Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. (Romans 12:1, 2 NIV)

Yesterday, when I left Denver, it was snowing.  The temperature gauge in my car read 33 when I started the journey and got up to 88 shortly before arriving for the night in Oklahoma.  What a contrast.  And what a contrast between what I am doing now through Iron Rose Sister Ministries and what I had been doing for the past six years in Baton Rouge.   I was focused almost exclusively on a local work.  I am now more focused on a global level.

Before moving to Baton Rouge to work with the Campus Ministry there, I was living in Venezuela, helping with a church plant in East Caracas for four years.  It began meeting in my apartment with 12 people and ten years later, it is going strong in spite of the many challenges they face in the country.

I will have an opportunity to visit that church again while I am in Venezuela later this month.  I am excited to encourage them and share with them about Iron Rose Sister Ministries.  I will also have the opportunity to speak at the Eastern Venezuela Women's Conference.

Please keep these visits and opportunities in your prayers.  Over the next few days, I will chronicle some of the current and past stories of what these visits are all about.
