I am a missionary - Officially!

Hi friends!
So you may remember in my last update that I was coming up on something called RACE. Well I got back from the Philadelphia area on Saturday, which is where I participated in RACE. Not only was there some training and information that I gained in RACE, I also didn't realize some of what to expect coming into RACE. The C and E stand for candidate evaluation... which was a very challenging process! I was stretched and challenged, and got a chance to self-evaluate as well, which was hard but good. I am still trying to process everything, but as far as getting to Haiti here is where I am:
I signed with World Team, and I am officially a missionary!
I received a list of requirements for what all needs to be done before I go.
I also created a ZAP (Z to A Plan) that illustrated all the timing for said things.
I met my Field Director, and he is supportive of my choice of going to the field in Haiti (good thing, since that was where I felt called to go to!) :-)
I plan to go with CrossRoad's team to visit Haiti in May. This will also be a chance for me to meet with the missionaries I will later be working with.

Ways you can be praying:
I am seeking a mentor. (So if you are interested or know someone, let me know. I have a few prospects, but that does not make anything final)

My finances (with being gone, they are okay right now, but pray God would continue to work in them).

I have A LOT of things that need to happen before I go to Haiti. Pray that I get on it (and I already have some...).

I will be raising support for the short term trip which is in a month and a half. Pray the finances come in.

I am seeking God on some aspects of all of this during this week. Please pray that I can discern the direction I should take.

Finally, if you are interested in committing to be a prayer partner (for the foreseeable future, hence the word choice) please email/call/fb me. I will add you to my email update list, and keep you posted on what to be praying about.

Thanks friends!!!
