- Today I am grateful.

Many of you prayed for me, coached me, and encouraged me over the past few months, as I pursued the Christian Associates' COO / Operations Team Leader position. I am grateful.

After a very thorough search, CA was fortunate enough to hire the Chief Development Officer of a much larger European missions organization. Among other strengths, Eric Curtiss has much more corporate fundraising experience than I do (fundraising for CA as an organization), and this is something we need in this season. I asked you all to pray that "God's will be done in this hiring process," not mine. I was obedient in pursuing the role to the best of my abilities, and in the end CA got an excellent new addition to our staff. I am grateful.

Eric has asked me to join our Operations Team. I spent three days with our President, COO, CFO and Dir. of HR in Denver last month and let me just tell you... I LOVED it! God has given me a mix of communication, administration and finance skills that I feel privileged to get to leverage in the operations and system implementation arenas of CA. So excited about what my new role on that team will bring! I am grateful.
