Miscellaneous Missionary

This week marks what could be my last in the USA for a long time. Tomorrow, I leave for Denver, and Wednesday, I fly from there to Portugal, where I will connect to the Republic of Mozambique. It seems to me to have been a long time coming. In January of 2001, I was researching short term mission opportunities, when I accidentally applied to New Tribes Mission's full term program. I went through their mission's schooling program that fall. The full training lasted until December of 2003. For the next two years, I was traveling and involved in itinerate ministry to share the ministry of NTM. In 2005, I went to Coimbra, Portugal to study Portuguese at the university there. In 2006, it was back to the USA for more meetings, and now off to Mozambique. It is going to be hard not seeing the friends and places that I have met over the last few years, but God is gracious to give me a much deeper desire to know a new place.

Praise that my paperwork came.
Praise for dear friends and family and their great encouragements over the years.
Praise for God's provision.

Pray for my travel to go safely.
Pray for me to adjust as soon as possible.
Pray for Mozambique, and the needy people there.
