Gotta Love His Plans...

As I write these words today, I have just finished spending time following up with one of our Belize team members. After a retreat, it is interesting to hear from the hearts of team members what God was up to in their lives during the retreat and to get their input on the strengths and weaknesses of the ministry and my leadership, so we can always continue to do it better each time for His glory and for the sake of the kingdom!

Also, it is so fun to watch the missionary women themselves connecting back and forth after a retreat! And their feedback to our ministry is such an encouragement to stay the course!! I wish the whole team could fly back in for some of the luncheons and get together times the missionary women are planning in the future.

I love watching the connections that come as a result of the retreats. I still like watching the emails that have gone back and forth in the past from our group of women in Uganda who have tried to encourage each other as they stay in touch! The same goes for the women of the retreats in Prague and all the other countries in which He has given us the opportunity to love on and connect with women who participated in Pure Joy retreats.

We have begun preparation for our East Asia trip that takes place in the fall. Please pray as the team comes together. Also, pray for our staffing this week as we look into expanding our territory regarding Pure Joy. We want His wisdom and direction as we expand.

Please begin to pray about your part in giving toward this East Asia trip. Our sponsorship per missionary will increase for this particular trip, so, just pray and be obedient as the Holy Spirit leads. This I know: He is always faithful to provide for the needs of the missionary women. And I don't expect that to change other than to increase, because this is His ministry to the women, and we just get to be in on it!!! Praise God for the privilege to join Him in encouraging and loving on the body of Christ to propel one another forward for His glory, the salvation of souls!

Love you all much!

His,
Vickie
