Hello Everyone and Happy New Year!!!!
I have some great news…my next step has now become clear…yeah!!!! In my last email, I mentioned that I was seeking other options to go to N. Africa since a team hasn’t formed to go with Iris. I have been in the application process with a new organization for the last month or so, and I am now accepted for a special assignment with them to N. Africa. It is a short term assignment (6-18 months), I will be joining one of their already existing teams serving in refugee camps in N. Africa.

I have been waiting for awhile, and I was still thinking it’s a ways off, but now it’s suddenly coming together…Thank God!!!
What’s coming ahead…
Training - I will be flying to Arizona on Jan. 11- 14 for their required training
Determining my base assignment - After the training, communication with the base leaders will begin and we will decide which base best fits us all. It is still uncertain when I will actually begin my assignment in Africa, but it seems possible within the next few months.
I see this next step as an incredible opportunity to serve, and to get to know them. There are many long term opportunities with them, and we will just see how God will continue to lead. It’s becoming ever clearer that, the journey is much more important than the destination, that He has purpose in it all.

He promises…
