I am going to New Zealand! After years of knowing that I have been called to minister to the people of New Zealand God has finally opened the door through Adventures in Missions. Everyday I still find myself giving a little rejoicing dance as I face the reality that my biggest dream in life is coming true
this year! How amazing it is to know that I am exactly where God wants me to be, and have the peace and joy of God overflow within my Spirit as I walk in obedience by fulfilling His calling on my life.
 

It has been a slow start so far in beginning to raise support for my trip. As I am a full-time student at Lee University, chaplain of Invasion ( Lee Universities dance, step, stomp, and drama ministry), and a waitress at little country restaurant, I have found it hard to balance it all. However, this has not stopped God from being God! Just today I waited on a familiar customer who began to question me about what I would be doing after graduation. By the end of the conversation she had pulled out her check book and began to tell me how she wanted to help support me in this ministry. Talk about an answer to prayer! I did not even have to ask for this one…He is truly is our provider (Phil. 4:19). In addition to this praise report of God's provision I have had many missionaries, family members, and friends request support letters longing to help further God's plans. Praise Jehovah!

I know that it is just the beginning, but God has already placed such a burden to see the people of New Zealand impacted in this missionary trip, and has began to direct me in my prayers for them. What a blessing that He chose
me to do His work! It may get harder, but I know at the same time through prayer it will only become more exciting and rewarding as His vision continually increases within my heart (Proverbs 29:18).
