It's been a while since I posted any updates so let me fill you in. Since we left Kruje my team and I spent 17 days in Vlore doing ATL ministry. There we were able to make connections with several amazing individuals and tell them about how the Lord impacted our lives. One of those connections literally landed on the beach right in front of us and allowed an opportunity to go paragliding while sharing about our faith with our guides. Let's go God!

We said a tearful goodbye to our team lead Heidi, amidst leadership shifts. If you would like to read more about it through her perspective then you can read her vlog here. Lindsey our SQL is taking over as our interim TL until we get to our next debrief.

My team then set off for Lushjne, where we are partnering with a ministry that supports battered women, single mothers, youth, and children. The first couple of days we sabbathed, celebrated my birthday, and started ministry. Watch my vlog below to see how sweet it has been so far. We have just three weeks here before we set off for our 3rd country!!!

Prayer requests

  • For leadership as they make big decisions on our next placement as a squad. Right now our third country will be Kosovo. However there is uncertainty surrounding our fourth country and the direction moving forward.  
  • For the ministry we are partnering with. They are facing closure due to persecution and pressure from the government. 
  • For health and safety of the squad and team BANJO past and present. (especially for Heidi as she steps into this next season).
  • For myself to have wisdom and clarity from God in my current season.
