I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations. For your steadfast love is great to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth!   --Psalm 57:9-11
I have to admit, I don't have a cool calling-story where the Lord spoke to me in an audible voice and told me exactly what country to go to. Boy, that would have made the last 10 years so much easier! Instead, I grew up with a burning desire and determination to give the Lord my entire life "to the hilt." For me, I had no doubt that that meant serving as a missionary overseas. Up until about three months ago, I wondered if, when, and where the Lord would send me. I never felt "called" to a particular group of people or a particular country, and so knowing when and where to start was always a challange. 

Over the last three years since finishing my undergrad, it's been so cool to see how the Lord has worked! I've had so many incredible opportunities to serve in ministry while being mentored and attending seminary. It is so awesome to see how the Lord has prepared me in more ways than I could have imagined in preparation for ministry opportunities that far exceed my own plans and dreams. :)

After many years of praying and waiting on the Lord to open a door for me to serve overseas, it's finally happening!! I'm moving to Peru to work with Pioneers! For some of you, this is old news. ;) For the rest of you, you're probably not surprised since I have a tendency to talk missions a lot whenever given an opportunity, lol. I'm hoping to be leaving for Peru the first of June, Lord willing. Between now and then, I'm finishing up another semester at Southern (this time on the Louisville campus), working, soaking up as much niece and family time as I can, and support raising. It looks like I'll be in the Chicago area two weekends and the Hartwell area for a couple weeks in May. So if you want to get together before I leave, just message me and we should try to get coffee whenever I'm in the area!

Two things: First, if you haven't already signed up for my monthly newsletters, please help me out and do that here! No matter how long we've been friends, I don't have your mailing address, which means I can't send you my first newsletter and prayer magnet... =( I know! As a Millennial, I've got to do a better job of keeping up with physical mailing addresses. I'm working on it. ;)

Secondly, if you are interested in supporting me, just click the "partner with me" tab above. I've been told that some people find it helpful to have an idea of how much I need to raise. So here it goes: I'm praying for 40 supporters who are willing to give $50 a month (or another way of looking at it would be 80 monthly supporters givine $25 a month). Whatever the Lord lays on your heart to give, is such an incredible blessing! I'm so excited to be able to work among the unreached in Peru, and in whatever way you support me, you are a huge part in making it possible for me to go and share! In that way, you are a part of the ministry that is going in Peru! Thank you so much for your support! However you support me (whether through financial support, encouragement, or prayer), you are a huge blessing!!

Stay tuned for more information on ministry in Peru! Did I mentioned, sign up for my newsletters? ;)
