Update

Lots of friends and family have asked me for an update on my support raising process. So…..here it is. As many of you know, the time for possible departure to Cusco, Peru is coming very quickly. I am excited for the possibility of leaving for the field in February. Tentatively I will be going to pre-field training in mid-January. The training is a month long and will be held in Brussels, Belgium. After completing the training I will be heading off to language school in Arequipa, Peru. I will be in school for 4-6 months, depending on how long it takes me to learn Spanish. So…..I should actually get to Cusco in the summer of 2010.


I’m looking forward to what is ahead and eager to leave for the field. At this point, I’m in the process of finishing up support raising. God has already done amazing things, giving me so many prayer partners. He has provided 63% of my monthly needs and 67% of my one time need. God is moving things right along. Praise Him!! I still have $1100/month and $6000 for one time needs to go. In order for me to go to the month long training required to get to the field, I need to have 100% of my support in by the first week in December. Otherwise, I will have to wait till July of 2010 to go to the next training session. Please pray that all the support comes in by December.


God has opened a door for me to go to Cusco for a week at the end of this month with a medical team from Mississippi (yay for the Deep South!!) to work alongside the MTW team in Cusco. I’m looking forward to scoping things out and meeting the people who will become my friends and family for the next two years.
After I return home I will be having a support-raising event (November 8th from 6-8 at DaySpring Presbyterian Church). There will be dinner and I will be sharing about the ministry in Cusco and how I’ll be involved. All are welcome!!
