Ghana Support Letter.

Dearest friends and family,
I have been blessed throughout my lifetime to go on many trips to different places, meet many wonderful people and learn a lot that the Lord had to teach me through those experiences. I would like to share some of the bigger trips that have grown my faith tremendously throughout my life. The first trip would be on my missions trip to Wichita, Kansas with my middle school youth group. This trip was where the Lord really opened my heart to Inner City missions. In high school I got the opportunity to go to Honduras not only once but three times! This letter would be seven pages long if I wrote all I learned there, but one of the biggest things I learned was that the Lord always provides. He provided me a way to get there each time even when it seemed almost hopeless and I had little faith. I also saw how He provided for those in Honduras who had faith like I have never seen, even in some of the roughest circumstances. The third wonderful experience I was blessed to participate in was the Oklahoma City Gospel Project in 2012. I heard about it on a spring break trip and was obedient to the Lord when he called me there. Intentional community and getting outside my comfort zone was a must during that summer, but it was hands down the best summer of my life. It confirmed my calling to love God's people in the inner city that God had placed on my heart when I was only thirteen.
 I tell you of these three trips one, because it shows the hand of God on my life, and two because many of you supported me whether it was by support money or prayer and to this day I am still very thankful. Since then I have graduated from Oklahoma State University and moved to Oklahoma City to attend and serve the church I did the Gospel Project with. I am currently nannying for a family at my church, co leading a children's Bible study and am a youth night leader at our churches youth group. I get to live with three other precious girls from my church in a house within the community that we are called to love. The Lord has blessed me with a lot in this season of life, one of those blessings being the opportunity to go to Ghana Africa this August with my home church back in Tulsa.
Many of you who know my story know of my friend Lauren who went to be with Jesus my junior year of high school and the impact she and her family have had on my life. Our church and her family have done a lot to help our brothers and sisters over in Ghana and there is a lighthouse chapel there in dedication to her called Lauren's Lighthouse Chapel. A huge desire of my heart has been to visit there and visit all the people who have been touched by the story of what God did in and through Lauren's life. And now I have the opportunity to go with Lauren's mom and other wonderful people from my church! My heart is completely overjoyed!
Our time there will be spent at The Pearl House which is a place dedicated to providing refuge for vulnerable girls, teaching them Truth and giving them freedom and hope for the present and future. We will spend our time there doing projects, getting one on one time with the girls, going on outings and ultimately just spending time and loving our sisters who live there.  We will be sharing in Sunday services, one at Maranatha in Accra and one at Lauren’s Lighthouse Chapel. We also will be visiting the missionary training schools that are there.
As you all can imagine, I am extremely excited and overjoyed at this opportunity and would greatly appreciate your support whether it be in donations in helping me get there or prayer before, during, and after the trip. Your prayer for me before the trip can be that the Lord prepares the hearts of those whom we will be loving and spending time with while there and also that he prepares my heart for what he has to teach me. While we are there, pray first and foremost God’s will be done in everything that we do, that we hear what he has to teach us, that we are obedient to what He has to say and for good health and protection. After the trip I will send out another letter telling you of my trip and what you can continue praying for! My trip has an estimated cost of 2,460 dollars which will cover my immunizations, flight, food, and lodging while I am there. If you could help support me in that way it would be great, but ultimately prayer is what is needed most. Thank you all for your love for me, I truly love and appreciate all of you and what you have been in my life.
                                          Sincerely,
                                                            Kacey Lynn

NOW THOSE ALTARS IN THE WILDERNESS TELL THE STORY OF HIS FAITHFULNESS

There have been seasons in my life that lasted way longer than I would have liked them too. After a long while I began to realize wishing those seasons away and turning to so many things but Jesus to make those seasons end was not working, but instead was making me bitter. My prayer in those seasons went from, "take this cup from me" to, "as long as it takes to get to a place of surrender I'm gonna stay right here." My hard times brought me to a place of fully surrendering fear and fully trusting Jesus, something I struggled severely with. Our sweet son was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis last week. I think if this had happened before those other hard seasons I would be totally crippled by fear right now. But I can honestly say that I'm not fearful of what this diagnosis might bring, sad yes, but not afraid.  I used to always expect the worst. Expect whatever came next to be something that once again would bring bad news. This time, although it...

Ministry Isn't Easy

Exodus 4:10 But Moses pleaded with the LORD, “O Lord, I’m not very good with words. I never have been, and I’m not now, even though you have spoken to me. I get tongue-tied, and my words get tangled.” Sometimes we don't feel good enough to do what God has called us to do. And sometimes we use that as an excuse to get out of it because we give into fear. At least that's how it's been for me.  Initially when the Lord called me to start London Square Children’s Ministry my argument was, I'm not good at leading and organizing.  I can jump in and help someone else who is leading and organizing but I can't start up a Ministry and lead it. I'm not good at that. And although that is true, it's not my strong suit, He equipped me to do it. And much fruit came from it.  Then covid hit and I got pregnant.  A long season away from the Ministry for the safety of myself and my baby. But I think that safety from a virus turned into safety of my time and energy.  Honestly se...

God's Providence

1Thes 2:8 We loved you so much we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our own lives as well, because you had become so dear to us. I believe the Lord has done remarkable things in my life in order that I may share it with others for His glory...so here we go. The Lord's providence has been all over my whole life. And I mean my WHOLE life...but I'll start at age 8. When I was 8, my aunt and uncle so lovingly blessed me by sending me to Kanakuk a Christian athletic camp. That was the summer I first heard the Gospel. This was the same summer my two year old brother passed away. Divine providence one, I heard the Gospel, the promise that this life is not the end just a week or so before my precious brother went to be with the Lord. Thank the  Lord I had those promises to hold tight to in that dark time. The summer between 6th and 7th grade, my aunt and uncle again, obedient to the Lord's calling to love and pursue me offered to send me to a pri...
