Week Three

Well, we are nearing the end of week three and it feels as if time is just flying by! We are learning so much and keeping busy with assignments. This week we are focusing on Church Planting Movements. We have had a few different presenters that have been involved in CPMs and have been able to learn about CPMs happenning right now around the world. It is very encouraging to hear about what God is doing with ordinary people who are fallible and weak. Other sessions this week have been IMB Principles, Malaria, Doctrine of the church, and Prayer networks. Last week we had sessions on anthropology (my favorite subject) and worldview. These were especially important because my job on the field will be to make relationships and evangelize while researching Sokoto Fulani worldview, beliefs and values. This excites me! I am now certified to teach ESL (English as Second Language) as well. We participated in these sessions on our own time, two Saturdays. That is a great certification to have! Thanks alot for your faithful prayers! I wouldn't be here without you! Below are a few personal praises and prayer requests: Praises:

• Encouraging friends and wise career missionaries to offer counsel
• great weather to enjoy God's creation
• awesome teachers and knowing that the Cooperative Program spends our tithes and offerrings wisely and prudently

Prayer Requests:

• Diligence to get enough sleep and wake up to have quantity and quality morning devotions
• For God to reveal places where I have not given Him control
• Just being open to be used wherever, whenever He wants.
• My family at home
• Sokoto Fulani People

Revelation 7:9-10 After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the thron and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb."
