Slow……and…….steady……..on…….we…………go!

Yep that is how we win the race. As a great friend of mine said like a constant drip slow and steady… wears away even the hardest stone.

I was given the Word from above. I have filled out an application for Taiwan. It is through OMF International . Here are two of the trips that I am interested in. The top one is the one that I am praying the hardest for :)

Serve Taiwan Wanhua International Team

Along with a group of local believers, OMF is currently building up a team in Wanhua (萬華區) to reach the families who live in this poorer working class neighborhood. OMF has planted a church called 'The Spring' which reaches out to the street people in Wanhua. You will be joining a the OMF team to build relationships with at-risk youth and their parents and share stories about your experiences with the God of love and how Jesus has changed your life. You will lead activities for 60 students at an elementary school and teach basic English conversation classes in near by low income housing estate. When not teaching, you will have time to hang-out with these kids and teenagers by playing sports and other activities.

Go and see how God is opening up doors to minister to North Koreans. The purpose of each trip is two-fold. One is to provide English to Korean-Chinese students. Two is to pray through the area and to explore current opportunities in China.

Serve China NE China Vision Trip (6 weeks)

Each team's work will help in establishing relationships for work in China as well as North Korea. This trip will encourage participants to consider long-term involvement in serving, supporting, and praying for the work in North East China and North Korea. Your ministry will provide in continuing the ongoing relationship with local workers and/or organizations.

You will be teaching classes in NE China to Korean-Chinese students with differing levels of competency in English. By building relationships with the students, you will be able to see the Northeast Chinese culture up close. You will also be able to visit different ministries in China.

• Teaching English or computers.
  
• Prayer walks around the city bordering North Korea.
  
• Visiting other ministries
  
• Student Ministry: We will work with the students in two key cities bordering North Korea.
  
• Cultural visits: visit some of the local markets and sites.
  
• Encouraging long-term workers: praying for them and helping them in their work if possible.
  

Keeping on keepn’ on !!!

 

Well I am still praying and pushing forward with my prayers to go to Africa! It has been so hard waiting. Waiting for God to say yes… this is the right one! I have a couple more leads. I received an email from a gentleman named Steve Bissell who is in Nigeria with IZERE PROJECT. We have exchanged several emails and this look like it could become a really good thing. It is such an awesome way for people to hear the Word in their native heart language. I am also still looking at Launch Out ministries as well.

James turned 12 on Friday!!!! Oh my goodness it is just hard to believe he is getting that old! It seems like it was just yesterday that he was learning how to walk and talk! Well it is late so I will sign off and talk more later J
