God's Provision and Next Steps


“The heart of man plans his way, 
but the Lord establishes his steps.”
~Proverbs 16:9
These past few months God has been showing me the truth of this verse in my life. My heart had planned out my way, but God has established my steps in His perfect timing.
God has poured down His provision for the OM Lifehope ministry I’ll be a part of in England. I am currently sitting at 98% of needed funds with only $35/month still needed to be raised! All praise be to God!
I have now been given approval by OM to purchase my plane tickets, and I’ll be flying out of Denver Sunday, January 13, 2013 and arriving in Frankfurt, Germany the following day. The GO conference I’ll be attending starts January 15th so I will have an extra day to rest, relax, and acclimate to the 8-hour time difference.
I’ll be in Mosbach, Germany (about 2 hours from Frankfurt) for 10 days of training and ministry orientation at the GO conference. Then on January 26th I’ll be headed off to my new home for the next 2 years in Halesowen, England.
Once in England I’ll have more in-depth training and orientation specific to the ministry of OM Lifehope.  I found a great 7 minute video that gives a description of what the first 3 weeks in England will look like for me and a basic explanation of some of the ministries within OM Lifehope: http://lifehope.om.org/index.php/community-outreach-video. They don’t go into detail about the youth track which I’ll be a part of, but as part of OM Lifehope I will also be involved in many of the other ministries they do mention in the video.
God has been so faithful to me throughout this process thus far and continues to reaffirm the call I have felt Him place on my life. He has provided a means for me to go, has done work within my heart and life in preparation for the ministry I’ll be joining in England, and has blessed me with amazing people who have encouraged me in taking this step of faith. I thank you all so much for the prayers, encouragement, and support you have given thus far, and I ask that you continue to do so. As I prepare to embark on this new journey I covet your prayers and support. I’ll do my best to keep my blog updated and keep you all informed of what’s going on in my life and ministry with OM Lifehope.  I’d also love to hear from you!  Please keep in touch, let me know if you have any prayer requests, what’s going on in your life, how the family is doing etc.
Thank you all again for your prayers and support.  I look forward to getting to share with you about the work God is doing in the UK and in my life and getting to hear about what He is doing in each of your lives as well.
