[ Waiting ...some more! ]

Patience is definitely something that I have never been well at. I am glad that the Lord is helping me work on this by having me wait a little bit longer on the next step in this journey. For me, it has been over a year when I began my search for a mission organization that will allow me to teach in Nairobi, Kenya. Not many, if any, mission organizations go to Nairobi to work in the slums for EDUCATION. Without a doubt I want to teach in Nairobi and I have 110 percent faith that the Lord knows how to get me there! :) When the time is right, He will open the door for me.

Currently, I have a full doors creaking open and am led to sit and be patient. I am awaiting to hear from a few places still. With the holidays it adds more waiting time. But again, I have faith that God knows what He is doing! After all, HE IS THE ONE WHO MADE ME!

Thank you for your continuing support and prayer. I hope to have some official news very soon. I always say that, but this time I am serious! It is time!

In Christ,

[ my heart ]

My heart beats to Africa.

Not a day goes by that I do not think of the children of Africa.

I pray everyday that a mission organization will accept me so that I can teacher in Nairobi, Kenya. I truly believe that God will lead me to the correct mission and to the correct school. My heart's desire is to share God's word and to teach children. And I know it is God's too!

Please be praying as I hope to find a mission so that I can began teaching in July of 2010 overseas! This is what Open Door Ministries is: my personal vision God has given me to teach in a school in Africa!

May God have all the glory!
