hello extended family...just reaching out
Hi all!! love this community and soooo glad I was introduced to it almost 2 years ago!
I am a new Yorker, living now 13 years in Switzerland! I pray for God to reveal to me the when and how details of getting me back yo new York city!! now being a believer, I want to be where I can be a witness for Christ....in English everyday, everywhere...not just once a year at an Alpha live course on the English discussion table! But I have been serving where I can while here in swissieland! doing English translation in my church,also in a Moms in Prayer English group.
I have prayed if it wasn't gods will for me to go back then remove it from my heart...well I got a peace about it just last week! When its time to go ...just go! This came to mind when I was struggling for awhile about whether to make a swiss passport for me and my 11 yeard old...so we could alwaysa come back...then I thought..NO!! im trusting God all the way..no back up plan!
leaving here means taking my son...and leaving behind my 28 year old, who is married now for one year, and not hearing what I have to say about faith. I came here to switzeralnd in 2001, married, divorced, and now just being obedient to the verses God is leading me to....be patient and wait for the Lord!ok...since my son is having a Nerf fight with a friend right now...and bullets are flying by me, I will write some more another time! been meaning to get on here and shout out...so here I am!! I actually called for the first time the other day as well!! Be blessed my extended family...we have been blessed so that we can pass on the blessing!!!!
if thers anyone out there who wants to reach out to me, feel free!!

Hi Jane! What a cool ministry opportunity being in Switzerland! I've always wondered what the spiritual climate there is like? But if you've prayed about it and believe God is telling you to come back to NY, then do what God is telling you to do. But you never know, God might want to use that as a mission field for you in the future! God bless!

Hello al! just to give an update...I am constantly getting confirmation to leave Switzerland. during my pastors sermon today I even wrote a prayer to the Lord, while writing my notes from sermon, and numerous times NEW YORK came into my head!!
it was missions sunday and the sermon was about humbling yourself to allow God to put you where he wants to.
I wish my church family would support me and see this as me going out in the mission field of new York city..my hometown..going back as a Christian...im beginning to get excited now because I know im trusting and finally listening to what God is telling me! yes all the details about the move aren't easy...but why cant others believe as I do that God can do anything??!! include provide a place to live and a job..and bring me to the women who I can minister to, or bring those alongside me to start a ministry for women. I am trusting in my God...the creator..for provision!!
Im still reaching out to all of you so that if God puts it on your heart to help, then you know where I stand and what my needs are.
today was 2 tissue day during the praise songs!! its the time where through my tears I not only worship and praise, but its like a cleansing for me, letting it all out before God. And as a single mom, I have lots to let run down my cheeks, drop away and let it go!!
then why do those same worries creep back up on us?! then I just take them to Jesus once more!
I have seen my time here as a preparation time..now I take the message of how Jesus and a relationship with him has changed my life! Please, please if any of ou out there have connections in new York please reach out..thanks! May God bless you..because we blessed so we can be a blessing!! I know thers a woman there in new York who needs me, and I may be the only one to minister to her where all others could not! God is great and I am believing in His mighty hand to go before me and my son and prepare the way for us. no big bank account backing us up either. Switzerland may be the richest country, but not me! Lord, we praise you for who you are!!!

Read Fransis Schieffer. He had a ministry in Switzerland called LaBre for young people. His book is "How now should. we live" excellent resource!

God bless,Jane,

My prayers are with you. Don't disbelieve God just because He is telling you that His heart is for New York. I have frequently been convicted about the fervency of our brothers and sisters in Christ in the Developing World compared with our own.
