Two weeks in the City

Hello supporters, friends and family.

I hope you all are receiving for formal Thank You notes but I would like to thank you all again for your financial support, encouragement and prayers. All have helped significantly with my journey here and continue to serve me as I am seeking Gods day to day direction here in Milwaukee.

I have now been in Milwaukee for just about two weeks. The first week was spending running around the city, sitting in training sessions on how to share the gospel, cross cultural training and exercises, and bonding with my great team of 19 college students. Our internet time is limited to a half hour a day and sometimes with our schedule even that is impossible. I will be making every effort to update you all as often as possible. I am so grateful and blessed by your continued interest in my ministry and what God is doing here in Milwaukee.

Two Days and Counting

As I am preparing to spend 8 weeks in the inner city of Milwaukee I was debating what was the best way for me to keep my supporters, family, and friends updated on what God does throughout my time there. I decided that a Blog would be the most personal, effective, and realistic way for me to reach everyone. I will be updating as often as my busy schedule allows.

For now I can tell you all this:

I have found my job already and tomorrow marks my third day getting aquatinted with it.

I will be working at the Village Kindergarden, an in home daycare center in the northwest side of Milwaukee. The founder and head childcare provider Tischa is a wonderful woman from Boston who was so kind to offer me a position as a childcare assistant. I am confident that God will use this position to challenge me, teach me, and use me in many ways this summer.

I am already falling in love with the kids and can feel God giving me the compassion and patience I will need with the children and with the parents and other people in the neighborhood.

My prayers right now are that I would connect well with the others on my project quickly and that we will all bond and be able to function well as a Christian community in our fun, support, and ministry.

Thanks to you all!
