WOMAN'S MISSIONARY UNION (WMU)

WMU 2021 Theme:

“Christian Women Working Together on God’s Mission on One Accord”

Acts 1:14, Acts 2:1-3

 

 Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.  Zechariah 4:6

 

We, the women of New Era District have been praying, and have been successful during the Lord’s work, but there is so much more to be done. What disparity we have in these United States today. People don’t know Christ as their personal savior.  We don’t have the institution of the family hardly anymore. Our children are being abused. We must be in the business of reaching out to an unsaved world.  We know the spirit of God speaks to us constantly, giving us directions.  This is a reminder that all of our work for God depends not on human strength or power or prowess, but upon God’s spirit for fruition.

 

We are going to go deeper into the work, in God’s vineyard depending on him to bring it into fruition. Even before God created the heavens and the earth, he knew you and me and he chose us! You and I were born because of God’s good pleasure. May the spirit of God abide with you this new year and forever.

Friends and Family! 

I hope you have all had a wonderful time this Christmas with your loved ones. Christmas this year was so much fun and I really enjoyed the time I was able to spend with everyone. Every year we ask each other what Christmas traditions their families have and we try to implement those. So this year looked like matching pajamas, eggs benedict for breakfast on Christmas Eve, cinnamon rolls for breakfast on Christmas morning, reading the Christmas story, carols by candlelight, and of course a secret Santa for exchanging gifts. Friends and Family!

God continues to amaze me with His kindness and love throughout this whole journey of midwifery. From the amazing people that He has brought into my life, to the beautiful life that I am privileged to help bring into this world. I could not have chosen a better path for my life in 2022! I’m so thankful that Jesus is in control and doing life with Him has been the absolute best!

Praise Reports:

  • Being fully funded for the December tuition payment

  • Being surrounded by an amazing Jesus-loving community

  • Going into 2023 healthy and whole


 Prayer Requests:

  • Vision and direction from God on where to go next for my 6-month internship and provision for that

  • Continued strength in my physical body and academically as I forge ahead to finish the program well

  • Maintaining good relationships with the people around me

  • Continuing to listen to Holy Spirit as I navigate through 2023 and a deeper intimacy with Jesus in the coming year


Thank you so much for your continued love and financial support!
I would not be able to do this without you and I wouldn’t want to.
My heart is overflowing with love and gratitude for each and every one of you! Praying for God's very best for you as you begin 2023! You may send your gifts of financial support to:
