I have finally made the big move to northern Virginia, and wow is it different than West Virginia! I'm experiencing a little bit of culture shock, but I feel like God prepared my heart for it. Everything is so different, and I'm going to have to learn to drive differently! Haha!
God provided us with an apartment! Praises! It was last minute, buy hey God is rarely early, but He's always on time! We actually filled out the paper work Monday before training and were told it would take 3-5 days to hear back because they would have to run a credit check. We told the group at training the housing issues we were experiencing (and that's a whole different story!), and they prayed for us multiple times. We heard back that we got the apartment the next day! What a relief! I moved in on Saturday, and the other girls moved in Sunday. Our apartment is in a great location, and we're already feeling at home in it. God has truly blessed us.
As for ministry, we have had two full days of meetings with our team. School hasn't started yet, so we're doing a lot of planning and prayer for direction. Our team is great, and we have a very clear vision of what we would like to see happen this semester. Our team consists of six people, five women and one man. We are praying that God would raise up student leaders on two campuses, and we would be a recognized student organization. Since these universities are private, there are different rules, and we're experiencing some struggles trying to get on campus at the beginning of the school year since it is the most crucial time.
A lot is unknown at this point, and we're being forced to rely on the Lord which is great! Please pray for direction and the ability to get on campus to start gathering Christians and sharing the Gospel!
