this great tragedy.
-I have had many opportunities to talk about missions and share the Gospel with my coworkers as well as some of our clients. Prayer for more divine appointments and that I would be in tune with the Holy Spirit as I work.
-Pre-Praise for the remaining $488.00 that the Lord will bring in in His perfect timing!!!
-Prayer that I willl be patient and remain present while I am still in Minnesota
-This month I find out from a few churches how they feel led to support me. Prayer that they would hear clearly from the Lord and prayer of praise that they would like to partner with the Gospel being shared in Colombia!
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my newsletter and actively being an important role in my living out the call that God has for my life!
