So I just thought I'd post a little update on how things are going. I attended Pre-Feild Orientation a little over a week ago...and oh my goodness was it amazing! It provided me with that second wind that I was in desperate need of. It was great meeting new friends that I share a common goal and purpose with. It was a week full of training for the mission field and meeting and hearing other missionaries stories (which I loved...I love hearing how God has brought people to where they are today).
Saturday I got to be a part of an outreach that Hebrew's Ministry and Grand Assembly put on in Arcadia. They allowed me to set up a booth to sale my scarves to raise money for my move to Germany (I raised $206...AMAZING!). The best part was getting to talk to a couple a girls about ministry. One young girl told me how she felt called to be a missionary...it made my heart very happy! It was a nice little reminder of why I do what I do.
This Sunday I get to speak at my first service! I'm so excited to get to share my heart with them and the word that God has placed on my heart for them.
Financially I have raised $550 of the $3,537 monthly commitment budget and $4,061 of the $25,300 cash donation budget. My goal is still to leave in June and I believe that God can and will meet this financial need.
The team is growing almost daily with prayer and financial partners. I would ask that you would consider joining the team, too. I'm well aware that I can't do this on my own, and honestly I don't want to. Just like the church is made up of a body, so is missions. It takes multiple people to make things happen.
You can donate online at https://giving.ag.org from there enter in Shea Fryer and you'll be good to go.
If you would like more info on the church I will be working at in Stuttgart, Germany check out www.smcchurch.net.
