My roommate

God began stirring my heart for the mission field in 2002.  Since then, I was willing to go wherever he desired, but also struggled with serving alone.  In February 2010 when I attended the training session, I met Jenna.  We sat together for a few hours.  The next day I learned that we would be roommates in Tanzania for a year.  I was in awe of God's plan.  He knew it would be hard to come alone.  I never thought to pray for a roommate and could not have picked a more perfect one.   She uses each one of the gifts (photography, sewing, painting, drawing, etc.)  God has given her for his glory.  Now she is working on a project to represent this year.  Check it out by clicking here: Even Me .   You may also like her blog: http://morethorp.wordpress.com/.
