Hospitality of the Nations: October 2010

KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog. You may be wondering why this is titled "Keep the dream alive" and I hope you are. Just this month, for the first time since I began working with COTN, I realized that after my paychecks this month I will be in the red - meaning, I will have a negative balance in my account because I do not have enough financial support coming in to cover my part time salary. You can see on the left how much I have monthly and how much I need total. That means I need another $565 per month committed. That's a lot! I know it can be done though.

I am praying, and will continue to do so, that God's will is done. I love being a part of this ministry and wish to continue here. Especially since I sit in the Dominican Republic as I write this. Maybe God is calling me away from COTN, and if so then I trust Him. I don't feel that calling though. I feel called to push through and get the funds raised that are needed.

(please keep reading in post "Keep the dream alive")

***If you are new to my blog, or new to COTN, please look in the righthand side bar for JANUARY 2010 posts "A Tidbit on COTN" and "A Glimpse at the Hospitality Program" to gain some background knowledge.

The Transition

Many of you have heard it.. COTN is undergoing a HUGE transition. Both internally and externally. Our underlying goals are three fold:
- To go deeper with our children
- To go deeper with our staff
- To go deeper with our partners

We are doing this in several different ways, and I'd love to share with you! Email me (jennadenard@cotni.org) if you are interested in meeting and hearing more about these exciting new topics:

- My new role on staff- I will continue my Hospitality work, as well as doing more resource collecting. In addition, I will be transitioning out of the Venture Admin and into a Venture Representative role where I work more directly with people who are taking a Venture trip.
- Our new structure
- Our two new countries! LIBERIA AND HAITI

Lastly, we now have individual staff pages on the website!
