Pray, pray, pray!

So yesterday I had my phone interview. Seems there was a mix-up and I was being interviewed to be an assistant at a school over the summer... but I quickly explained that my heart was set on working with orphans. The cool part was that the woman who was doing my interview had actually help start the orphanage years ago so she had a lot of knowledge of it. It's an all girls orphanage with 50-60 girls. All along I have felt that this is where God is calling me to go. I was told that my interviewer with talk with some other folks and someone will get back with me. Please, please pray with me that I will receive an invite soon and that it will be to work at this orphanage. I hope to leave in about two months but can't do much at this point because I'm still not 100% sure of my location. I covet your prayers that God will allow me to volunteer at this location over the summer. This is the website for the orphanage, they also are getting ready to open a boys orphanage. I've been looking over this website constantly in the past 24 hours and feel that my heart is already there.  It is in the city of Lubumbashi in the Congo DR.
This summer is going to be a busy one in the Congo because they will be celebrating the 100th year anniversary of Methodism there and people will be coming in from all over the world to celebrate. I would love, love to be able to be there to celebrate with all of God's children!
Thank you so much for your questions, support, prayers and good thoughts. This is not only my ministry, this is OUR ministry!
The peace of Christ be with you!
