Vision for 2009

Sorry it has been so long since our last post. We will try to be more consistent. I will try to update our blog at least every Wednesday. It has been an incredible experience living in Washington D.C. this year. I am thankful for all of my brothers and sisters on the Youth With A Mission team Remnant. They have taught me so much about prayer and intercession, and all the while they were discipling me through the way they live their lives.
Everything is changing for 2009. As our team has sought the Lord, many of us felt pulled in more specific individual directions, but also not to end the team. To more room for God to do what He wants in our own lives and in the team as a whole, we have decided to spread out for a few months and gather together again in Washington D.C. in March 2009.
God has launched a vision in my heart to put together a mobile team to travel around the country with a production to offer hope and healing to those who have been effected by both abortion and miscarriage. Our society often minimizes the significance of losing an unborn child. But as mothers and fathers, our hearts do love and bond with our unborn children, even if its subconciously recognizing that his/her life was valuable, precious, and made in the image of God. Just like other forms of loss, it is important to walk through a healthy grieving and healing process. With the guilt and shame often associated with abortion, there are a whole lot of people who haven't walked through this process of grieving and healing in a healthy way. I want to recognize these people's loss and the pain that they are in by creating a opportunity at Church for them to begin this process. It will be like a memorial for the unborn, but will also teach and talk about the effects of abortion and miscarriage on women and men.
Our family will be in Ohio until March, putting this production together. We are already learning so much about post-abortion healing. We are studying, reading, meeting with Pregnancy Centers and pastors in order to be prepared to take others through this healing process. We will also be doing fundraising, connecting with supporters, writing the production's teachings and dramas, and putting together the audio and video. Let us know if you have good ideas concerning this vision. Pray that the Holy Spirit speaks to us and breathes on this production. Pray for the right connections, relationship, and finances to come in. We are definately in need of God's grace and provision. God bless.
