Well, I made the move to Pennsylvania on Saturday July 17 and have begun settling in to the next chapter of life. Some wonderful friends from the seminary helped unpack my car at the farm and had Stephanie and I over for dinner Saturday night. On Sunday Stephanie and I worshiped at Prince of Peace Anglican Church where we experienced uplifting worship and a good, Biblical sermon followed by the celebration of Holy Communion. It was good to worship in an Anglican church again! Monday I got started at my new job as a Direct Care Worker at Alternative Energy Youth Farm. This is a totally new field to me and has been challenging so far as I have had to learn to work in a whole new context than I am familiar with. The young men who are housed here come from varying backgrounds and have been incarcerated for various reasons. It is a challenge sometimes to relate to and interact with them. I look forward to learning and seeing how things go. My supervisor is great and is a committed Christian. He and I and the weekend Direct Care Worker are starting a small group Bible study. I look forward to that fellowship. The wedding is only 71 days away and classes start the beginning of September. I will share more soon.
Please pray:
- for establishing good relationships with the boys who are here at the farm
- for trust in God in all things, even when they are uncertain and challenging
- for Stephanie's job as a nanny for three young children
- for the students and faculty and staff at Trinity School for Ministry.
- for my candidacy process in the Anglican Mission in America.
Grace & Peace,
Micah
