I first want to take a moment to thank you all for your prayers. \u00a0There is power in community and it is shown in mighty ways. Prayer sustains us, uplifts us, encourages us. It connects us is ways we really can’t explain; but we know when others are praying for us don’t we?!<\/p>\n

2020 has been such a challenging, difficult and yet exciting adventure of a year for all of us. \u00a0Challenging and difficult in so many different ways. \u00a0Changes in how we do ministry together; losses of loved ones; losses of plans and dreams. \u00a0Exciting adventures as God took what we saw as a horrible circumstance and wove His glory and love into it. Travel adventures that could only be accomplished by His involvement. \u00a0New doors opened; a new life of joy. \u00a0There is a difference between a happy life and a joyful life. \u00a0I don’t know about you; but sometimes I have to look really hard to see it, and sometimes I don’t see it right away, but I know it’s there and that gives me a firm peace – especially\u00a0in the middle of this chaotic year.
\n\u00a0
\n2019 ended with a second Merge group that served in Bariloche. \u00a0The Trinity Covenant Church spent a very busy week experiencing God’s ministry in Argentina. \u00a0Thank you guys! \u00a0It also began the ramping up for Acts 29. Acts29.global<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Check it out! \u00a0Look up Acts 29 in your bible……. jajaj …… The Story Continues… It is our chapter to write. \u00a0I was so blessed to be one the school directors for the Chile\/Argentina School. \u00a0An amazing time of watching God work in the lives of youth and being able to facilitate the logistics. \u00a0This is a huge ministry that I am looking forward to future opportunities! \u00a0However, 1\/2 way through our time in Argentina, we were hit with COVID lockdowns. \u00a0It was a frantic few days of getting Serve Global staff back to the USA and then the students back to their respective countries before borders closed. \u00a0Sharing about this school could be a long newsletter in itself and I would love to share further detail about it with you, if you are interested. I am thankful for the work of all the leaders involved and while we were sad to end the school so soon and sudden; there is joy in the continued friendships and whatsapps that I see among everyone. \u00a0There is joy is all that God did in that short time.<\/p>\n


\nCOVID 19 in Argentina – This was termed ‘quarentina\u00a0in Argentina’ by Lisa Holmlund who was in Argentina as part of the Merge Global Immersion program. Never a dull moment in my apartment! \u00a0We experienced months of strict lockdown, restricted travel and movement, no school for the kids – all by WhatsApp and Zoom; no congregating; no sharing mate, meals or hugs. \u00a0 How we did ministry quickly changed and we had to be flexible and creative at times. \u00a0Churches still had services and studies by zoom or WhatsApp. \u00a0I would say that youth are more connected now since they have done a weekly zoom meeting; not just with their own church but open to all of Argentina. \u00a0Even youth from Chile, Ecuador and Sweden have joined in. \u00a0And vice versa for Argentine youth. \u00a0Guest speakers were easier to access as well. \u00a0A benefit to no travel. But for a country so extroverted and family centered; there were obvious uncomfortable moments when I met someone at the supermarket and we couldn’t embrace. \u00a0Yes, we lost a few members to COVID, but there were also several who recovered. \u00a0Bariloche had one of it’s best snow years at a time when tourism and everything was shut down. \u00a0I was blessed to do a lot of driving for people during this winter season. \u00a0Being a Kootenay Canadian girl that loves to drive in the snow has it’s advantages, what can I say. \u00a0While we were all restricted in movement and what we could do; it also seemed we were even busier being connected to everyone by WhatsApp. \u00a0For myself, it allowed deeper relationships to develop in all churches. \u00a0I couldn’t travel to serve with them; but I could work on WhatsApp and together we shared messages of encouragement, studies, devotions, and prayer chains.<\/p>\n

Personally there were moments of frustration and grief; and moments of joy and a true peace.\u00a0I reflected more on my ministry, my own spiritual growth and self care. A new ministry opportunity arose from it. \u00a0To provide a retreat centre, or at least a space where Pastors and leaders can truly rest and recharge. \u00a0I am so thankful for all who have and are walking with me in this life. I came to a crossroads of accepting a life only in ministry, or accepting a life of joy, free from guilt and grief that my best friend wasn’t where I felt he should be; a life that ministry is woven into.\u00a0\u00a0A future unknown, the next stage of this race, that I have committed to. I have accepted this new life, I continue to walk faithfully where I am led, trusting and knowing that all is prepared, and I only have to obey. I have the choice, the decision, and the privilege to obey and to allow others to see how God works, prepares the way, uses our trials and our victories for good and great. \u00a0I can look back and see the big and small details, the paintbrush strokes of the Father, the master creator. \u00a0Events that happened to allow other things to be accomplished are made clearer. \u00a0I am thankful. I am grateful. I am joyful. \u00a0I am reminded of 1Peter1:6. \u00a0So be truly glad, there IS wonderful joy ahead, although you have to face many trial for a while. \u00a0I know that the trials aren’t over. \u00a0But I know that there IS joy. And 1John 4:18 .. there is No fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment… And I am not afraid because I know that God is with me; He is guiding me; and He has amazing plans far greater than I could ever imagine. And I know that Max is celebrating in everything.<\/p>\n

I want to ask you again. What are you grateful for, what are you joyful for? \u00a0Can you name three things you are thankful for that only happened because of something else;\u00a0both of which you had no control over? \u00a0Where are you being challenged, pulled out of your conform zone? \u00a0Let go<\/strong> and experience something greater then you could ever have imagined! \u00a0Share your responses so others can see how Christ has been present.<\/p>\n

I am also grateful, and joyful for this next phase of life. \u00a0A life that involves a home in Argentina. \u00a0Yes, space for you to stay when you come to experience Argentina. \u00a0I am grateful for safe travels and the ability to visit Canada. \u00a0Again, another long story for this. \u00a0I am here right now and the original plan was that after some time of rest and renewal; I would visit churches. \u00a0Well… God has a funny sense of humour. \u00a0I left Argentina during lockdown, they then began to open up more and more, and Canada began to go into lockdown and more and more restrictions. \u00a0I’m really learning about rest and self care and enjoying life. \u00a0I can honestly tell you that I enjoyed Christmas this year, and I am looking forward to celebrating Christmas 2021, in a decorated house.<\/p>\n

I would love to zoom, Skype or have a call with you! \u00a0Please contact me and we can arrange something. \u00a0I am excited to share that God still, very strongly and firmly, calls me to serve him in Argentina. \u00a0My new home. \u00a0The current plan is to return home to Bariloche, Argentina at the end of February 2021. \u00a0Ministry there will continue to evolve; as does everything in South America! \u00a0My main focus will be working with the youth and ladies groups. \u00a0English classes. \u00a0Healthy cooking classes and agriculture. \u00a0Facilitating logistics of events as they are allowed; Acts29. \u00a0And of course the ministry of just being present with people; that’s a given.<\/p>\n

I am so blessed and humbled by daily conversations with friends in Argentina, who are waiting eagerly for my return. \u00a0True family that have completed embraced me and I know that I am their family too. \u00a0I’ve been told that I have to celebrate my birthday there; at home; with them.<\/p>\n

For a return in February 2021, we are praying for open borders, while I have my DNI (Argentine document) there is paperwork we can’t complete because of closed offices. \u00a0I am organizing the shipping of my KLR motorbike and other items that will come home with me. \u00a0A new 5 year budget is being completed. \u00a0So as long as everything falls into place with borders, travel, fundraising and the unknowns that are sure to pop up; I’ll be living in Argentina, serving our God, and experiencing a life of exciting adventure by March 2021.<\/p>\n

I would also like to ask you all to prayerfully consider financially supporting God’s Kingdom work in Argentina. \u00a0For those of you already supporting, would you extend your commitment of support? \u00a0Monthly, annual and one time donations are all a huge blessing in this work. \u00a0Thank you, these words seems so insignificant to what I actually feel. \u00a0Thank you for partnering with me; for allowing this work to continue and expand.<\/p>\n

Thank you all for your prayers and support. \u00a0I have been encouraged, uplifted and affirmed in my calling to serve in Argentina. \u00a0I am grateful for the texts, notes and emails of encouragement; and sharing about your lives back here. \u00a0Thank you for taking those moments to send off a word to me. \u00a0Or to any missionary. \u00a0It is so very important that we are reminded of those praying for us.<\/p>\n

Blessings to all of you! \u00a0I wish you all a Happy New Year and God’s Blessings for 2021! \u00a0May we experience the hope and peace that He has for us. \u00a0This hope and pease that we can’t fully explain. \u00a0I know I can’t explain this peace I have in my heart now; but I know it’s there.<\/p>\n
