The Blessing COLOMBIA Was.

It is coming close to the end of January and so much has been happening God is doing so much in our team. First of all we are growing a bit. We are now 28 people.

I guess the last time I sent an update was while we were still in Bogota.
After we left Bogota we were making our way to Cali and made a stop in a small town called Anoliama. A church there had contacted us asking if we would be willing to come for a few days and they had accommodations for us. We felt the Lord say to stay there so we did. When we arrive we are greeted at a church with lunch, which is always a plus. The pastors of the church are very happy we are there and tell us that the church took up an offering for us so all of our meals and accommodations would be for free during our stay. God is so good to us. While in Anoliama we ministered in the church holding a youth service one night. We learned that the youth group had disintegrated after it was discovered that the youth pastor was a pronounced witch and had been cursing the youth. So we invited them all to come back and we blessed them and prayed over them and really saw God move. Later on in the week we held another service and ministered in a senior citizens home where we stayed. The whole team was very blessed by our time there.
As our team has been traveling God has been doing a lot in each of our hearts and one thing I asked for before I embarked on this journey was for God to teach me how to make the ministry He has for me a lifestyle and not just a job or a hobby. I can see God doing that. We no longer are just ministering when there is ministry time set up. It is becoming a lifestyle and as we are going a long I am slowly understanding how this is going to apply in my everyday life where ever God sends me or has me do!

We left Anoliama on a Sunday and headed for Cali. A girl from Cali, Maria, who was in Harvest school 14 (Iris Ministries mission school) and has been with us for most of our time here in Colombia, offered to let us stay at her families farm on a coffee plantation in out skirts of Armenia a little over half way to Cali from Bogota. When we arrive we are all exhausted from driving for about 15 hours that day, but are greeted by Maria and her family (who are not Christians). So we sat up camp some people slept in tents and we had the pop-ups. On the farm there are lots of cows they milk (these cows taught me a lot about patients every morning when they would be getting milked and feed at 5am making noises I was sure were some kind of dinosaur or some other extinct animal), and horses that they raise for dancing (kind of like Tennessee walking horses) and its all in the mountains on a coffee plantation. The next day Maria's family leaves after we all have a huge barbeque together and we are left with the most amazing house. We stayed again in a place for free! We stayed there for 5 days and ministered in whatever way God lead. The team as a whole has also come to the conclusion that ministering is not just for the people we are driving to. We have to continually be ministering to each other blessing each other and ourselves. Because only out of a place of intimacy with God can we minister to others!
We did get the opportunity to drive into the city of Armenia one night and minister to the homeless and really anyone we ran into while walking on the streets. We met some of the most amazing people, but it was very heart breaking to see this huge spirit of homosexuality that has taken captive of the city. I mean blatant homosexuality. Almost every homeless man we talked to and every teenage boy we passed was gay. My heart really broke for this city and for one little boy imparticular He was 8 years old and had no family. He just lived on the streets begging for money. I wanted so bad to take him home with me. One man we met who was homeless a few people in my group began to pray for him and he was so blessed and told us that it was his birthday and he excepted Jesus into his heart. We had a really sweet time that night. While in Armenia I was able to milk a cow, go horse back riding in the mountains, and spend a lot of good time with Jesus in some fruit trees by a private pool over looking all of the coffee plantation. The places God has brought us to have literally been amazing.
On Friday the 13th we left for Cali for real this time! It was about a 7 or 8 hour drive and I slept basically the entire way. We arrive at the church in Cali where our contact is and are greeted by the pastor and he leads us to where we are staying for the next 10 days. I think this is the longest we have stayed in place in a long time, but that was just a side note. The pastor tells us where we are staying is a farm and everything is taken care of including 3 meals a day. So once again God's favor is just lavished on us! When We arrive it is no farm.... Not like you would imagine. With over 109 beds to choose from, our own pool, the most incredible view of the mountains and city, and plenty of space to get alone time (which is crucial for a group like ours) the team couldn't help, but feel the tangible love and favor of God manifesting on us.
That next Sunday we held the service at the very large church and it was amazing first service we spoke and had a giant fire tunnel and second service we just followed Holy spirit and one of our brothers, Ben, did most of the speaking and It was amazing Holy Spirit fell and the entire church was so blessed. Later on in the week we had different ministry opportunities like women's jail, a village about a 4 hour bus ride away and ministering to prostitutes and transvestites at night. I felt the okay to stay in and spend lots of time with Jesus and really just get filled up. I did however go on Thursday night to Minister in the streets of Cali to the prostitutes and transvestites and it was such an amazing time. The women and men really let us bless them and love one them the way Jesus would. Also met some awesome homeless people in the neighborhood. Like Oliver. He was born in Colombia, but raised in the US his mother is American and he later moved back to Colombia because of his heroin addiction. We talked with Oliver for a long while and prayed for him. At one point we told him Jesus loved him so much and he responded with “well you know I am a heroin addict.” to which we were able to reply with more love and told him it doesn't matter in the least bit. He teared up a lot and went on his way, but God surely has something in store for him and I will continue to always pray for him!
We were supposed to leave Saturday the 26th however, we had an accident one day in OverFlow (our Suburban) involving a slippery down hill road and a fence. Needless to say we were delayed until the 30th of January. Giving us plenty of time to really rest as well as get most of the many vehicle problems we had on all the vehicles taken care of.
During the week we were able to meet with Ruth … the wife of Cali, Colombia's biggest revivalist. Her husband Julio, was martyred in 1995 when 2 hit men shot him on the street, but his ministry is stilled carried on by his wife and 2 daughters. Ruth came to the house we were staying at and gave us a question and answer time as well as asked us to speak at her church that night. So we were more than happy to do so. At the service, which was originally supposed to be a seminar on Marriage and sex, we worshiped and shared and Holy Spirit really fell I got to share a word God was giving me about the church and at the end Ruth and her team prayed for us and our journey. Giving us 50 copies of a new book that her husband had started before he had died and it just got finished she gave us a whole box full and told us we could sell the copies and use the money to help fund our journey.
The pastor of the church. Pastor Diego, is one of the kindest men I have ever met his family is so beautiful and he reminded me a lot of my own Pastor. Which really made me miss home a whole lot. Their family blessed us in so many ways. Financially and spiritually. Along with Maria Claira who owned the retreat house we stayed in and lived in a beautiful little cottage right beside it with her family. Colombians are some of the most gracious, loving, and kind people I have ever met.
During our few days of rest me and another girl on the team began to read Redeeming Love by Francien Rivers out loud to one another. At times we would have 4 and 5 other girls who had already ready it listening. We had some really nice bonding time. I read the majority of the 500 page book out loud and loved every second of it.
We found out the day we left that 3 days earlier 4 gorillas (I know this isn't the correct spelling, but I can't remember), the rebel group, had been captured in the river just below the hill, a miles walk, from where we had been staying. Another testimony of God's amazing protection over us.
Colombia was amazing in general and we had so much fun in the Salsa capital, but I think we all knew it was about our time to head out to our next destination. I am sure I can speak for the whole team when I say Colombia will be missed very much and some of us will be back within the years to come.
We are finally in Ecuador! After waiting for 4 days not knowing when we were actually going to leave, 2 days of travel and one of the easiest border crossings we have ever experienced we made it at 2am February 1, 2012. We had some trouble along the way like the brake lights on the pop up not working the morning we got up to leave, then spending the night in a motel 2 hours from the border. Getting up to leave and the Axle breaking on the other pop-up delaying us about 6hours, and getting a little lost part of the way. However, we made it! And God is amazing I can not wait to see what God has in store for us in the next 2-3 weeks here in Ecuador. Lots of unreached people group outreaches in the jungles is what we are all hoping for. Team as a whole is getting a little antsy being in so much city. Also its nice that the currency is U.S. Dollar.
Miss you family and friends. I hope you are all well. Thank you so much for all your prayers and support! They are very much needed and are so important. Just keep building up your store houses in heaven! As for me God has been doing a lot in my heart the past week and a lot of healing has come to my heart in areas I didn't even know I needed. The past 2 weeks were very emotional, but God used them for the best and I feel something even greater is coming in me and my heart. So please keep your prayers coming.

We leave on Friday for the Jungles of Ecuador! We want to go as deep into the jungles as possible to the villages that have never been reached! Going to a lot of bus rides, long boat rides, and a lot of walking.

So much Love, and So many blessings,

Rachael Michelle

Leaving for Ecuador

Hello everyone! I wish this was a real update. However, my computer with my really good and long update already written has decided to not turn on anymore! Please pray for I am very much frustrated by it.
Well we are still in Colombia, but probably only until tomorrow or the next day. Over Flow, our suburban, was in a little bit of an accident so that and a few other things that are broken in the other vehicles are being fixed that is the only thing keeping us where we are at this point. Colombia has been amazing! God is so Good and has provided so much for us! Another donation of about $600.00 dollars was given to the team. We are so blessed with all the free housing and food we have been receiving and God just wants to lavish even more of His favor on us. The team is growing a lot. We are now about 30 people more or less we still have one more person joining and a few others leaving....
Thank you for all your prayers and support they are surely needed and mean so much! I will try and get my computer up and working again in order to post a real update very soon!

Love, Rachael Michelle

All Things New!

Happy New Year everyone. First of all I want you all to know How much I miss all of you!

So far God has been doing some amazing things. I have come to find out living the way this team lives, like gypsies, can be very tiring. It is amazing the amount of grace God gives us. Constantly moving from one place to another never really settling anywhere, unpacking and packing is not always the easiest thing, but the purpose of the journey and the promise of pieces of our destinies being fulfilled is worth it all! I am sure I have said this before, but I am so impressed with how we all get along like such a family. I feel like this group of people from all over the world have been brought together to bring a new representation of the church and how the Church is meant to function.

Since Crossing into South America, I am pretty sure the whole team will agree with me on this, the sense of a major shift in the atmosphere has taken place. The original heart of the trip was South America, but because we needed to drive Central America was a must. While in Central America many of the team had said it felt more as if we were plowing the ground for the next group of people God would send to plant the seeds. I really feel in the spirit that because of that there is going to be an abundance of grace and favor while in South America. There seems to be a common theme through the team we heard the call and were the ones to say yes to it. No one really has any idea what is going to happen and what isn't. I guess that is what you get when you say yes to following the Holy Spirit! Everyday On this trip I can feel Jesus breaking my heart more and more for the Latin American people. There are moments where I will just sit and can not help, but weep because all I can feel is the fiery love of God for these people! I am becoming more and more aware of how that is going to be happening every place I go to even after this year or more of this trip.

So far in Colombia we stayed in Cartagena at a YWAM base for about a week. A few of us went to a village the second and God definitely showed up! We sat under a tree and started praying/talking about what we were going to do in the village when two kids show up just wanting us to buy them ice cream. So instead we ask if we could pray for them (a boy and a girl 9 and 10 years of age). They said yes and Holy spirit fell. The little boy gets blasted by the Holy spirit and the little girl starts weeping. They followed us for the rest of the day. Next we just walked and started interceding for the village. We stopped just at a few houses and prayed with the people. Almost every person that came into our path excepted Jesus into their hearts! We stopped at this restaurant hut thing where we told everyone to go get the people of the village we wanted to tell them something! About 40 people showed up and one of the guys on our team, Addison, shared his testimony and spoke about the goodness of God and how He alone can change your life. He then asked that if anyone wanted to truly give their life over to God to stand and repeat the sinners prayer after him. The entire restaurant stood and gave their life. It was so incredible. We prayed for so many people that day and saw so many amazing things. A woman got healed of kidney stones and we prayed for a girl whose mother had died a month earlier and someone had come to her house and told her people from another country were going to come and pray for her, And here we come a week later! Haha Divine appointments are the best. God did so much that day! We had a great Christmas. Food, Family, and God. Not particularly in that order what else do you need for the holidays? After we left Cartagena we had 2 intense days of driving all day long staying where ever we can make camp for the night. Finally get to Bogota and we had made plans to stay at the YWAM base here for a night or so because it was new years, but it was just to expensive and not enough room for us and out vehicles, I am not sure people realize how big of a caravan we are. 25 people, 5 vehicles, 2 of them being huge RV's, 2 trailers on the backs of a suburban and a durango, and the smaller car. Trying to maneuver through Bogota and finding a place to park just wasn't working. So we made our way up the mountain where a guy let us park in his restaurant . We made camp, cooked supper and quickly realized it was going to be a very cold night complete opposite of what we just drove out of. We had a great new years together celebrated and then went to bed where no one actually slept because of the cold. Since we were only allowed one night we had breakfast and made our way further down the mountain where God basically handed us a place to stay for the next 4 nights. $5 a person per night, room for our vehicles, and the city is only a 20 minute drive away! God is good all the time! We got the opportunity to climb a mountain an hour and half hike with very thin air to be honest didn't think I was going to make it a few times, but with the grace of God made it to the top. I have never been in that high of an altitude without being in an airplane. From the top we were able to see all of Bogota. You don't realize it, but it is a massive city! We prayed for the city that God's fire would pour out over it and is presence would be made known and the people would feel a tangible wave of God's love for them. It was an awesome time. The walk down was much easier though! After here who knows what else God has in store!

As we go along it is getting harder and harder to keep up with this blog thing, but I want you all to know what is going on what God is doing because it is amazing! God is doing so much more than I can remember to write about. The little things that He does throughout just one day add up and I am overwhelmed and blown away by His abundant goodness. It is really incredible! I can not express enough to you all what it means to truly hand over your life to God. Just in the past couple of months on this trip my life will never be the same. I still have no clue what God has in store for me on this trip, but I can feel it in the deepest parts of my spirits my life will never be the same because of it I have learned so much and am growing every day more and more. The cry of my heart is “to always be found on a mission about my Father's business” whatever that looks like! When I was praying the other day I was asking God for more. More relationship, more revelation, more hunger, more passion. I heard God say go back to the beginning. Then I saw the New testament. So I started reading and I quickly realized most of what I was reading I knew in my head, but not in my heart. I believe He is bringing me and many others into a season of refining. A season of revelations being moved from our heads to our hearts!
I can not believe it is already 2012. Whenever I say the 2012 my heart jumps! In my spirit I can feel things are about to happen! These are exciting times people! Get prepared. It is never to late!

A lot happened in Panama We saw so many healings and people just being captured by the love of God. One quick story... One night we went into Panama City to on of the most dangerous areas to an apartment building. As we walked inside we had no clue what we were doing, but there were kids everywhere so we played and blessed the kids and began to pray for many of the people. That night a woman who had not walked in a year because of TB got out of her wheelchair and walked by herself! We heard later on that week that she was still out of her wheelchair! Yes God! Another man that a bunch of the guys had prayed for said that, that next night he was planning on robbing a bank and He had a dream and he couldn't go through with it and he excepted Jesus into his heart just because of the dream He had!


Okay I am finished now! Thank you all so much for your support and prayers! You are truly investing directly into the Kingdom of God! I know and pray you will be blessed a hundred fold of what you have blessed me with!

Love and many blessings,
Rachael Michelle Singleton

Honor

So many of you got the email from my mom about praying for me and a few of my team members because we felt the call to cross the Darien gap. Going to all the unreached people groups and possibly encountering the Gorillas (rebel gang), but that is not even the worst part. The jungle is so thick and coming to the end of rainy season would just make it a lot worse. No one has crossed the Darien in a long time because of the rebel groups and other dangers. However, me and 3 others felt the call to go no matter what. The people in that area have to be reached. We had a lot of conflict and a strain was put on the unity our team carries. So we met and talked about it. The majority of the team feels it is the wrong time for us to go. Some of us disagree, but out of the respect of the team and wanting to honor them we are not going at this time. We still feel the call and the intense burden to reach these people and to plow the ground for future teams to go in, but we also feel some grace in staying. some feel more grace than others.... But I know God is stilled honored that we were willing to say yes to the call and are still very willing to go if He provides a way!

Me and my brother Breck are still praying about hitting the Colombia side of the Darien once the whole team actually gets into Colombia. which is a process in itself!

As you may have realized we are still in Panama. But God has given an amazing house to stay in as opposed to sleeping on pews and on the floor of a church far away from everything. The house is owned by a family who has a surfing ministry and built a house for surfers to come and stay and be ministered to. The house is so nice! Hot water, Wifi, Beds, ping-pong table, and a big kitchen. We feel so so so blessed as we wait for God to open a door for us to get to Colombia. Which has been a huge process.

I don't have time right now, but I will update you soon on all the incredibly amazing things God has been doing here! SO many healings and just amazing things!

Please keep me and my team family in your prayers through the Holidays as we are all missing our families, but finding community with each other!

Hope you all have amazing Holidays and I miss you all so much! Thank you all so much for your prayers and support!

LOve and many blessings,
Rachael Michelle

December.

Hello Friends and Family,

Sitting down and writing this blog seems to be a huge task. I am not sure what the last thing I actually wrote was, but I am sure it was while I was still in Nicaragua which seems forever ago. I have gotten to where I never know the actual day of the week they all just seem to run together.

The team and I left for Costa Rica (I wish I could tell you the date). We had a contact, but non of us felt the call to go there. Because of that we had no where to stay. For 3 days and 4 nights we stayed on Playa De Coco (Coco Beach). It was very beautiful even though we had no running water (other than the ocean), no electricity, and no toilet. SO we made one. A tarp and tree and a shovel that's all you need. The camp fires ever night and the cool breeze made it that much better. However I could have done without the tourist trap just around the corner making food buying so expensive! Also we learned about the 2^nd day in we were staying in one of the most dangerous places on the beach. 3 of our team members who were staying in one of the pop ups got a lot of valuable and necessary things stolen from them (computers, hard drives pictures, cameras, toiletries $2,000.00 worth of stuff between 3 people). It was all really difficult, but God gave them grace through through it. While in Costa Rica we stayed in another tourist area on the coast for one night because we left to late to make it to the border for Panama. We didn't do to much ministry while in Costa Rica besides the occasional person on the street, but I believe God gave the team and I that time to rest because we have a lot in store for us in Panama and in Colombia.

On thing I have been learning while on this trip is how God wants so much to partner with us opposed to just telling us what to do. While in the car one a driving day (which is where we are literally driving all day, hence the name) my car was listening to a message from Chris Valatton. At one point in the message Chris says something that God was saying to him and it struck me really hard. Jesus Said to him “what kind of friend would I be if we only did what I wanted to do.” When I heard that I had to quickly repent for the way I had been praying because I had been praying as if I was a slave not a friend of Jesus. Really striving when I prayed begging God to tell me what to do. When He already said go to Latin America and I said yes now He wants to partner with me and the team and some amazing things! That was a really cool nugget to receive.

The Panama border was hectic and crazy I think in total we were there about 7 hours waiting in line for our stamp in the passport, trying to get the cars insured, and inspected. Finally we made it though and hit the road again stopping for food and potting every once in a while. Trying to make it the whole 10hrs Just to put you into perspective what would normally take 7 hours takes us 10 because we are a huge caravan of cars and trailers) to the YWAM base in Panama City where we are staying. Needless to say New wine (our van camper) Broke down and we had to tow (and when I say tow I mean a rope hooked up to one of our other cars) it to the closest hotel we could find. The manager of the hotel we found was so sweet! He gave us and entire section of parking to let us set up camp and we only had to buy one room. The room was awesome and there was Hot water in the shower which was amazing! The hotel was beautiful and the food in the restaurant was great! The next morning We got all the cars fixed and headed to Panama city! We only got 2 flat tires along the way. We arrive at the YWAM base and we are sleeping in a church and the directors of this base are so nice and have so anticipated our arrival. I am so excited to see what God has in store for us here! It is just one of those places you can feel in the atmosphere God moving.

Where we are staying in Panama City is literally Is really cool it is literally about 50 feet from the Panama Canal. The YWAM base doesn't actually have a base yet, so we are sleeping on the floor in a little church. The past couple of days here have been amazing! Yesterday we went to one of the worst ghetto neighborhoods here in the city and God really showed up in one of the apartment buildings. There were about 30 kids we got to bless and play with. As well as a woman who has been in a wheel-chair for a year not able to walk without people holding her up got up and walked around the entire room by herself! She was crying and so was everyone else! Praise Jesus He is good! We held a service today and God really blessed a lot of the people. Later on in the week we will be ministering in mental hospitals, prisons, aids houses, and going and living with an indigenous tribe for a night!

Community living with the team for the most part has been very smooth and there isn't much conflict at all. We are like one huge family and we work as a unit. Anytime someone is down we pray for them anytime someone has a need people try and fill it. It is amazing how God can appoint 22 people (from 6 different nations so far) for something and they all come together, as diverse and I mean diverse as we are, and function as a unit. By no means at all is our family perfect, but everyone at least tries and has a learning spirit. I am so thankful for the amazing brothers and sisters He has given me. While driving we have walky-talkies to make communication easier between vehicles and every hour we switch off interceding for the team and the places we are going. It really is amazing how we all function together so well. I can honestly say every person on this team is needed in one way or another.

We plan to leave Panama within 4 or 5 days where we will be shipping ourselves and our vehicles across the Panama Canal into Colombia. Where we will be for a month (at least that is what I heard at one point, but everything changes constantly so no one ever knows what is happening).

Well I am not sure when I will have internet again! I hope everyone has amazing holiday times. I miss you all so much! Thank you to everyone who has been praying for me and supporting me! Please keep me and the team in your prayers! We really need all the prayer we can get. There is Continual opposition! But our God is Greater!

Much love and Many Blessings,

Rachael Michelle Singleton

P.S. Sorry I am being so bad about pictures! I had some up, but I am not sure if anyone else can see them? However, they are on facebook! At least ones from Nicaragua!

The Transition.

Dear Friends and Family

I have been with my Iris group almost a week. We are still in Nicaragua because one of our Rv's is getting its transmission fixed. We should be leaving first thing Friday morning. Susie and I moved out of the La Quinta base two nights ago (Tuesday Night) because we thought we were leaving Wednesday morning. It was a very difficult night. Having to say goodbye to all the kids, my friends, my house mama, Juanita. My heart still hurts for this place. However, I know God has so much more in store and He has told me that when it is time I can have any nation I want. He is such a good Daddy.

Emerging into team life has not been the easiest. There are so many of us and so many different ideas of what needs to happen that it all gets crazy at times. Almost like a giant game of telephone. Something gets said then gets passed through the group by the time it gets to the end it is very different from the original need or idea. Costa Rica is up next Then following is Panama where we will be crossing the Panama Canal. I am not sure what God has in store. The living situation is not so bad. Very crammed, but there is grace for everything. It will only make us closer in the end. The people in the group are amazing. So many different types of people with the most amazing gifts. God truly had his hand on appointing each person in this group. Sometimes I just sit and think about where I am in the world and what I am doing and How amazing God is that He chose me for this moment. I am so humbled and honored to be His daughter.

We Lost Valued members this week Serena, Victor, and Maria. They are being called to other places for the time! I am sad they are gone, but am so proud they are following the spirit!

I had a bit of a bad yesterday, only I am not sure why. I was on a beach with amazing people bouldering on some of the sweetest boulders right next to the ocean. But a church service at the Nueva Vida (another base within Mateo 5:16. Where the team has made camp) was going on and all I could think about the whole time was how badly I wanted to be here to see all my friends. It has been a very difficult last couple of days for me. I am ready to move on but the car issues are prolonging us being here. I am not sure what God is doing. Also having the team here as been hard on the ministry because they had such high expectations for us as a team that are not in line with what God has told us to do. I tried explaining this to Lynne and Glen, but I am not sure how it was received. I also believe that is partly why God sent me here ahead of the team. So have more time to convey the heart of Iris. So the ministry would not be left calloused toward Iris. I talked to some of the team members and they say it has been happening with almost all the contacts they have meet. The contacts have there own agenda and expectations for the team and that is not what God has guided us to do. So the contacts are left with a sour taste in there mouth. Please be praying for every contact we have from now on that they understand the heart of this trip and the heart of the team. Also be praying that our team is hearing correctly and only doing where Holy spirit leads! I hope all of you are well and are having great Holiday times with your family. Don't forget about me. I am really missing my family lately. I just hope I can get to where This team is family enough so I feel more part of the group. I love you all Please keep praying. And I pray blessings 100 fold back onto you! Thank you for all your support. I love you all!

A Very Rough Update!

Hola Family! Just for warning you this is going to be a very quick and rough blog.

Also there are dome photos on facebook under Nicaragua Album!

The team arrived 2 days ago. I didn't know what my emotions would be when they got here, but I was actually extremely excited and to my surprise felt I was ready to leave! I had prayed earlier in the week that if I was meant to go that He would make me ready and prepare my heart! And that He did! So much has been going on and I feel like I haven't has sufficient time to minister the way I want to, but absolutely feel now that I will get that opportunity to poor out the Love of God the the many people I will encounter! I never got to live with the old woman, but I did visit her often and bought her a radio so she could listen to sermons on Sundays. I have no Idea what God has in sore for me this coming season, but I definitely feel it will be to learn more so how to go with the flow! I have been very tired the past couple of days because God Woke me at 2:40am to pray so I did for the rest of the night. Then woke me up early this morning as well. We have a new member on our team joining from the Mateo 5:16 ministries named Addison. I am not sure what tomorrow will look like. Saying goodbye to all the kids. Full of lots of tears I am sure! God is good and I only want to do His will! Please continue praying for my health and the teams safety. Please also be praying for Mateo 5:16 ministries because they are not happy to see me go. They were hoping I would hear from God to stay with them and here at the ministry, but I have just not heard that yet. I am struggling with feeling a little bit of pressure because of that, but I will be having a chat with them as soon as possible! I love and Miss you all my family and Sorry if I am leaving anything out! My brain is way to scattered at the moment.

Blessings to you all! Happy Holidays. Sorry this was such a short update!

Love, Rachael Michelle
