"So what are you doing when you graduate?"

It has been ages since I have written any kind of blog, I think I was feeling like it wasn't really "me-ish" and I was over it. 

BUT here I am, writing a blog again. This is for a different reason though, not just for my own twenty-something-drama-queen self to write random musings.  Rather, it is because as of a few months ago, my life is going from Chicago to Leipzig.
So writing this is to keep informed the masses that I am not so great at keeping updated. And this is the first of those updates!
As of this summer, I am officially joining an organization called Josiah Venture to join them in their pursuit of the youth of Central and Eastern Europe. A pursuit that's sole goal is to point to Jesus Christ.
Currently I am finishing up my degree in Intercultural Studies at Moody Bible Institute. That will be complete in December 2014. After that, I will be continuing to live in Chicago and have a random job somewhere (those details are obviously on a back-burner at this time) as I continue to raise support and grow a team around me to join me as I join God in His pursuit of young people in Germany. My hope is to be on a plane for a life changing journey about a year from now!
This will be a place that will allow me to communicate what is going on in my journey to Leipzig. For now, this is all I have for you. If you would like to see a bit more you can do so here! It is the Josiah Venture website, here you can learn more about Josiah Venture as well as my teammates!
This summer I visited Leipzig, for the first time and it made all of this more of a reality for me, so I hope these will do the same for you! 

As I begin life in Leipzig, Germany my role within Josiah Venture will be to serve within a local church, and along with my team, establish a disciple- making ministry that reaches out to the youth of Leipzig. By way of the local church, I will make connections with high schools in the area and reach students through after school activities such as an English Club. Josiah Venture’s hope as well as my hope is that students would be integrated into the local church because we believe that this is where growth is cultivated and people encounter Christ.
