Our constantly changing life has changed once again. 

I started my new job with Praying Pelican Missions last week. 

The job is kind of confusing even to me so I thought I would help explain it a little better!

The job consists of 3 main areas in which I will be spending my time. 

1. Mission Sales & Consulting

I will spend a majority of my time in the fall, winter, and early spring contacting churches who may be interested in joining us on a trip this year. I'll get to share with them about the heart of PPM. Who we are. What we do. I'll also be consulting with teams already scheduled for a trip. Finding what interests and strengths they as a team have for their trips. I'll also be reminding them of packing lists and any other questions they may have. 

2. Trip Leader

Now this is my favorite part of the job!! I'll be leading team on hand crafted mission trips for them. So I won't be doing the same thing every week. Some weeks we might be working on construction projects and sports ministry and the next I could be doing medical missions. Also as trip leader I'll be making sure that everything is taken care of for the group from lunch to when the right time to have a devotional is. 

3. Fundraising

This part will be the part I struggle with the most. It absolutely terrifies me to ask for support but I know that it must be done. So I will be keeping up with blogging in order to share with everyone what all our family is up to, where I'm leading trips, what Ella and Adam do while I'm gone and so forth. This is going to take a lot of faith in order for me to pursue but I know with prayer that Jesus can accomplish great things. 

So that about sums up what as of right now I think my job means. To be completely honest this could be all wrong. I mean I've only been working a week and so far just talked to a bunch of answering machines. If you ever have any questions feel free to let me know! 

Happy Tuesday!
