New Newsletter
After multiple computer problems I finally got out
my 1st offical newletter this week for Youth Outreach
United. I am a little out of practice writing letters
but I know it will all come back to me in the next few
months. I have been very busy with my new work for
Y.O.U. but also for our upcoming trip to Belarus. I am
grateful to the Lord for restoring my health so that I
can serve Him doing what I love to do!!

"Lead You To The Cross" (Official Music Video)
My Passion and My Purpose is to lead others to the cross just like
Dr. Martha who gave her life so that others could know Christ!
Catching Up
I have a tremendous amount of catching up to do on this blog. I
took a sabbatical from blogging lately.In fact for quite awhile.
When I created my blog I fully intended it to be a space to share
the ministry work I was doing. Due to high pressure in my job,
family,situations, and health issues I took some time off. I haven't
been totally out of the loop. In June 2014 Mark and I led a team from
First Baptist Atlanta to LaCampa, Honduras. It was my 3rd trip there.
We love working with the Lenca Indians and this trip was no exception.
We had a great time of children's ministry, women's ministry, and
construction. (That was Mark not me!)
When we returned from the trip I had major surgery on my cervical
neck. Really it was 2 surgeries. The Surgeon performed an anterior
discectomy and cervical fusion and then I was flipped over and he
performed a posterior cervical fusion C3- C7.I was in ICU 6 days.
Needless to say my neck was in serious trouble. I have had quite a
recovery with complications of pneumonia, swallowing, and speaking
problems and of course pain, lots of pain. I think that's to be
expected when they put 7 metal plates and 14 screws in your neck!
God is good and He has and is continuing to heal me!!
During this time I have prayed, searched and interviewed for s new
ministry position. I was offered several ministry position's but
they just didn't feel right. God has His timing and He knew that
I badly needed the surgery last summer. So He prompted my spirit
to wait - BE STILL! This past fall I seriously began seeking Gods
will and He has led me to a new position. Last week I was officially
welcomed as the Director of the International Village in Atlanta
for Youth Outreach United. I am so blessed!!
