So..my immediate future has changed drastically in the last 24 hours. Yesterday I recieved a phone call from the Real Life coordinator here at AIM-and was asked to co-lead a two month long trip to Mozambique starting on May 30!! (yes that is 24 days from now). This trip is with AIM’s Real Life program, which is a one-three month discipleship and ministry training program for 18-22 year olds. I would be co-leading with another AIM staff and bascially discipling and walking alongside the students during this missions experience, concentrating specifically on the girls of my team. With the blessing of my supervisors here at the World Race I accepted the position! I really believe God has opened this door to get some real, hands on experience with AIM and to give me a stronger foundation in my ministry here. Plus, I absolutely fell in love with Mozambique when I went there 1 1/2 years ago, and I have been aching to go back ever since. And the best part–I have no expenses for this trip-my flight and living expenses are 100% covered (except for personal needs, of course). I am praising God for His faithfulness and provision right now!!
So…I have a busy next few weeks ahead of me. Please keep me in your prayers as I embark on this new adventure. Pray for my Real Life team-that we will be unified and that God will equip me to lead, serve, and love well.
I am going to be writing more about this later, but I just wanted to get the word out! Thank you all so much for your support and prayer.
Holy Cow! What great, exciting news! I am very happy for you and this new adventure. What a testament to your family as well!
This is amazing! I will be praying for you!
Oh my gosh! That is absolutely amazing! I will definitely keep you in my prayers! 😀
That’s incredible! Has it really been 2 1/2 years since you were doing the Iris Ministry thing? Where does the time go really??? I am so excited for you Jess. You LOVE African nations…you love the people…this is so God, and I’m like so happy to be able to share in hearing His story for you! Hopefully I can visit before you leave…
