MISSIONS UPDATE:

Spring Break:
First full week of March
A group of students and I will be taking a road trip down to Gulfport Mississippi to some Katrina Damage Help. We just really want to be a blessing to the people who seem to now be forgotten but who are still in need... they're lives will never be the same- but thanks the Lord, we know he will be faithful!
PRAYER REQUESTS:
Funds- its not too much but we still want to be able to be a blessing to the people who need to see a light in days that seem so dim.
Prayer- That the Lord will use us to the best of our ability in everything we do. Wether it is just talking with the people or... roofing!
Safety- This will be a road trip, and I'm sure a fun one, but all of us will be taking turns driving and sleeping and there is always a prayer for safety on the roads!!

Summer:
Internship- there is oppurtunity to do the same internship I did last year with experience mission, and maybe another... I am still praying about it- pray with me as I need to make a decision sooner of later!
Nicaragua- This year I have the oppurtunity to go to Nicaragua again with Los Amigos de Esteli- definitely an amazing trip. I may also look into staying longer or going before-hand to learn some Spanish. Please pray the Lord leads me in these decisions also.

Student Teaching:
I have applied to student teach cross-culturally and I sincerely believe that is what the Lord wants me to do, but this is the assessed situation at the moment.

$300 dePosit needed by Tuesday- Don't have YET
Partner: IWU doesn't send out teachers alone- Don't have YET
Place: I would LOVE to go to the Middle East (it is required we go to a Nationally accredited school)- No Prospects as of YET

SO, all in all it is a good thing that Hebrews 11:1 says: faith is the SUBSTANCE of things HOPED for and the EVIDENCE of the UNSEEN... Oh, ye of little faith... He is FAITHFUL to completion!!
