PICTURES... Here's some pictures of my last 3 months. Health Care Gospel- teaching the class about Breast Care, teaching the class about drinking 8 cups of clean water a day, making baby hats for after deliveries, car washes, breakfast Dr. Panter (who taught last week on primary health care, and shared stories about spending a day with Mother Teresa) urine testing, and class times. I have really enjoyed my time here in Australia, it has been such an amazing gift. I've learned alot. I leave on Saturday for North Africa, and even though I'm very excited to go, I will be sad to leave this place. I've very happily made it home these past three months. But thank you Lord for what's to come.

GOD IS GOOD...Last week we needed $32,000 AU for our trip to Northern Africa and India. Then, in just a few days we saw ALL OF IT come in! Praise God. It was incredible. We prayed and prayed and prayed for weeks that it would all be in by September 6th. On Sep. 5th we still needed $19,000 AU, then by that night we had all but $2,400. Which just so happened to be how much we made doing 4 car washes. It was a few weeks ago that someone on our team said they felt like we were not only going to get all of the money in by the night of the 5th, but also that we would celebrate with Indian food. So my school leader thought of some random Indian food restarant, went there, asked the owner to donate some food, and came home with loads of delicious Indian food. It was, to say the least, AMAZING. I just laughed, and cried, and was utterly amazed by the love and goodness of God. Here's some pictures of us celebrating...

FRIENDS...
I am just about finished with my three month stay in Australia. Now we're getting ready to leave in three weeks to do mother and child health care in Northern Africa and India for nine months. We have a passion to see Jesus brought to these nations, and all that He comes with Him: justice, peace, love and life. We want to see an end to Female Genital Mutilation. An end to child marriages, human trafficing, sex-selected abortions, gendercide, honour killings... We want to see women and children valued as God values them. We will be doing this practically by brining education, and clinics, teaching on proper antenatal care, nutrition, medical procedures, and prevetion of illness. Embracing the beauty of a culture, the beauty of a nation, empowering them, educating them.
Freely I have recieved, freely I give.
My team is still in need of around $7,000 AU. Please, if you can, and if you'd like, partner with us.
Injustice is not alright. It's not alright with me, and it's not alright with the God I serve. I serve a mighty powerful amazing God. Mighty to save. If you will, help us get there. Bring hope, life, peace, healing, restoration.
I love you guys. I really do.
God bless you.

WEEK TEN... I can hardly believe so much time has already passed. It's only three weeks till I leave for Northern Africa. That is wild. Some days I realize what I'm actually doing, and I almost loose my breath. Last week we had lectures on "Fear of the Lord". It was nice to have a break from all the female parts, and medical terms; however, the week was not an easy one. Even though it was a struggle, and I was forced to look at areas in my life where I definitely lack fear of the Lord, it was so good. I came out of it really thankful for revelation. About what fear of God is, simply allowing your love for God override your love for sin. Or in lesser words, a hatred of sin. All in all, realizing how worthy God is. Of my life, of my heart, of my time... He's so close. Such an intimate God. Sometimes my mind is just blown.
Here's some random pictures, one for my mom, a few from our feild trip to st john's hospital... my life in Western Australia. How I've grown to love it.
