2 Weeks Until Outreach!

We are officially 2 weeks away from leaving for Papua New Guinea!

To my church family at Orlando Community Church: Thank you so much for your continued financial support. Quite a bit of money was raised at the Pancake Breakfast... I am so thankful to you all. It is amazing to see God's provision through my OCC family. Thank you also for your e-mails and keeping in touch with me... I miss everyone so much.

I am creating an e-mail list for my outreach team to send updates once we are in PNG. Please e-mail me your e-mail address so I can add you to the list to receive updates! My e-mail is stephanieungaro@hotmail.com.

These past few weeks of lectures have been amazing. We had a week on Spiritual Warfare two weeks back, and this past week our topic was Covenants. I have been meditating a lot on my position with Christ. During spiritual warfare week, we learned all about the authority we have in Christ Jesus against the enemy. This week, we learned about our covenant relationship with God through the blood of Jesus. We studied the covenants in the Old Testament (Adam, Noah, Abraham, Israel (Sanai), David) and saw the fulfillment of God's promises through Jesus- the New Covenant. This was an incredible topic... I have such a deeper understanding of God's faithfulness and the fact that I am secure in this new covenant with Him. God is so amazing!

I have a few prayer requests this week as we prepare for outreach:

• Taelor and Alex are still in need of funds. The money is due this Friday. We are confident that God will provide, but would appreciate the support of your prayers.
• Pray for team unity throughout our time in PNG.
• Spirit led planning as we prepare sermons and make last minute arrangements.
• That God will prepare hearts of the people we will encounter.
• Please pray for our health: Sickness from mosquitos and stomach sickness from food and water is common in PNG, especially in remote villages.
• Pray for our safety and protection.

My outreach team: Daniel and Carly (outreach leaders); Taelor, Alex, Paivi, and me.

I am so excited about outreach. I feel confident and ready to minister to the people of PNG. God has been stirring my heart ever since we found our outreach location... I just can't wait to see God move in this nation!!

I will update you before we leave. To receive updates once we are in PNG, please remember to send me your e-mail address :)

Lots of love,

Stephanie
