Hospitality of the Nations: Hear from a team member

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.

Hear from a team member

Heather was one of my fellow team members this summer on the trip to Sierra Leone. She has willingly shared about her experience and the impact it had on her. If you are interested in going on a Venture trip, click here!

My visit to Sierra Leone has been my greatest gift and achievement. The gift of "self" that the kids have given to me and I to them is incomparable to anything that could be aquired. During this venture, I was overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit at the hands of these children and with nothing to offer they have demonstrated to us Faith, Hope and Love, which are everything meaningful in this life! I treasure the days I spent at the COTN compound and am ever grateful for the opportunity to have served on this mission with COTN.
