Due to the current situation here we are unable to do ministry, so the Reeds and I have been advised from IM to work remotely in the States for the time being.

The first six months have brought me joy, challenges, tears, frustrations, laughter, and growth.

As I watched them worship our God with all their body, soul, and mind it was obvious that the Holy Spirit is working and moving within this community.

When I was at my cross-cultural training last summer we focused one of our days on transition. I learned that there are five stages of transition. First is called the settled stage, second is the unsettled stage, third is the chaos stage, fourth is the re-settling stage, and lastly is the “new” settled stage. I feel that I am in the unsettling stage of transition.
