August 2026 Update
Updated: Sep 8
Why & What
To see a world where women and girls encounter Jesus and contagiously share His love across generations and nations all for the next one to encounter Him too. This is why I said "yes."
Highlights
Dinner Church
I had another opportunity to serve at Dinner Church this month. I truly love connecting with the people we serve and serving alongside like-minded individuals who simply want to love people well by sharing our love of Jesus with those we serve and with each other.
Meaningful Conversations
Some of my favorite moments throughout this journey continue to be the conversations I get to have with old friends and soon-to-be new ones. I love hearing your testimonies, learning about your journeys, praying together, and simply sharing time with the Lord together. These moments continually remind me that this journey is about so much more than reaching a destination—it’s also about the people God allows me to meet on the journey.
If I’ve reached out and we haven’t had a chance to connect yet, please message me. I’d still love to connect with you.
A Special Family Moment
Our family celebrated an exciting milestone this month as my youngest niece received her “white coat” and begins medical school! I am incredibly proud of her and excited to see where this new journey takes her. Please join me in praying for her as she enters what will undoubtedly be a challenging but rewarding season of learning, growing, and preparing for the calling ahead of her.
We’re Getting Closer
Every “yes” to the Lord brings us another step closer. The monthly Sender’s Team continues to grow, and we are now just $865 in monthly partnership away from the finish line! I’m especially grateful for existing one-time cash donors who said yes to becoming monthly partners and existing monthly partners who generously increased their monthly gifts. There are already new partners on deck for September. 🎉
I’m also incredibly grateful to our new one-time cash partners. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
Looking Ahead
September brings two events I’m really looking forward to. The CLC Sisterhood Conference, “Without Ceasing,” September 18–19 and the Life Worship Collective, "A Night of Worship From This House," September 27! Live recording of worship songs written and performed by our very own CLC worship team. To register for these upcoming events click the link.
If you’re planning to attend and you’re looking for someone to sit with, talk with, or simply hang out with—I’m her! 😊 Just text, message, or call me. I would love to spend some time with you.
I will also continue sharing my testimony and missionary journey with churches, missions teams, small groups, Bible studies, women’s groups, businesses, and individuals as God continues opening doors. If you, your church, group or business would like to learn more how you can play a role in the Great Commission globally, I would be honored to come and share.
Closing
As the finish line gets closer, I continue to be reminded that this journey has never been about my timing—it has always been about God’s perfect timing.
Thank you for continuing to pray, encourage, give, share, and walk this journey alongside me. Every conversation, every prayer, every new monthly partner, and every opportunity to hear your testimony and share mine reminds me that God is in this journey. I remain grateful for each person God has brought alongside me.
Let me know how I can be praying 🙏🏾 for you. Please continue praying that I will align my will with God’s plan for me and remain obedient to His direction in this season and the next.
“Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths.”Psalm 25:4
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 NIV
Some are called to go. Others are called to send. And together, we get to be part of what God is doing around the world. 🌍💝
May God Bless you, Keep you and bring you Peace that surpasses all understanding!
With gratitude and love 💕
