December 2025
Hello Family!
I pray that you have had a beautiful month reflecting on this year and all God's faithfulness throughout it. Ending this year and looking forward to 2026 I want to remember God's goodness. We're ending the year surrounded by our family and loved ones, he's given us a place tol temporarily call home, he's provided Ado with a stable job (and a raise!) and most importantly I've witnessed so many people come to know Jesus and deepen their relationship with him.
Support Update
I will be in Ohio for the month of January to support raise! We are praying to raise $1000 in monthly support as well at $12,000 in one-time gifts to cover expenses that have come out of the fund I'm responsible for over the last 2 years and to prepare for the years to come. If you'd like to contribute towards our ministry for this upcoming year, or give an end-of-year gift, there is still time to give! You can give online here.
I will be visiting the following churches on the dates listed,
I would love to see you there and plan a time get together personally!
Jan 4th - Ethos Church
Jan 11- Freedom Bible Church
Jan 18- Gathering Community Church
Jan 25- Providence Church
CDI
We ended the school year with a wonderful Christmas party. The church members provided gifts for each and every child, and they were so excited. We also graduated 5 students from the CDI!
We are still unsure about Esther and Melani's replacements at the CDI, please continue to pray that God will provide the right person or people for the job!
Build Update
We continue to wait and pray as we are in the observation stage in the permit process. We have had more setbacks than we can say, but we are trusting that God's timing is above ours. On a good note, we were able to get a local City Hall permit to start building the retention walls for the back of the property! It's been so encouraging to see progress. Our builder has told us that it's not just the institution responsible for the permits, but also the administration of our development that's been giving us problems and has been difficult to work with. Please pray with us that all building restrictions and obstacles will be removed and that he would connect us with the right people to get our house started!
Church update
We have been raising money as a church to build on our property, however the permits are also going to take longer than expected. Pastor Ivo talked to the owner of the building and she has agreed to let us lease the building for six more months while we get the build underway. Praise God! Please keep this in your prayers as we take this next step forward as a church.
Pray with Me
- Pray for our church- that the Lord would bless this transition of our church
- Pray for house permits and building, and for our emotional and spiritual health during this time of waiting.
- For support raising- that God will provide the necessary funds for me to continue in full-time ministry here
