Please Pray!

Today Robbie and I got an email from Krista Wallace, director of Doulos Discovery School. She asked if we could come down 2 weeks earlier than we had planned, to give Rob some experience with a work team that will be there the week of July 16-23. We both think that this will be a great opportunity for Rob to see what is required for hosting a work team, and to better prepare him for his role as Workteam Host.

This also means that we need to mentally prepare for leaving mid-July! Our last day of school on our contracts is June 11, which means we will have about one month (less for Rob) to switch gears and get everything taken care of. Prior to our commitment to Doulos, Rob had committed to take his Young Life small group to the Wilderness Camp in Buena Vista, Colorado, where they will be summiting a mountain. He will be hiking, camping, and leading these young men in their faith for a week in June.

This has been a challenging Spring Break with more work to do than the average work week! We definitely got some spring cleaning done and spent memorable time with family for Easter. We were also somewhat overwhelmed with the amount of things on our plate. Rob is continuing to hammer out his Thesis, but it is a constant struggle for both of us to find balance between family, work, Young Life, school work, friends, and each other. With all of these things going on, we are starting to realize just how quickly our mid-July departure date is arriving! We have fundraising, moving, and some Spanish to learn before we go! We know that we need God to carry us through this busy season of preparation. Below are a few ways you can keep us in your prayers!

  • Continued growth in our relationship with the Lord
  • Quality time with each other
  • Time and motivation for Rob to finish his Thesis
  • Courage and direction for our Fundraising process
  • That God would prepare our hearts for this transition
Grace and Peace,
Meghan and Robbie

  1. Hi Robbie & Meghan!

    I saw a link to your blog on the wonderful "facebook news feed" and thought I would check it out - and couldnt believe what I read! You definitely have a few busy months ahead of you - know that Joshua and I will be praying for you both - for your new transition and preparing everything as well. We will also pray that in everything you do, that you know you are both sharing God's love around the world, what a wonderful opportunity! We are so proud of you both!

    It has been way to long...and I think it will be longer since you will be gone for 2 years! Glad to find your blog so we can keep updated on your life! Thinking and praying!

    Love, Angie & Josh Nixon
