Go for it!

Whew!! This week has flown by but it has been such an AMAZING week to begin. Molly and I have settled into our new digs at Mercy and Truth Medical Mission, a reformed building that was once a seminary. I have gotten to spend some one on one time with the kids this week and God has really placed the teens of this community on my heart. I am going to be beginning a Bible study on sexual purity with the girls because the reality is that Latina youth have the highest pregnancy rate in our country. I am praying that by sharing my heart and testimony with them, God will be evident in the decisions that they make in the future.
Last night also marked our first Kids' Adelante and we had a HUGE group of about 30-35 kids. Jarrett (my supervisor) asked me to help in leading the oldest group of 10-12 year olds. I have to confess I was nervous at first but things went really well. The kids were so involved!!!!They were engaged in the lesson and even offered up prayer requests at the end of the study. I was very encouraged because I can see that God is really going to work in this group this summer.
I am hoping that those of you that will read this regularly will partner with me in prayer as God shows me where He wants me to go. My heart for this week is really for the teens in KCK and prayers that the parents would be open to the Bible study on Sexual purity would be very appreciated. I am trusting that God will allow me to not step on any toes and really love on these girls. Thank you again so much for your prayers and love for me. I apologize in advance for any lack of communication but know that I am praying for all of you!!
