Our fearless leader Amanda wrote an encouraging blog for/about me… When I can figure out how to add the video I will post it here as well.
 

This
girl is important to me. You’ll notice that in the video above I say
that she gives great hugs…and that hugs are important to me-I think I
need to expound on this a bit…

 

Toya not only gives the best big hugs around, but she gives them at exactly
the right time. Perhaps you know the moment-those times where you’re
crying out for someone to just notice that something’s wrong but you
don’t want to say anything…she’s there. When you think you’re
escaping from everyone and are about to sit in your own
self-loathing…she’s there. I don’t know how many times she’s run me
down to wrap me in a warm hug and pray for me. Sometimes I don’t quite
know how she does it.

We
have this interesting relationship, Toya and I. She says I’m the one
that always makes her cry, and interestingly enough, she does the same
to me. There’s a heart connect and a God given love for each other that
we share. We’ve walked through some tough stuff in only a few short
months, and I know it’s not over. We’ve had too many times of pressing
in to this financial issue together to walk away in defeat. 

I know that Toya is called to be here.

I’m
looking to God for provision and I’m asking you to pray for my
sister. Exciting times are ahead for her. In just the short time she’s
been with us in ComLife, Toya’s learned that she’s defined by her
identity in Christ and not the role she plays. She used to be an Event
Planner and rubbed elbows with all kinds of hoity-toities with
money. Now that she’s pursuing God’s calling, she’s finding that the
value she found in her job is wasting away. But lets be clear-this
exuberant, loving, kind, creative, and hospitable woman IS valuable and
we need her…just like she needs us. …just like we need you.

Toya’s
got a charge from God to reach African American churches and mobilize
them for missions. She has a huge heart for Africa and wants to bring
church groups there to minister as well. There’s no stopping this
‘idea-machine’-she’s going places. Would you consider helping her on
her journey? She needs $3000 by June 1st to allow her to stay in
ComLife!
