June Update :)

June Update for Kenya

Hello my friends! Well this last month has been quite crazy. J The beginning of May my oldest brother Pat and his family of 14 moved into our house in Zionsville for a 3 week stay while waiting for the move to Colorado Springs where my brother has a job with Challenger homes. It was so special to have that extra time with them before they moved. My oldest niece, Elissa, graduated from High school! And we also enjoyed my nephew Austin’s kindergarten graduation program. J Elissa will be going to Uganda at the end of July to serve with Sufficiency of scripture (SOS) ministries for 6 months! Please be praying for her and the tribe as this time of separation will be a new step for their family. Also pray for her safety and that her heart would be willing to serve in whatever way God calls her. I was able to join the Tribe on their westward journey for a week before coming back to take care of the Zionsville home. My Dad is currently on the Amazon with my brother-in-law Chris Gordon. They are serving on a medical boat with Samaritans Purse. They are due to arrive home June 18^th late at night. We don’t expect to hear much until then, they said something about limited access to the internet on the Amazon. J

God has really been working in my heart as the time for departure gets closer and closer. I was expecting that I would be leaving in July, but because of support not being at 100% I am now shooting for an October departure. I am resting in the fact of knowing that God’s timing is perfect! I am confident that He will provide in just the right timing. Please continue to be praying with me for the rest of the needed funds. I am at a little over 100% for outgoing but still at 82% for monthly. There are so many times when I take my eyes off the Gospel that I start to get discontent or question the timing of what is happening. Then God is faithful to remind me of His timing and that I can rest in His sovereignty. His plan is perfect! I am reminded of this verse.

“But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.” (Lamentations 3:21-25 ESV) I can live each day with confidence in Him, resting day by day in His faithfulness.

I am working on getting Bible classes done slowly but surely. Please be praying for diligence with my schedule. I have many things to do on the outgoing list AIM gives us to help with preparations. Also if you could be praying that I would be able to find some sort of job until I leave. The jobs I was working are mostly school-year responsibilities so they have pretty much ended now. If you have anything that comes to mind, feel free to let me know. J

As always, I would love to hear from you and be praying with you about anything you might want to share. Please feel free to email me with any prayer requests or even something God is teaching you. It is always so encouraging to hear how He is working.

Serving with you,

Amy Jarrett
