Pohnpei,
Micronesia
Hello Friends & Family!
I’m very excited to announce that I am starting my
journey as a long term missionary in 2 months! This has been my heart’s desire
for over 10 years and this dream is now my reality. I’ll be joining Iris
Ministries in Pohnpei, Micronesia for the first ever Level 2 Harvest School.
This is a 9 week training course packed full of exciting opportunities to bring
Jesus to the South Pacific. From there I’ll be sent out with other laid down
lovers of Jesus to the darkest places in the world to see Gods love and transforming
power released all over the earth.
In 2011, while I was in Pemba, Mozambique, the Lord began
to speak to me about Asia. I knew God called me to the Nations, but I always
thought my home would be in Africa. I was shocked at first, even refused to
listen to what God speaking, but then my heart was overwhelmed with love I’d
only known for Africa and now Asia. It is hard to say no when your heart is
filled with that kind of love. So, I said yes.
I thought I was going to be leaving for Asia right away;
instead I found myself in Redding,
California. You see, God knows what you need and when you need it. His desire
is for us to lack nothing and He is such a good Father who will always prepare
you for what is ahead. I went through 1st Year Bethel School of
Supernatural Ministry and graduated in May! Part of what God has called me to
do in ministry is to reveal who we are as Sons and Daughters of God. Funny
enough, 1st year is all about identity and the Fathers love. He was
preparing my heart so tenderly, but heart surgery is painful at times too J
Pohnpei wasn’t even on my radar. Being launched as a long
term missionary was, but I thought that was going to be further down the
timeline of my life. However, God opens doors and loves to fulfill the desires
of our heart. In less than 24hrs of turning in my application for Level 2
Harvest School, I was accepted. I couldn’t believe it but knew with complete
certainty that this was exactly where I was supposed to be and what God was
preparing my heart for.
So here I am. I’m beginning a journey that is bound to be
full of the glory of God. Where I’ll go and who I’ll be with has not been
determined, yet. To let you into my heart and thought process…He has put Korea,
The Middle East, Israel and some other countries on my heart. I’ve also been
seeking God about becoming a midwife. I know of a Midwifery school in the
Philippines where I can do all my studying and I can be certified through The States.
These are all possibilities; I just don’t know which one it is at the moment.
I’d like to invite all of you in on this amazing journey!
I’ll be sending about newsletter updates at least once a month and if you know
anyone who would enjoy reading, please feel free to pass it along. I’d also
love to hear from you! I can’t always guarantee I’ll reply directly back
(mostly due to internet connection), but it is so encouraging and refreshing to
hear from friends and family.
This won’t be in every newsletter, but if you would like
to sow into the birth of this ministry there are several ways. Pray &
Prophecy – This is always appreciated and needed. It you have a prayer or
prophetic word, please don’t hesitate to send it to me J Financially – Paypal.com is
an option as well as sending me money directly. You can also give money to my
tuition through irismin.org. There is a bit of process if you want to go
through the Iris Ministry website. You’ll have to let me know if this is the
route you choose to give, but it’s easy to walk you through the process.
Thank you for walking this journey with me and
continually showing your love and support. I can’t wait to see what lies ahead!
Blessings!
Jessica
