we're in single digits now--9 days till I leave for outreach. it's surreal.
I'm seriously eager with anticipation for what God has planned for me & my team in Israel. the enemy has definitely been tugging at our team, using disunity & discouragement to break us apart. but I see now that these hardships show just how much more glory is waiting for us in Israel.
last week, God showed His sovereignty through finances: our school needed over $100,000 in funds for outreach & it all came in within 5 hours. not one of the students in our DTS are being left behind. isn't He amazing? still astounded by His grace.
spending thanksgiving here was such an experience. away from the family & friends that I was familiar with, I found joy & peace in spending the holiday with new loved ones.
side note: I'll be celebrating Christmas in Israel !! how awesome is that?
anyway, the fact that it's my last full week here on this island startles me. these past ten weeks have been so fruitful, faith-stirring & fast. our fire&fragrance dts has gotten so close that we really feel like a big family. I already miss them.
prayer requests:
that God would continue to have favor on our team so that we could be used effectively in Israel.
that He would continue to pour out His blessings & mercies on me--I want more of Him.
that I would grow even more on outreach--that He would stretch & bend me further.
to trust Him more.
to spend my time wisely & efficiently.
to fall even more in love with Him.
I can't wait to be able to update this during my outreach phase. thank you for all your love, concern & encouragement. hope this day finds you well.
