Where Did August Go??

I feel like I blinked my eyes, and August is done and gone. Here are some fun photos from last month.

Panama - LAC/MENA Division Conference

August 6th - 13th my entire family had the opportunity to participate in the LAC/MENA Division Conference (LAC - Latin America/Caribbean; MENA - Middle East North Africa). Our family was poured into in a way we never have been before. We spent the week being encouraged, inspired and refreshed. It was also an amazing time of bonding and a series of firsts for my kids (first time on a plane, first time in the ocean, first time at a resort).

Haiti - Team Training

Three days after we returned from Panama, I was back on a plane headed for Haiti. I spent three days there with our Haitian staff. We were focused on implementing some of the training we've been doing over the last two years. Our focus was on collaboration, and it was amazing to hear some of the thoughts and ideas our Haitian teammates brought to the table. This team is literally on the spiritual front line. Please keep them in your prayers as they are daily going out into the community to engage and check in with the children in our program.

Back to School

A week after I arrived at home, it was time to go back to school. Andy: 16th year teaching. Michael 7th grade. Abby 5th grade. Tony 2nd grade. Charlie 4 years old and in his last year of preschool.

COS Process

ReachGlobal really likes to use acronyms. COS stands for Change of Status and I will be seeking that this week. I cannot believe it has been two years already since I started this journey with ReachGlobal, and GlobalFingerprints. This week, I will be in interviews as I seek to change my status from 23-month short-term to long-term. I will spend three days meeting with teams from ReachGlobal to assess my ability to stay with this organization on a long term basis. Thank you to those of you whom have supported me prayerfully and financially. I will be in touch with everyone on this list within the next few weeks seeking time to talk with you about your ability and desire to stick with me for the long haul. Please start praying about how God might use you in helping to further my ministry with GlobalFingerprints.
