Departing. . .

Hey everybody! I hope this update finds you well. Today is the day that I leave for Malawi to do ministry with YouthHOPE and NMSI for 5 months and I am excited! I feel like it has taken so long for this day to come but I know that God has been molding and preparing me for my time in Malawi. I know I will come back changed and I look forward to seeing how God is going to do that. I thank you all for you prayer and support and I just want you to know how grateful I am to have that as I immerse myself in this new culture for the next 5 months. Here are some prayers and praises for you all.

Praise

• My time here in Ft. Myers preparing for Malawi. It has been a great time of refreshment and learning as I prepare for the months ahead
• For my nephew Jayden. I was so thankful to have a few weeks in Orlando while my sister had her third son, Jayden. I was able to hold and spend some time with him and my two other nephews before I go
• For the intern team (pictured above) that is there right now. I am so grateful for the seeds they have planted and how they have prepared the way for me.

Prayer Request

• For team unity with Drew as I begin my time there. That we would have time to build our relationship in order to do the most effective ministry there. That we would encourage and strengthen one another during our time there.
• For my safe travel to Malawi. That I would be able to get there as soon as I can to start ministry over there.
• For my time with our missionary families in Malawi. That there would be unity and grace as we work together serving the people of Malawi
• For financial support. I am still in need of about 1000 dollars for project money while I am over there, would you all prayerfully consider giving to me. You can go to www.nmsi.org and click on the Donate to NMSI button.
• For the intern team to finish well there and for it to be a seamless transition as I enter in.
• For the people of Malawi to be open to Gospel and to the teachings we have, even if they are different from what they are used to. That Drew and I would also be open to the concerns and questions they have and that God would bring us all to a better understanding of each other and our culture.

Thank you so much for your prayer and support. I look forward to telling you all of the exciting things that are happening and will be happening over in Malawi.

His hands and feet,

Josh Kaminsky
