Volume 15
Within the chaos God is there. God says in Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Isn’t that a Good reminder? We are officially leaving International Project at the end of the year. But we are continuing to serve God and do ministry however and wherever he may call us.
God has been teaching us this past year how to be at peace in the midst of the chaos of life. Our time in NYC has been meaningful yet we believe now is the time to move. Our lease is ending at the end of this year and I have been able to accomplish most of what I originally set out to do at International Project.
The plan is to drive back across the country to California on December 29th with a U-Haul trailer. Which should be especially fun considering I have never driven a trailer before. Once in California we will visit with some of our family and friends before heading up to YWAM Chico. YWAM stands for Youth With A Mission. Their motto is “To know God and to make Him known“ YWAM Chico trains people to be missionaries at their base in Chico as well as holding conferences for churches and other missions organizations. The plan is to go there for three months and help where ever we are needed! I will be helping with the marketing side of things helping to recruit more people into missions just like I have been doing at International Project.
We will be at YWAM Chico for 3 months while we continue asking God where we are to go. We are continuing to look for a pastoral position as God is pulling on my heart to minister to people directly. Yet in the meantime we will serve God anyway we can.
I will not be working at International Project next year, but I am planning on continuing to be available through January as new people are being trained. These past couple weeks I have been training a couple people in the office how to do the stuff I have been doing. As well as finishing up our end of year projects. Such as running Facebook ads, emails, etc for our end of year campaign. And building a new missionary media kit. That helps new missionaries build connection cards, follow our brand guidelines, and ensure peoples security through a more thorough understanding of International Project policies.
