Looking Forward for February...

My apologies for not posting sooner. We've started picking up the pace for the year and the internet has been down around the island sporadically, as the Telecom company is working on updating our network.
I'm looking at my calendar for February, and almost every day is already full.
So this is just going to be a short blog of what I'm hoping and planning on doing in the next few weeks.
First of all, starting Wednesday, I'm planning on volunteering at Imanuela Akatemia, the Christian school here on the island. I want to go on a weekly basis. We've really started to build relationships with the kids at the school and it's something I want to further. One of my goals for building relationships at the school is to be able to run an after-school Cookies Club with some of the pre-teen girls on a weekly basis. I'm not sure it's something I'll be able to necessarily with all my other commitments, but it's something God laid on my heart just before Christmas, and so the Cookies Club is something that I'm praying into.
Also, every year we have a Ladies Night on Valentines Day with all the women on base, this year we're expanding into the community, and I'm in the middle of making invites for different ladies we felt to ask to join us. It's going to be really good!
On Sundays, I help out/lead the Children's Church at one of the churches in the next village. Before Christmas I was just helping out, but I'm starting to lead different parts of it and next Sunday I'll be taking the whole service. I'm a little bit nervous, but it's kids, so as long as they think it's fun, I think it should be alright. For the first term of school, we're teaching on the theme, "Who is God?" Kate is developing a pretty cool curriculum:) And we want to put it all together so that eventually we can expand into other churches and have the resources already ready.
I'm still also in charge of our intercession times & prayer chains, so it takes quite a few hours out of my week. Communication & administration happen on a daily basis. I've also been growing YWAM Cooks on the web, and just started a new blog for the base. You can check it out at: http://ywamcookislands.blogspot.com/
I'm also getting things ready for the Mini-DTS. We've never run this kind of school before, so I'm having to do a lot of paperwork and a lot of developing of the course/schedule/etc. There's a lot to think about! But it's worth it. We've had a few inquiries from people already, and lots of people who are very enthusiastic to learn more about the course. I'll keep you posted on what's happening on that end, but I would really appreciate prayers, as it's a very open field for ministry and I really want to see people's lives changed for Christ!
So that's just a bit of what's happening here on this end. Thank you for your continued prayers and support and your readership:) Feel free to contact me anytime:)
