Merry Christmas time to you all :) I love this time of year.
A lot of things have happened since returning from the training at New Mission Systems International. The week I returned from training in November Nikola Galevsky, the Pastor of Soulcraft Church in Skopje, was in town for conference at North Point Church in Alpharetta! I was able to visit with him as well as attend a dinner gathering with most all the people that have been on a mission visit to Skopje (about 25 people!). My parents and best friend also got to meet Nikola which is really neat - who gets to do THAT?? Too cool!! Nikola was able to give us all updates about Soulcraft, Skopje, and the 25th of May orphanage. The accessibility God has granted us with Skopje is fantastic. Awesome God!
Recently members on the Care Team (a group of 10 that will be my "posse" in America while I'm in Skopje for 5 years) helped put together an official NEWSLETTER for the mission in Macedonia! We'll be sending out updates once per month. If you'd like to be on the receiving list of the newsletter send me an email or comment on this blog and I'll add you to the list :) Whoop-whoop!
Last night, our mission team that went to Skopje in October 2012, had our wrap-up dinner/gethering to catch up on everyone's life for the last 2 months and to talk about our time in Skopje. Everyone on the team was simply overwhelmed with love, emotion, and the "let's do something" attitude about the mission. Hearing everyone's perspective was refreshing and needed. Many team members have been keeping in touch with some of the older kids since our return. Many will be returning to Macedonia with next year's GlobalX teams and I love hearing that!!!! That's the thing - when people GO to Skopje, they GO BACK.... AND......the kids know it. That's the beautiful part. Just beautiful.
You know???? Anybody want to jump in the river rapids yet? Jesus will provide us floaties.....
I'm just sayin.................Аs Promised.

P.S. So far, 3 couples that have been to Macedonia THIS YEAR ALONE have had or are now expecting their FIRST CHILD. It reminds me that God is the creator and master of all life and He is always bringing NEW life. Amen and AMEN.
