There is a time for everything

Ecclesiastes 3:1-2

There is a time for everything,

and a season for every activity under heaven:

a time to be born and a time to die,

a time to plant and a time to uproot

Dear friends,

It has been a while since I have updated you all to the journey the Lord has me on. As I write this the theme that is foremost on my mind is “change”

Since I have returned from Slovakia in late January I have been faced with lots of choices and circumstances all pointing to change. I praise God for the spiritual leaders He has placed in my life to offer guidance, comfort and encouragement in this season.

Over the last few months I have had Slovak friends come and go, a loved one moved to a new city, I had a loved one go home to be with the Lord, and a new path to Velky Krtis is (even as I type) unfolding.

After spending days upon days praying, diving into the Word and seeking wise council I decided I needed to resign from Josiah Venture. I know that this is going to be shocking to most of you, but believe me this was not a hasty decision. Over time it became more and more clear that partnering with JV would mean putting Velky Krtis ministries on the back burner. As of my last conversation on the matter with JV leadership I would need to live in a town (4 to 6 hours from VK) for an undisclosed amount of time. In the end I felt God’s calling to Velky Krtis was much stronger then a desire to partner with Josiah Venture.

I am sad that things didn’t work out between our two ministries, but am grateful for all Josiah Venture has done for me. I am also very grateful that Josiah Venture has agreed to return the monies raised by me for this ministry, even though it is against their policy. Praise the Lord! So I will not be starting from square one as I pursue other options for sending organizations. Grace Community Church will be holding the funds until I have established myself with a new organization.

Also God has continued to bless me financially even though I am without an organization. I have had a few more monthly pledges come in and they are simply waiting by faith for an account to start sending it to. I am in awe of the faithfulness of our Father and His continued provision.

Right now I am still seeking out God’s will for the correct path to Velky Krtis. I have been researching, contacting and praying about who will be the best fit for this ministry. Please join me in prayer for wisdom and guidance as He unfolds the next steps of my journey. I am still full of faith and know that God will get me to the ministry I believe He is calling me to.

God bless,

Meghan Johnson
