Don't under estimate prayer.

Don't under estimate prayer.

I feel like I have, in the sense of I have been busy, we all have been. In the meantime we as a team here at G.O. Ministries have had :

The head pastor had a stroke a month ago
2 cars hit (in the past 2 days)
a friend of a staff member die (2 days ago)
Me- serious dehydration ( past 5 days)
many many others sick over the summer.
my hard drive situation.
I feel like there is more.

I don't write this to say aw poor me. But if people want to know what is going on that is what is going on. I would love your prayers.

I was pretty stressed trying to figure out if I was seriously sick. After two blood tests they have decided I am dehydrated.

I would love your prayers for healing:
My dehydration caused me to not be able to turn my head very easily, turn my eyes (look out of the corner), random pains allover the body, skin hurting, and NO energy (only able to be up for a while at a time), I will leave out a few of the other details.

I have been drinking... but the doctor said I need potassium and salt and such is off. So I am praying the Lord continues to watch over me and restore me to health.


I leave tomorrow.... We have been so busy here hosting teams. Allowing groups to come and invest in the lives of others. To share what it looks like to come alongside a National (Dominican or Haitian) and partner in ministry with them.

WE have seen a lot be accomplished. We have seen the Central church's first floor be completed and used, medical clinical clinics in multiple places, a great Youth Camp for kids that have no one else reaching out to them, sports camps, VBS. So much my list is peuney but you get the idea.

I have had the privileged of making Dominican and Haitian friends, learned more about the culture, learned more of the language, more about the vast reach of what our ministry is involved in and even learned about my other staff members. There are days it feels hopeless (I will be honest) we work in rough areas. Kids are brought up by being allowed to roam the streets, sex is the favorite past time considering how many children everyone has by age 22. Doing the right thing by someone happens but not frequently, drunk drivers and a heaping spoon of craziness...

But when God said to go, he knew all that. God has the plan for me and my life whatever it entails. God has the plan for these people. My prayer is that more and more people will come to know Him. That the next generation will be different than the last. That this new generation will be a wild fire sharing the truth with so many in darkness. Literally, in witchcraft, drugs, alcohol abuse, prostitution, sex slave trade, theft and more.

God reminded me this summer: God chose poverty, He came down to be born in a stable for those He loves. He chose to give. He chose to bring life. He gives us choices to give... look for what He is leading you to do.

So to some of you I will see you soon as I am heading back to Louisville to continue my work in the office. I have quite a few projects waiting on my return.
gonna need a bit of recovery time first.


There is your update :)
