Let me tell you what the deal is : )

Dear Friends and Family!

How exciting to be writing you all again! It feels like a long time since I have had the opportunity to catch up with everyone! Many of you have heard I am headed on another adventure! After spending a wonderful year in Minnesota getting to know my roots and sharpening my nursing skills God has opened up an opportunity to work in Alaska at Cross Roads Medical Center for the winter.

Cross Road Medical Center (CRMC) is a not-for-profit Christian Community Health Center serving the residents of South Central Alaska. For over 50 years, CRMC has been the only MD level provider of health care for an area that is roughly the size of Ohio. CRMC began as Faith Hospital in 1956 as the medical ministry of Central Alaska Missions, later to become SEND International of Alaska. They provide Family Practice, Emergent care, Extended Stay, and Community Outreach services. If you want to know more there is information on their website http://www.crossroadmc.org/.

Please pray for me as I head up to Alaska! Wherever God is at work so is our enemy. Pray that I will adjust well to living and working there. They will be training me in trauma nursing pray that I will remember my training and respond quickly and effectively to medical emergencies. Pray that I will be a compassionate and effective minister to the people. Pray that God will prepare people to be ministered to. Pray that I will be able to get involved in the community and make friends that I would be protected from homesickness.

I am going to start an email list to update people on prayer needs. Please let me know if you want to be included in the email list. I will also try to send out a letter with my parents prayer letters to keep everybody updated on “news” and prayer needs.

Thank you for all your support! God Bless!
