    ch...ch...changes

    Well it's that time again.
    That time where everything is very confusing and nothing seems right side up...
     
    You know, that time where you start to squirm but God gives you some perspective
    and then when you finally open your eyes and start breathing you see that change is not scary
    it's wonderful and exciting... ok, it's still scary!
     
    Here is what is going on.
     
    Not too long ago I found out that AIM is finding it difficult to continue sending teams to the Nairobi area.
    I know I've talked about housing costs for me personally but AIM is also feeling the crunch and as a result my future here with them is uncertain.
    It has been a challenging thing to think about for various reasons: moving on
    and I'll admit it... I shut down any thoughts that arose of the situation for about a week
    till I remembered that I'm supposed to be an adult and no one else is going to solve my problems for me.
    No one but God... but thank goodness He calls us to act on our faith...
    can you imagine how lazy I would be?
     
    anyways..... ;)
     
    down to the nitty gritty
    I have been researching some other organizations that are working in Kenya and specifically the Nairobi area.
    My priorities have been looking for canadian and international organizations
    and as you probably all know, I love video production... so I've also been looking for any media ministry opportunities.
     
    well, I'm praying this is where God wants me because I have found something amazing.
    A brand new branch of African Inland Mission called On-Field Media
    Their team is small, their office is 5 minutes from my apartment here in Nairobi and their focus is glorifying God through film, graphics, writing and web design.
    not only that, but the canadian office is about 20 minutes from my mum's house
     
    It all sounds too good and I am actively finding out more about them, even as I type this.
     
    I'm not limiting myself however,
    and will continue to look elsewhere until I have found my place and pray as I do
    because I want to be sure that I am not just rushing into anything that I was not designed for.
    I am certain that wherever God leads me will be the best and only place for me.
    and I can't wait to find out where that is!
     
    My time with Adventures in Missions has been great!
    So great in fact that I don't want to leave Nairobi and I still feel called to full time missions.
    Right now I need prayer for peace, trust in the Lord's timing and support.
     
    If this is where I'm supposed to be, I'll need to start raising support all over again.
    which is intimidating and exciting all at the same time.
     
    I want to thank all my supporters... financial, prayer and encouraging...
    I seriously would not be here without you
    and I love love LOVE it here.

    Coonie - I have a friend who works for Africa Inland Mission. She worked with us at CEF but left us to be the Relief and Development Director for AIM. If you would like her contact info, I'd be happy to forward it to you!
