A Lofty Goal

I finished working at Providence last weekend and am changing my focus to full-time partnership development and training. I am so excited to be getting closer to leaving for Indonesia! So here is an idea of what the next few months will hold and a lofty goal for you.

For several reasons my goal is to leave for Indonesia this summer. For example, it works best with the language school schedule, which will be my first priority upon arriving in Indonesia.  I have been spending a lot of time in the last several days praying and contemplating about this goal of leaving for Indonesia this summer and I keep coming back to this verse:

Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Hebrews 4:16

I am asking that you pray with me and for my ministry. That you pray boldly and confidently. I know God has great things planned and I can't wait to share with you what He is doing.

To reach this goal in the next three months, I need to raise the rest of my needed monthly support and outgoing expenses. I currently have commitments for 49% of the $3,500 I need for my monthly support. Thank you so much to those who have already made commitments and are giving faithfully! That means I need commitments for just $1,785/month. To break that down even further that is:

18 people to give $100/month

or 

36 people to give $50/month

or even 

51 people to give $35/month

I need your help to connect with those interested in helping save the lives of the people of Indonesia through medical care and/or with those passionate about helping spreading the gospel to the unreached of Indonesia. Would you be willing to host a small group (maybe from your church or work) at your house that would be willing to meet with me to hear my story and about my ministry? This could be over dinner or dessert or whatever time/date works best for you and your group. I will be spending the next 4-6 weeks in the Everett area and then moving back to live with my parents in Hood River, Oregon.

While at times this feels like a lofty goal, especially considering how long it has taken me to get this far but I know this is something God can do. I have confidence that He has a plan and the timing all worked out so I am setting this lofty goal in anticipation of seeing God do some amazing things. 

If you have any questions or want more information you can check out the links at the top of the blog with information on "Partnership" and "Frequently Asked Questions" or you can send me an email. 

Please also be praying as I leave this Sunday for a week in Florida to attend a Health, Agriculture, Culture and Community Workshop.
