Update: A Door has Opened - A New Role in Missions!

-

 


I'm SO happy to share with you today.


God has opened a new door for me to continue to serve Him in Missions in Africa!
 

I have joined the PAOC Africa & Middle East Regional Team!


I'm so excited. This new role means I will be able to continue to:

  • Follow my passion to serve vulnerable children
  • Remain in PAOC Mission Global as a Global Worker
  • Stay in Tanzania and support local ministry there, and
  • Take on new responsibilities to serve the entire region!  


Here's what I will be doing: 

1. Co-ordinate and Support Mission Global initiatives
Support regional and local initatives in 14 Sub-Sahara Africa countries and several more in difficult contexts in North Africa and the Middle East and engage in strategic planning focused on:

  • Reaching the unreached 
  • Caring for the most vulnerable 

 2. Care for Vulnerable Children and Communities 
Partner with ERDO ChildCARE Plus (CCP) to provide child and community program support, monitor initiatives and build capacity to impact the lives of vulnerable children, families and communities. 

3. Provide organizational support to the PAOC Mission work in Tanzania
Engage in leadership at Petra City Church, the vibrant church plant in Mwanza and help facilitate organizational support for our PAOC ministry in the nation. 
 
This is exactly what I was praying for! 
I get to continue to serve vulnerable children plus take on new responsibilites to engage in community development and initiatives for the entire region. This perfectly builds on my gifts and experience and will stretch me to have a broader impact than ever before. Isn’t God good?! 

What does this mean to you? 

  • You are still part of something great! Your engagement will continue to impact the lives of vulnerable children in Africa and even more!
  • Your partnership is still valued and needed. Your prayers, encouragement and giving mean so much. Thank you.  
  • Now is a great time for you to get more involved!

As I start this new chapter, I need a few new monthly donors to stand with me. If you have ever thought about becoming a monthly donor or giving a special gift, and you are able, now would be a great time to start or to give a special gift. It would be a huge help! Just click the button below.

As I reflect on the last few months, I'm once again reminded of His goodness. When we have the courage to walk into the unknown, He is faithful. I'm amazed (but not surprized) on how He works in ways so unexpected and yet so wonderful. Know He will do that for you too! 

Thank you for continuing to stand with me during this time of transition. I have such a peace that God is working and sense the excitement building in my soul. I know He has great things ahead and can't wait to share them with you!

Many blessings,
Jeanette

ps. Don't stop praying! Pray that God will use all of us in the AME region to share His love & impact many lives. And, please know, you are always in my prayers too!

  . .. I continue to love the work to which He has called me to with VOH Africa and being here in Tanzania ... and I'm coming home in May/June to be able to share more about it with churches, donors and potential donors in person.   My work is continuing to grow and I continue to be honored to be part of the ministry of VOH. But sometimes it's hard to explain and the difference VOH is making in children's lives - especially when it's mainly through updates and emails.   So, I'm coming home from the middle of May for a few weeks to share in person, the great work of VOH, what God has been doing in my life, and to build a firm foundation (of both financial and prayer support) for the work ahead.   Here's a Sneak Peak of what I want to say:   1.    VOH is truly impacting the lives of children As I continue the mission with VOH, and hear stories of the children, I can say with 100% confidence that the min...

Jambo (Hello) from Africa!

My first week in Africa has been crazy! A rollercoaster of the finest kind. Power outages, water shortages, thunderstorms, isolation, questioning … making new friends, excitement, learning, laughing … and more. All packed into 7 days! It’s been an adjustment that's for sure. I’ve been to Africa many times but never stayed in a place for $15/night, waking up most mornings with no water for a shower , and sitting most evenings in the pitch dark except for the small flame of a candlelight so I can reach out to family and friends on data (at least I got that figured out)! But it’s also been amazing. I’ve met new friends at Villages of Hope Kitwe. I’m humbled by their passion, competency and laser focus on putting the children first. I've seen the joy in the children's faces and heard it in their robust singing. And I’m learning much - not just about the programs (which have consistently impressed me) but about the motivations...

No more waiting!

Have you ever had to wait for over 50 years for something? I have. As a young girl, I wanted be a missionary when I grow up … I wanted to help people less fortunate than me have a chance in life, grow up and know about God. I even knew I didn't want it to be Africa, because it seemed there were already enough missionaries there so I'd go somewhere else, maybe India. They had lots of people. Or maybe even Kuwait. Not sure of the location, but was confident of the calling. In my teens, I have a couple of great short-term mission experiences. I went to Bible college, and seminary, all to get ready. But, God had different plans for me. Doors to go to missions closed. Doors with not-for-profit organizations opened. So, I went in a new direction. I've been working in NFP and NGO marketing for the last 35 years. It's been great. And much of this was related to helping the poor overseas. But it's not the same as being on the ground, working directly wit...
