June means a lot of things here at the YMI office. June means busy schedules, traveling, and lots of people in and out. June means our first teams head out abroad. June means that summer has officially begun. June means fundraising events and sign ups for 2014 teams. June means running a mile a minute and coming up for air when necessary.
This will be my first summer with YMI. I've been told this is the craziest time of the year, but I have not yet lived in the craziness. So, I am embracing it, running with it and looking forward to the hustle and bustle of being on board with an amazing organization through our busiest ministry season!
Upcoming Events:
Night out at the Rainier's Game - June 28
YMI Experience Day - June 29
Praises:
> Gene, our Director of Ministry just got back safely from a pre-trip to Egypt, where he scouted out ministry for the team once they are there.
> Brian just returned to the office after a week of much needed vacation with his family. It is so nice to have a full-staff in the office--I really enjoy the people I work with.
> We had our first sports camp training over the weekend with a group of Junior High students who are preparing for a local outreach at the end of this month. It went great! They learned how to share their testimony, how to share the Gospel and how to use sports as a tool for ministry.
Prayers:
> We still need to find a host home for a team who is launching out of Los Angeles. Our contacts down there are limited as far as host homes go. If you know anyone who lives close to LAX who might be interested in hosting a team, please email me at morgann@ymimissions.org
> Continue to pray that Nathan and I will see fruit of our raising support - we still need to cover the last 25% of our monthly need.
> Pray that our staff is able to stay healthy during these next really busy weeks of the summer!
