Our Trip to Jordan

Well, it won't be long now. My husband, myself and another ministry couple are leaving for Amman, Jordan this coming weekend. I already told you a little about this upcoming trip in an earlier posting, but I wanted to mention it again so you will pray for us that God's Word would be an encouragement to all we meet with. I am excited for this opportunity to partner with Arab Woman Today! I love the Jordanian people and especially Arab Woman Today! The Greater Reach team has been hard at work preparing for this conference, and we stand on tip toe to see what God will do through us.

Irene Marco has a word for you

I met Kristin when my husband was in seminary and she was the Dean of Women there. She helped me see who I was in God's eyes and that he had a call on my life. God's call is so much more than being a wife or mother, though those two roles are really important and strategic. But Kristin's ministry has caused me to really seek God's path for my whole life, helping we to look further out instead of just focusing on my current tasks and trials.My friend Kristin is rock solid in God's Word and has a gift to speak living truth into a situation. She is a person that sees the importance of accountability and community. I have watched her as the wife of successful pastor navigate well the ups and downs of ministry life. And no matter how difficult her life experiences have been in the past, she has allowed God to use them to build her into the woman he wants her to be.

Finally, she and Greater Reach gave me a global perspective on God's plan and role for women. Before I met Kristin I never really thought about other women in the world and the struggles and issues they face. If you want to move past the typical women's ministry and become empowered to reach for God's best then this is the ministry for you!
