SIX WEEKS?? Where has the time gone...I feel as though I just arrived in Wales yesterday! But I only have 6 weeks left here! God has used this time of training to change and prepare me for the next part of my journey with Him . I have been so blessed by being here and getting to see and be a part of what God is doing in UK. I have done a variety of things over the last few months!
January
Prayer Month
Here in the UK, WH designates January as prayer month. For the entire month we spend 9:30am to 1pm praying together for various things. The last week in January people travel to different parts of the UK to pray as well.
February
We had a few different classes which included Spiritual Formation, Deliverance Ministry,Hermeneutics, and I also did a weekend training course on a tool that was developed to share the gospel with Muslims.
March
Mobile March
Over the month of March we had 4 conferences in 4 different cities. So during the week we had classes which included What is Church, Contrasting Worldviews, and Language and Linguistics for the last two weeks and then on the weekends we were on the road. The language and linguistics course was a lot of work but very helpful! We looked at the most effective ways to learn a language which we can use when we are on field.

April
This first week we have off, so we have an opportunity to rest . Next week we are headed to Scotland. We will have teaching about Onfield Projects and will also be involved in community outreaches with a local church. Then coming back from Scotland we will have a few classes to finish out the month of April. There will be Anthropological Research tools, Social Justice, and Church planting.
May
I will be concluding my time of training here in Wales and preparing for my time in Morocco this summer.
I have a few things I would appreciate you praying for:
1) Finances: I need more people who can commit to giving any amount on a regular basis. Before I am allowed to go on field I am required to have a certain amount coming in each month. I am currently at just over 35% percent. God has been so faithful in providing for me. He has blessed me with a few people who have been faithful in supporting me on a regular basis. Here is a layout of my budget per month:
Rent $420
Food $160Rent $420
Phone $25
Language Learning $50
Language Learning $50
Transportation $35
Emergency $140Total $830
Currently Coming In--$310
Still need--$520
2) Family: I recently lost my grandpa. I would appreciate your prayers for my family and I.
