Anticipation of what can be!

February has kicked off with a full schedule. Praising the Lord for seeing how He is at work not just here in Stockholm, but the entire country! We are excited for what we have learned these past years in engaging hard to reach people groups, living cross-culturally in a new city, and for a shift we sense in the atmosphere. Building off the momentum built last fall with the number of teams and workers sent, there is much anticipation of what God has in store for us this year. May His Kingdom come and His will be done!

Recently, I was invited to share at a seminar entitled “Spreading God’s Kingdom in vulnerable neighborhoods.” The time went fast telling stories and describing practical activities families can engage so that their neighbors can experience the love and hope we have in Christ.
A group of ladies who labor among refugees in Cologne, Germany came for a mini-retreat last weekend. It was a great gift to have the opportunity to host them and see how they are being renewed as they sat in truths from God’s words.
Last night I landed in Luleå (the first city I lived in when I moved to Sweden 10 years ago…yikes!) The days are full of catching up with people, seeing how they are being used by God as well as preparing for a discipleship training day this Saturday. I appreciate your prayers as we continue to see others empowered and equipped to live out fully a lifestyle of discipleship. I will also get to meet some key contacts for the research project. I am looking forward to hearing their stories and learning from their experience.

An update on my mother…. Thank you for the continued support and encouragement I have received from so many of you. My mother continues to gain strength each week and will look to return to work in a couple of weeks. Please continue to pray for stability in her blood pressure, use of her left arm healing after a surgery, as well as for her to get full nights sleep. Thank you!!!

Financial update. I continue to be humbled and blown away at the generosity of so many making this ministry possible. To date, there has been $12,475 in one time gifts and and $350 increase in monthly giving! We are very close to reaching the final goal. Praying for the final $4525 in one time giving and another few monthly partners averaging 100 a month to cover all expenses for this year. If you have yet to join a financial team for a missionary, here is your chance! Just click here to get started today!
