--UPDATE FOR MAY--

Wow! March and April flew by! Summer is almost here!!! The weather likes to tease us here in Montana, as one day it will be sunny, beautiful & warm and the next day we will wake up to 4 inches of snow. Looking forward to summer arriving soon! Work here at YWAM Mission Builders International is a new adventure every-day talking to many people around the world every-day looking for opportunities to serve someplace in the world. I find so much joy in being able to help find placements for these people and guide them along the way. So many people are blessed every-day by Mission Builders International, so thank you for your partnership and prayers as this would not be possible without you! At the end of April we had our annual MBI board meeting, people traveling from around the country to be here for intense brainstorming sessions and looking ahead to the future and asking God what he wants MBI to look like. We have updated our website and have new immediate needs for different locations. Check it out on our website and see if you might be able to help fill a need someplace this summer! We have made use of the sunny days we have had, by continuing to clear land for future staff housing and office space.

I have officially graduated and passed Fire-Fighter 1 Academy! Thank you for all your support and prayers with that! It was quite an intense 8 weeks. It has been a wonderful opportunity to do some babysitting lately also, for a little girl name Jiji. We have a lot of fun making paper airplanes, flying them around and coloring and blowing bubbles outside. I also took Bow Hunters Education, a 3 day course at the end of April, as I am now certified to start bow hunting!

--GOD STORY FOR THE MONTH--

During Fire-Fighter 1 School, I was made aware that I would need to purchase Wild-land NFPA rated Leather Fire boots for Wild-land Fire Season. I thought that would be no big deal until I realized they were around $400. So I simply prayed and asked God to provide as I could not afford to buy boots that expensive. I felt led to check E-Bay, where I came across the most perfect pair, brand new, my size and exactly what I needed. Instead of $400 which they are worth, I won them for $99.00! I received them a few days after in the mail and they are perfect! I’ve already got to break them in! The next day I sent a thank you letter in the mail and let her know what a blessing in disguise she was. That night after putting the thank you letter in the mail, I received the following e-mail from her – “Hope you got your boots by now. Just wanted to let you know that I tithe on all my e-bay profits, a $25.00 donation was made to Amazima Ministries after your purchase. They help educate, feed and clothe women and children in Uganda. Great uplifting missionary story. She has a book out, “Kisses from Katie”. So, your purchase of my back of the closet fireboots will help you and people a world away too! Thanks!” I was in absolute AWE after reading this. I was reminded that God cares even about the little stuff in life.
