in kona, a project takes flight

I realize it has been a few weeks since my last update, and not a lot has changed here since then, but I did want to keep you all in the loop as far as what is happening with our program here in Kona. It does feel as though we are finally beginning to settle down here. It is weird to think of being in a place now for more than a month.

For those of you who don't know, our class is now going through the process of making a publication from our photos and experiences over the last nine months of travel. It is a daunting task, assembling the minds of about 20 people and trying to achieve a common vision and result, but we've been seeing God working unity into our minds as we take small steps. Basically, the aim of us making a publication is to then go out distributing the publication in different areas around the world, using it as a tool to bring awareness to people regarding different issues of injustice in the world, and motivating people to get involved with those areas of need with their time, resources and energy. Our hope is that we will be able to portray areas of need in our world in a relevant way, showing people the reality of injustice in our world, but at the same time, showing the hope for change that exists with those needs. In this, we would very much value your prayers.

I appreciate all of your involvement in the process thus far. It has been an amazing experience to see so many places and meet so many people and learn about so many different issues. These next months will be quite a bit different, but I'm looking forward to learn how to portray these places, people and issues in an effective way, from the perspective of God's heart. I am blessed by your partnership with me in this.
