Stepping into a Fall of Newness

How was your summer? Amazingly, it’s coming to a rapid close!

As summer passes, Thai’s responsibilities ramp up here. In July, he was asked to become the Director of Relations for the OneThing Regional Conferences. With a team of 6 joining him to mobilize young adults, churches and college ministries, he has been travelling almost weekly to spread the word about OneThing Conferences coming this fall to Phoenix, Los Angeles, and Raleigh/Durham, NC. If you are in these areas, we would love for you to join us—the conferences are free, bringing in stirring speakers and worship leaders from the Int’l House of Prayer.

While Thai has been on the road, I’ve continued to focus on the Luke18 Project and preparing for Motherhood. After our Summer Leadership Program, I personally learned two things. I need to lean more on my team of Luke18 coaches and staff (mainly God’s provision) to lead the students the Holy Spirit has drawn to the Luke18 Project. And also that I needed to pull back from full-time ministry to let myself fully engage in preparing for our coming son, Noah.

Since July, my leadership within Luke18, and schedule in the prayer room, has been shifted to part-time. Just recently I visited the University of Kansas, as they met for the first time this semester and felt like I was coming home. I love being on campus with these students. I also can’t wait to meet little Noah! And am grateful for the time I have to rest, pray, prepare our home and my heart for his arrival in late October. I am blessed to continue balancing both for the next month.

As we finish up our second summer here at the Int’l House of Prayer, it reminds me that we’ve been here a year now--WOW--and so much has changed in our hearts, in our ministry roles, and our own personal family life. But one thing has remained the same, God’s heart towards us. Thankfully our opportunity to meet with Him, serve Him and be ministered to by Him in the prayer room has been a consistent part of our lives. This has been huge as we continue to minister and grow as a family.

Know that we are praying for each of you, our family, our friends, our partners. As we shift into a new Fall season, we are praying that it is a season of unity and grace over your family and amidst all you may have ahead.
