Staying for a second year....Support Raising! :)

G'day! :)

So, I just wanted to announce the exciting news that I have officially been accepted to re-STINT for a second year here in Newcastle this last week! Since moving to Newcastle, I have been praying about staying on the team for a second year and have definitely felt called to one more year!

God has been moving in Newcastle in some crazy and big ways and it has been so awesome to see people's hearts changing for the Gospel. Next year we have the vision of creating multiplying disciples of the Christian students. This means that they will not only take their faith seriously, but that they would then go out sharing their faith and leading Bible studies and stepping up into leadership positions. This has already been happening, but we are wanting to challenge the students even more next year. The second vision we have is to continue to develop authentic community within our movement. This has already begun as well, but we want to continue to grow so that all people would feel welcomed and loved through our movement.

So that is a very brief vision into next year and what our goals are going to be...we are also looking at starting up some student prayer movements and lots of other exciting things!

So here is my plan for the next few months. I am currently on a 2 week break from campus...the students have a 2 week spring break so I am currently beginning to support raise again for next year. I will then go back to campus for the last 3 weeks of the semester working and then will plan on coming back to the states beginning of November to support raise from there!

So for next year, I will need to raise a bit more monthly and a good amount of one off support. So I just wanted to ask you to pray about either continuing on in your support or beginning to support this movement. It has been such a pleasure working with you all and would love to continue or begin to partner with you in this. For monthly support I am looking for people to start now and commit through December 2012 at $100, $50, or any other amount. For one off support, I am looking to have it fully raised by the 1st of December 2011. Please pray about giving a one time gift of $1000, $750, $500, $250, or any other amount. (You can go onto my website directly to donate at https://give.ccci.org/give/View/0628731 let me know if you have any questions)

Again, I would love to ask for all of you to pray just for God's provision. Also, pray for the last three weeks on campus, that our students would continue to grow closer to the Lord and just finish up this year well! :)

Thanks everyone and please let me know if there is anything I can be praying for you about!
