Missionary news from Bolivia
December 2016
Dear Prayer Partner
What I Have Been Doing
Since August, I have been praying that God give me the exact mission that He has for me long term. After that, for Him to show me where. Lately, I have also added in a ministry partner. I love my children and the people that I work with. However, I have learned that I am not a teacher and I don't thrive the best in that atmosphere. I Have been meeting with a lot of people and learning about the different ministries here in Cochabamba and other parts of Bolivia. I started helping out with a missionary group out of my church here with feeding the homeless. Just this week, I went to the teen girl prison. God is shedding light on the job He has for me. Now, I am waiting for the where and the ministry partner. More to come on the subject in the future.
Changes
I have really enjoyed my life in Cochabamba. It is one of the best places to live. However, I am coming to the end of my term. I am looking at the changes my life has had over the last 15 months and what I want to see in the next 8 months. A lot of the people I have grown close to will be moving onto a new journey in life and I couldn't be happier for them. Others, are getting more settled in their lives where ever they are. I have never been one to just sit still, so I have been contemplating on what I want to see in my life in the next few months and years. I believe after the new year that I will lessen my time at Jireh and focus on things that are more along my Spiritual gifts and personality. I would thrive in administration along with taking care of people.
My updates
- I have made some really incredible friends and a family of friends. I really have made a comfortable life.
