8/2/2019 PrayerLetter(Jan Feb2012)

1/1

Sincere apologies that it has been

quite some time since my last

update. The months of January

an d Feb r u ary h av e b ee n

unexpectedly busy yet excitingly

life-giving! The entire month of

January was dedicated to

mini str y pla nni ng for the

semester all while receivingfriends, siblings, and parents.

Even I was blessed to have

received my own family, who

rejuvenated me with

s u p p o r t i v e

encouragement

from back home,

familiar laughter

and humor, and

delicious food

that one can only

find from loving

parents. By the end of their trip, my mom

concluded that she wanted to work here with

me and after witnessing how well she shares

the Gospel, I am tempted to hire her. In

ministry, the semester unexpectedly started on

January 16 (the academic calendar is never

trustworthy). Weve successfully re-started our

weekly meetings (still student-led), weekly

I absolutely LOVE reading big, profound, make-my-head hurttheological books. But recently Ivediscovered that adding a little bit of fictioninto my reading diet has greatly helped calm mymind, lighten my mood, and bring back to life a child-like imagination I hadnt felt since the 6th grade. Althoughtime is still allotted for my bible and something theological,f i c t i o n has been a long-lost friend Ive dearly missed.

evangelism, and social events.

The focus was on publicityand getting to know new

students; and by Gods grace

we do have some new faces

around! February was our

STINT mid-year retreat, where

we welcomed the STINT

teams of El Salvador and

Venezuela, and a team of

d i rec to rs who prov ided

shepherding, counsel, traininga n d e f f e c t i v e m i n i s t r y

feedback. Pictured left is the

team with our amazing distant

coaches DJ and Alisha

Jenkins. They are a blessing.

Lastly, we had an opportunity

to serve at an orphanage where

every child is HIV positive. I

played the guitar, sang (sort

of), and loved on the kids asmuch as I could.
