When God put Thailand on my heart in 2005 I thought that I would graduate college in ’06, go to Bible College for a year and then leave for Thailand . Well that was not exactly God’s plan as many you know of my brother’s accident in 2007 which paralyzed him from the chest down. I took a break from Bible School and helped my family. Now just recently I have had another chance to serve my family. My mom has been recently diagnosed with Breast Cancer. This has given me a chance to serve my family yet again. After my brother’s accident he continued his dream of becoming a doctor and he is now the first quadriplegic to attend Johns Hopkins Medical School . During this first year of Medical School my mom has been living with my brother to help him with his daily needs. So for the past 3 weeks, while my mom has been having her surgeries, I have been in Baltimore helping my brother. My mom planned to return on Friday and I was going to go back to California today. However, the airport is closed because of a huge blizzard we had this weekend. I will be returning to California when the airport reopens tomorrow. In these next few weeks I have a lot of small and large details to take care of to prepare for Thailand . Here are a few of my prayer requests:
1. My family
-My mom is facing a third surgery and radiation treatment. Pray
that she would make the right decisions concerning how to continue.
2. Leaving date-I am still unsure about when I should leave. I thought that I had to wait until July, which is when the next orientation course would begin, but I have now been told by the field leadership not to wait only on that basis. I am praying through if I should leave in April/May or if I should wait until the July date.
3. Prayer Team- I would love to have a team of believers that are committed to praying for this ministry so that I could send you updates and immediate prayer needs. PLEASE

4. Finances- Pray that all of my finances would come in to allow this to happen.
5. Preparations- Pray that I would be diligently getting ready for this move. All of the little details tend to overwhelm me.
Thank you for your partnership and prayer. I am so so grateful for all of you!
I'm so glad to hear from you again, Christine. Your last post was all the way back in November. I was worried you fell off the planet! Can't wait to hear from you again... Love and Prayers. XOXO.
