Recruiting Emphasis Month

I cannot believe it is the end of October already, and November is nearly here! The fall seems to have come and gone here in England. The leaves are on the ground as soon as they change color, and the temperatures have dropped significantly. I am now wearing my winter coat, and can see my breath outside! The clocks went back an hour on Saturday, so now it is getting dark before 5pm.

Other than all that, November is also Recruiting Emphasis Month, where our Personnel department is encouraging everyone to promote OM's critical needs to their supporters, friends and family. There are so many great ministries across the world that need workers! There are especially lots of admin-type positions open. These behind-the-scense people are so crucial for keeping things running!

I'll be posting more as the month goes on. Go to om.org/critical-jobs to see what the needs are and keep them in your prayers!

Transform 2013: the beginning

I just received the fliers I've designed promoting Transform 2013...and wow! I am so pleased with how they turned out, and humbled as well. I look at them and think "Wow God. You are so good. This has come from You. There is no way I could have done this on my own!"

22,000 copies of the English version are going around the world...and I'm working on various translations of the fliers and posters as well as other items for the promotional package. So really, we're just getting started folks! But seriously, what a privilege to have a part in sharing the Good News this way, to help excite and motivate believers to go and tell the story of Jesus to the Mediterranean region.

And you are a part of this story too! This is just one way you are involved as you support me with your prayers and finanical support. Thanks everyone, and God bless!

yay for sisters!

Hello blog world! For the past two weeks I've had a houseguest, and one I'm extremely happy to have--my sister! I've been looking forward to this for a while, and am so happy that she's been here, not just for all the American goodies she brought me, but because I've missed her! I've missed all my family really, but I did not get to see her much when I was home, so I'm chuffed to bits that she is here, and we've had lots of adventures already.

We've walked a bit of Hadrian's wall in the wind and rain, walked around lakes through fields of cows in the Lake district, and climbed up hills and spiral staircases up castle towers in Scotland...and watched lots and lots of Community and Pushing Daisies. She's been the navigator in the passenger seat on our journeys, and I'm happy to say we haven't gotten permanently lost. I take her to the airport on Saturday...she hopes! I might just keep her. Mwahaha.
