Postponed

In case you havn't heard yet, my trip to Mozambique has been postponed. 

I was over 100% financially supported

" PRAISE THE LORD"

I had multi-many people praying for my ministry

"PRAISE THE LORD"

I had the green light from EvanjAfrica Ministries to file paperwork

"PRAISE THE LORD"

There seemed to be little internal conflict after the elections

"PRAISE THE LORD"

Yet....

PRAISE THE LORD 

for close friends and family who were willing to challenge me in 

my motives and spiritual health.

I was able to recognize that now would actually not be the best time for me to try and 

DO ministry

no matter how perfect the circumstances may have seemed.

For now I will continue to live in the area and work 

while seeking the Lord and some good counsel.

Please continue to pray for me in these next steps of maturing and growing in the Lord

Who is Worthy of ALL OUR PRAISE.

Welcome Mat

I'm WELCOME!

er.. I should say... 

I'm Officially Welcome

to Mozambique, that is.

Then again... I've been invited,

 not exactly a swinging open door.

I guess you could say I'm on the Welcome Mat, waiting for an open door.

Just got my official invitation letter to 

Evanjafrica Ministries

All notarized and everything!!

I have instructions to fill out le Visa app next month..

eesh.. one more exciting "figuring it out" adventure for sure.

Offical Confirmation

Just got the official word...

NOVEMBER 14, 2014

My departure date

Two Days after my Birthday

FEBRUARY 13, 2015

My return date

On Day before Valentines Day

Im pretty okay with that.

~ Pray for paperwork to go through smoothly~

Yield

Sad Day.

Today I learned that my departure date must be postponed.

Originally, 

the Director Victor was going down to prepare for my arrival the first week of October. Two weeks later I would follow behind and spend the next three months there.

NOW.. 

There is to be a Mozambiquen election Oct 15th. Becuase of possible delays that may occure with paperwork during this time, it has been decided that early November will be a better time for things to filter through.

Am I bummed about the delay? Yes... 

But I know that this time is crucial to the Lord's workings in my life and others. 

Gotta Roll with the punches, right?

~Please Pray for the Lord's preparation of my heart and the people I come in contact with~

Mile Stone

Driving.. 

 

Not that hard, right? 

After all I've been doing it for nine years now.

 

But Driving in MOZ?

 

That  my friends, may be a different issue entirely.

 .......

Driving is a huge part of how I will be ministering in Nampula. 

Among many daily trips I will be taking children to school, picking up folks from the airport, rushing to the hospital if need be, and of course trips downtown for daily needs.

 

Many of the roads I will be taking are nothing more that red dirt and gravel so of course there are going to be potholes and pitfalls, not to mention plenty of peds to miss.

These traffic "hazards" can easily change things.... 

What might take five minutes in the US could take twenty, just because of all those things that makes up "another day on the road" in Nampula.

 

• Will it be crazy and exciting to learn the ways of the road? YEP

• Will I get frustrated at the goat herd blocking my way when I'm running kids late for school? YEP

• Will I have to get over it? YEP

I must remember.. 

Roll with the punches, go with the flow, and chill out.. things happen.

 

All this to say... 

I got my International Driving Permit!!!! 

Super excited!!

It's another check off my list closer to being there.

 

~Please be praying for my safety and the safety of those with me in the driving to come~

The Beginning

It's new... and yet an old passion.

It's exciting.. and I'm scared to death.

It's just another day in the life of a Missions boy... and it's going to Change my life Forever.

Evanjafrica Ministries

Starting from a grassroots street evangelism group, the group has expanded into a fully functioning non-profit orphanage organization in Nampula, MOZAMBIQUE, AFRICA.. 

And THAT, my friends, is where I'm headed.

For three months I'll be participating in a part of the beauty that James calls true religion.

I will be interning with Evanjafrica Ministries and the kids they serve.

Praying, 

Building,

Driving,

Playing, 

Teaching, 

..and being taught.

This is what my heart burns to do; what I have always said I wanted to do.. for the rest of my life untill the Lord sees fit to move me again. Please pray for this new adventure as I take steps in His direction. 

If you would like to financially support me through this internship please contact me
