I guess the only way to do this is to go backwards in time. We'll do our best to keep this short, but when (Ann) is behind the computer, there are no promises.
Real-Time
Currently, Justin is in Nairobi, Kenya for a conference where he is responsible for training Vision Fund micro-finance workers on new processes. He is also going to Bangkok, Thailand (where NightLight is!) for a conference. If you think of him, please pray for protection of his safety and health. Moreover, please pray against the enemy's attacks which are inevitable with this type of work.
2012
We were very happy to be back in LA in the New Year. It got off to a busy but good start for the both of us. Justin is still enjoying his work at World Vision, along with all his co-workers. We actually hang out with them on a personal level because we WANT to. That's a rare find and a blessing! After much prayer and soul-searching, I have decided to commit to NightLight on a full-time basis for this season of life. I'm extremely excited about investing more time into this organization that brings freedom to women who are being sexually exploited. Most importantly, we share the gospel with these women, the only true redeeming power in bringing healing to their lives. You can make a direct impact by buying jewelry which sustains these women's jobs and and keeps them out of prostitution! http://store.nightlightinternational.com/
Besides work, we are LOVING Pacific Crossroads and the small group in Pasadena. We attended a community group leader training, which feels very much a great way for us to serve together in the near future. God is continuing to teach us how very imperative his gospel and the saving work of Jesus Christ is to our every day life.
We so appreciate your continued support and prayers. There is so much to be thankful for
- Opportunities to work at World Vision & NightLight
- Blossoming relationships in LA through church
If you think of us, please pray for:
- Protection over our marriage and families
- God would continue to show us in what it looks like to really follow him as his disciples
Fun Updates
Andrea got into her first car accident on "the 110". It was her fault, though!
We went to see Moneyball at the Chinese Mann Theatre, followed by our very first Roscoe's chicken and waffles.
Justin's been up to Mammoth several times this season - no broken limbs this time! He is enjoying the mountains!
