Send Me

"And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?' Then I said, 'Here am I! Send me.'" - Isaiah 6:8

As most people know, or are finding out, that small phrase, "send me", has become my life's motto over the past several months. It all started about 3 years ago on a short term trip to South Africa, God got a hold of my life and set me on a path that lead to where I am today. . . . now if I could just figure out where that is! As I've started moving forward in the plans He has laid out for me some pretty big life changes have occured, none bigger, to most people, than quitting my job. Maybe the gravity of that decision hasn't set in for me or maybe God is sheltering me from the worry that usually accompanies a decision like that because . . . . I am LOVING it! There is the small issues of cash flow being dramatically reduced, but God is finding ways to provide above and beyond what I ever imagined. So next, I go. . . where is still up in the air and any prayer for wisdom in making that decision is greatly appreciated! God continues to pull my heart and mind toward India, Cambodia and other SW Asain countries and I continue to look for opportunities and ministries that I could potentially partner with there. As I continue on the journey I'll be updating this blog much more often, no more 2 year lulls! I thought that would be the best way to keep those people updated who want to be updated on where this adventure is taking me! As I look back over the several years that have brought me here, I'm amazed at the people, situations and friendships that God has blessed my life with and used to show me that this is the path He has laid out for me, I eagerly anticipate each new day to live a life worthy of His calling and to see the beauty and wonder within that He continues to provide!

I'm excited about following along. We're at a very similar place. Looks like the next step for our crew is going to be an all family trip to Africa next summer . . .

That's so exciting! Have you ever heard of Gospel for Asia or K.P. Yohannan? Get on their website and check it out! There are a couple books they're giving out for free that I just ordered and they are awesome. You should check them out! I was listening to K.P the other day talking about missions in India and you came to my mind! I know the Lord has something amazing in store for your life! Love you and your heart Jen!
