Tomorrow is a new day!

Growth
These last few months have been full of growth here in Santiago. Our missionary family not only grew by the addition of the Andrew's family but my church family continues to grow with the birth of new babies. Along with new physical life, God is providing in form of outreach as well. Many new small groups have started out in the interior of Santiago and some are in the works here in the city. Please keep this new growth in your prayers. As well as the planting of seeds that took place in August and September by too teams from Georgia.
On a personal note:
God has moved in my own life a lot these last two months helping me to see how I can be a better missionary and leader. I am growing in the area of independence and faith daily. After a recent trip to Paraguay to renew my visa and have some health check-ups God continued to show me how capable I am with his help.
Praises:
~A successful trip to Paraguay
~2 successful mission teams
~ Letters and packages from home.
~ Continued guidance and growth in Christ
Requests
~ God will continue to lead me in where I should start a small group
~For my allergies and sinuses ( the weather changes fast here and I feel it in my face when it does)
~For continued desire to get my monthly tasks done.
~For my trip home in December
~ For the spiritual warfare that is so alive because God is moving here.
~ For continued language learning

Who is a missionary?

We are all missionaries, we just have different fields of service. What is yours? I am an international missionary, I get to meet people of all different nationalities and become friends with them, you can too. No matter where you live or what you do our world is very diverse and there are people who need Jesus all around us, reach out to them!
