What a Whirlwind!

The last month has been full of many different things! Since I have come on staff with Power To Change and DRIME, I participated in 8 days of training preparing me for full-time ministry. Below is a picture of the new staff I went through the training with!



After training with Power To Change, I was busy getting ready for Benin! Now, it's time GO! The journey begins in Vancouver on Wednesday the 10th at 7am and ends in Cotonou, Benin Thursday the 11th at 8pm [not sure what time that would be here in BC]. The first few days Jamie, Carleigh and I will be settling into the house that we are renting and finding our barrings in this new city! [We will be living in Cotonou - it is right on the coast!]

In the picture below is the Benin Base Plant Team! From left to right: Carleigh, Jamie, me and Abby! Jamie and I will be staying in Benin for the full 5 months. Carleigh will be staying until May, when Abby comes to stay for the remaining 2 months. I'm so excited to serve alongside these lovely people :)


Please remember us in prayer as we head off on this journey. You can pray for:

• Safety - Pray for protection as we travel on the 10th and 11th, and as we go about life in Cotonou! Pray for our spiritual protection as Benin is saturated with voodoo.
  
• Team Unity - Pray for us as we get to know each other better and see each other on our good and bad days!
• Discernment and Wisdom - Pray that we would allow the Spirit to fill us and guide us as we look for the leaders of DRIME Benin.
• Finances - Pray God would continue to provide for our financial needs.
