Fully Funded Trip!

WOOHOO!

God is so good (of course)! In just a couple of weeks, we were blessed with support from friends and family and now our trip September 26 - October 2 is fully funded!

We can't wait to get down to St Kitts and really dig into what God is doing there. I don't think we have words to express our anticipation and excitement.

Lately Aaron and I have been studying a lot about the Holy Spirit and learning to have a Spirit led life. We are reading Radical by David Platt and Forgotten God by Francis Chan. Having the Spirit lead our every decision is our biggest prayer.We don't want to get so focused on our version of God's plan, only to miss what He really wants us to do. Please be praying with us that we listen to the Spirits direction. 

Now that our travel cost are covered, we would really like to be able to bring supplies for the Graysons and their ministries. We will be posting a full list of needs soon, but I know that they can always use toys as prizes for the Awana Club program and well as Awana materials. If you would like to donate supplies for us to take please e-mail me (Katelyn) at katelyncomer@hotmail.com and I will arrange to pick them up.

Thank you to everyone who has support us both with their donations and their prayers! Your quick and generous responses are more confirmation to us that God is leading us to a life serving in St Kitts.

Love You All,
  The Comers

April Showers (Or the Beginning of Dry Season)

Image
Recently I started reading through Revelation. It's the last book in my journey to read through the entire Bible. It MAY have taken a little more than a year lol. I'm not gonna lie, there were some books I was not excited to dive into (Leviticus? Numbers? Habakuk???). However, God has used each book in His precious word to speak to me in whatever season I have been walking through. I expected to learn a lot about Revelation, but not necessarily from Revelation. I had always viewed it as a way to understand what's coming, but maybe not what I'm dealing with now. But praise God for His LIVING word! It never fails to meet me where I am and speak life over me.  April was not much different than March. Phone calls, reaching out, being told "next week", "next month", waiting, waiting, waiting. Waiting on our visas, waiting on churches, waiting on materials, waiting on a start date at the prison. It can get a little maddening. One of those mornin...

We have FINALLY arrived!

Image
We're here.  We are here. We are really for real here!  We are really, truly, amazingly, actually here! I have to keep reminding myself of this daily, hourly, sometimes minute to minute. One week in, and it still doesn't always feel real.  At our missions training in August we talked about the paradox that missionaries live with. How it's possible to feel two ways at once, think two ways at once, eventually to belong to two places at once. This had been the month of paradox. We spent November saying goodbye and soaking up as much East Tennessee love and memories as possible. We started the month by finding out that we will be getting a NIECE this march!!! Congratulations Adam and Katie and Eli!!! We are so excited for that precious girl to arrive! We also had early Christmas with my (Katelyn's) family so that we could celebrate all together. It was such a fun evening with all our traditions and love and laughter. It means everything to me that...

When Things Don't Go As Planned

Image
  We were dreading October. Not for any great reason, but we had been warned that it was the hottest month of the year. This summer was quite the experience in scorching heat and sweating 24/7, so we weren't super excited about it feeling EVEN hotter. Surprisingly though, October brought cooler breezes, lots of rain, and a drop in temperatures. This shift set the stage for a month of unexpected.   Our Celebrate Recovery Inside had been put on hold while the prison was on lock down after a violent incident. The women's side was cleared, and I have been able to be back with my ladies for the past few weeks. But we were no longer meeting in the air conditioned classroom next to the offices. Now I was being escorted across the men's courtyard, through padlocked doors and past high concrete walls into the world in which my ladies spend their day. We meet outside, me in my full length pants and shirts with sleeves (per the visitors dress code). We are more heavily observed, and...
