Transition

My new home

For those of you who don’t know I am in the middle of changing jobs. I’ve been working with Noah Ministries in Likasi and the Wesleyan Church but I will begin working for the Ameropa Foundation this month running social programs in Kisankala. I am excited about the change. I’ll be living in a village which I love and surrounded by other expats. It’s a great opportunity and I’ll be able to continue to live out God’s call on my life for Congo.

There is a lot that goes into the change. I’m busy hopping between Zambia and Congo getting visas changed and trying to sell the things I don’t need and transport the things I do the 130km from Likasi to Kisankala.

I’m making budgets and plans and my head is spinning with ideas and the best way to accomplish goals. I’m racing from place to place and person to person figuring out costs and availability of goods.

It’s a stressful time but also so exciting with seemingly endless possibilities and the feeling of being on the cusp of something wonderful- dreams becoming a reality.

It’s a challenging time of leaving so many friendships and children and ministries behind and in the hands of others.

It’s always hard to start over but also nice to have a clean slate.

I’m in the all too familiar place of transition once again. Please keep me in your prayers and I’ll try to keep you informed on how everything goes.
