Looking Ahead

I hope you've found great joy in Christ during this holiday season. I've enjoyed time with family and friends, celebrating all we've been blessed with in Christ and in one another. My time back home is moving as fast as my year in Africa did. I've found it difficult to process and challenging to keep up, but I've been blessed with a great deal of help. It's been a blessing to have a loving community surround me in this time of transition. To be completely honest, I've struggled to process my time in Africa, and transition smoothly into life back in the States. This, unfortunately has contributed to my lack of communication since arriving back in the States. I want to take this time to apologize for my lack of communication, as well as thank you for your continued patience as I process and celebrate the Lord's good work in my time abroad. I've had the privilege of participating in what Christ is doing in South Africa, and I now get to celebrate these great experiences with each of you. Now that I am somewhat settled back in to this life Stateside, I would love to meet up with you or have a phone conversation sometime soon.

For now, there are a few important details of my life that I would like to inform you of. I would like to share that after much prayer and consideration I've decided to not continue on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ. I thoroughly enjoyed my intern year with CCC International, and would, without a doubt, serve with the organization in the future. I do however, feel called to pursue other ministry opportunities at this time. In working with Ukukhanya this year, I discovered that I have a deep passion for creating opportunities for Christian and Non-Christians to love and serve those in need, and meet Christ in the process. Learning these things about myself have led me to pursue ministry opportunities here in Denver, that would enable me to labor for the kingdom in this fashion. I can say with great confidence that the Lord has called me to love Him and serve His Kingdom here in Denver. As far as I am concerned, the Lord's call was clear for me to go to South Africa, and His call to come to Denver this year is as clear. Please pray for wisdom and discernment as I follow Christ in this time. Currently, I'm actively pursuing ministry opportunities that would require me to once again, raise my financial support. I promise to keep all of you informed and include you in my the decisions for what's next. I'm looking ahead with great anticipation and excitement for what Christ will have me do for the Kingdom!
