Habakkuk 1:5"Look at the nations and be amazed! Watch and be astounded at what I will do! For I am doing something in your own day, something you wouldn't believe even if someone told you about it...2:3But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed...4the righteous will live by their faith..."
God is shaking up my life again – and I am excited! The above verse from Habakkuk keeps appearing in my life and it is enlivening to see God fulfill it. He has truly blessed me over the past year in ways I could never have anticipated.
The latest installment in the “Dena Saga” is that I am unemployed again! I was in shock when it happened on the 22nd, but God’s timing is incredible. I have wanted to journey to South Africa with a missions organization called “equip” (http://www.repurposing.biz/) since last January, but work has prevented my going. Consequently, being fired allows me to go! I leave the 7th of September for Johannesburg, South Africa. I will act as the Operations Manager for the two week business consulting venture.
This is a God-sized, faith-building step for me. One, me being a planner, this is really short notice; Two, I have limited funding to put toward this project; and Three, me being the logical type, this goes smack in the face of “get a job”! From all appearances it seems that I should stay home, find a new job, generate income, and be “responsible”. So why go?
Simply put, FAITH. I believe God has asked me to go to Johannesburg to serve Him. I will still be sending out my resume and networking for my next position, but this is first. I am excited about the path He is directing me down and for the next steps in my life.
I am writing in hope that you can share in my “journey of faith”. I have two primary areas of need:
1. Prayer support is essential! Some areas include, safe travels, for Godly relationships, for His will to be done, for protection in the Spiritual realm, for daily provision, for wisdom, strength, grace, His guidance, etc. A solid group of prayer supporters is my greatest need and I would value your partnering with me in this way.
Please let me know if you will be able to support me in prayer so that I can keep you up to date on my journey! There will be daily updates posted on the website (http://www.repurposing.biz/) and I will send updates tracking answered prayers, events, and prayer requests.
2. Funding: I trust God completely for the resources I need. But, I believe that others desire to give and support the cause of Christ, thus the request to join me on my “journey of faith”. The venture expenditure will be about $3,500. (This covers airfare and twenty days of in-country costs). If you would like to know more about how to support me, please see the end of this mail.
Thank you so much for your time in reading this and for your prayerful consideration of supporting me.
Immediate Prayer requests:
· Personal spiritual growth, a servant’s heart & readiness to hear God
· God to provide the funds needed for the airfare
· Physical, mental and emotional strength and stamina
· Strengthening of all relationships locally and internationally
· Protection while traveling and while in Johannesburg
Finances:
