I love my job! Thanks for all of your support!

Well it has been awhile since I've last wrote. I need to get on that more often. Hopefully from now on it will be once a week. I hope everyone is doing well! I've updated the layout of my blog as you can see.

Life is continuing on. Getting to know people has been fun and enjoyable. Lately, it has been work, work, work. But I really like to work, work, work. Philip and I have been working on some ideas to advance the vision of Overland Missions which is always enjoyable, brainstorming... thinking out of the box... how we can better reach and engage more people, more effectively.

As I've posted in previous blogs, we desire to build a real-time tracking network to track the movements of missionaries to better analyze effectiveness and to document our generation's progress to pass the baton on to the next generation. We've been speaking with the developers at Rimrocked. Check it out. They have an active and passive tracking solution. We spoke with him a couple of times this past week and there was a very open dialogue.

In addition to that, I've been working on an update report for Joyce Meyer Ministries. Joyce Meyer has a humanitarian arm called Hand of Hope. They gave a substantial contribution to The LIFE Project, Overland Missions' humanitarian arm. So I just completed that document. With its template we can use it for other donors.

This past weekend Amethyst and I had an opportunity to speak at her church about our future vision. We spoke on how we are raising up a team of over 200 prayer and financial partners to support us when we leave in two years to pilot a sector in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), specifically in the north-east part near Goma. This area was hit hardest with war, disease and famine. The Rwandan conflict in the mid-1990's spilled over to this area. This area has known nothing but devastation and corruption. We are excited to be deployed in two years.

I hope everyone is doing well and I will try to keep everyone updated on more of a consistent basis. Blessings!

Andrew and Amethyst
