Going today with Elaine to embassy to hopefully get stolen license replaced. Yes back in the day a month ago when my bag with cell phone, license, ipod, money and bag were all taken. It's all just stuff but a bit of a sting. Oh well.
Cristian and I are working on website and just when you feel good things are moving another one hits a blow of reality of where we are currently. So prayers are still stirring please keep them up!
What's been going on...oh so much! I am living in Kim's room with her lovely roomates I think I said before. We basically have a dresser, her mirror, bags of clothes (which seems to be all I own) and then a small mattress on the floor. SHe just left for JoBerg for work for the week, then she'll be back and takes off for OREGON on Tuesday! Yes so I'll be preparing to bring a message back to take to my church, and she also would absolutely love to speak on her project with the church and any others who are interested in hearing about what she and we are doing over here. Yes great ambassador!
We have the website, www.abstain2010.org bought, but it's the "ABSTAIN from World Pain" I think as our slogan, but just needing help get this whole format and emails finished. Allain from Media Village has so kindly agreed to help, but he's not necessarily a professional and he's so busy doing a documentery on the next DTS school that arrived yesterday there. So Cristian and I are fearing future work with him. Any ideas? I've emailed a few of you with my ideas for slogan, the picture and advice, etc. THANK YOU!
Weather? Sorry for you back in the states, it's suppose to be 90s today, again. Yeah I'm getting pretty brown and the pool isn't shivering that's for sure!
Heard from a few friends who've been traveling around that my team up on Swaziland are only in their 2nd week, and seeming a bit overwelmed. So please remember my DTS teams who are out and working evangelism in Thailand, Kenya, India (Bre) and Swaziland. They need it. I can't believe I'm not their and yet can't imagine being there.
Read a great scripture this morning from Psalms. It just keeps reinspiring me because I get this hope with one thing then complete lack of strength when I hear another. For example yesterday I met Tonya the director of Justice Acts, who's Kim's boss basically, and they work with that whole human trafficking/prostitution, and I was like OH we need to meet!
SHe said she's looked at my draft idea, and said she's been thinking about wanting to partner with, but she said, like many other already grounded organizations, will look at the time-line, and not only the 'great' ideas, but 'how' it's going to be implemented. She said I would be, as well as others, more likely to join in this campaign, if it was more professionally sound, you showed what you're going to do to make it reality with steps of how. SHe was being honest and it was exactly what I needed to hear. However, I look at her and go, well then what do I do? I look at Cristian and we're doing all we're really capable of at the moment until more help is on the way. Website is crucial, a small video to even start people speaking and being made aware is also something we're personally trying to create with what non-professionalism we have.
Tonya's point though in saying you have great contacts like this sports magazine and then this christian magazine, however, that's 2 total different marketing. SO, even if I have this idea and that, there's even so much more work than just getting material for TV, radio, magazines, etc., because your marketing will change for all and the audience. MAN that hit me like just more weight. BUT, that's where this Psalms reminded me, if it's GOd's will it will go forward. OH and also through reading the end of 1st Kings last night. Elijah going against all these armies of hundreds and fully equipted and GOd told Him to take what 2nd division troops he had, and go against them and he will help him conqure. Well, just as God said, He took out these armies and captured the land. BUT<>
Crap I dont' have the Bible on me, but it was the pages of I believe Psalms 120-125. CHeck it out, yeah mom you can read that. I think I'm going to read 2 Kings next, then Nehamiah. So much for reading the whole Bible all the way through :)
Oh I wanted to report, that the homeless man James whom I prayed for his Knee a few weeks ago, yeah I ran into him the other day!! In fact I run into him almost everyday now! He was grinning from ear to ear when I saw him to tell me his knee's been feeling much better! I was like, this is unbelievable God. Who really ever gets to see the fruits of the spirit? I prayed, and actually got to see God's work done in this man. He also just had this glow it was so inspiring! I saw him yesterday morning and wow, he's just so pleasant. He looked as well though, that he needed a new backpack! We're in the same boat! I'll find him one. OH mom, Kale, you'd be so happy, he's walking around picking up bottles to recycle. THE ONLY person I've seen recycle here in this country!
Let's back track a bit. I went to a cricket match Sunday with our incredible friend Mike and Mike and Mike's wife Meg. From Zimbabwe originally. They had gotten to the field early at 8 when the gates opened to just throw a blanket on the grass ground to beat the mass crowds! We had perfect seats under these trees, just a few feet from the field. I have to admit it was a pretty cool atmosphere, which apparently is what it's all about an dall for. England vs. South Africa. Let me tell you, I think there were just as many England fans! Apparently they travel and just follow the cricket, and cricket are proper 5 days matches. We only saw day 1. Crazy rich white folk. :) That's another interesting thing, was I hardly saw a person of color there. Yes much different than the soccer match I saw.
I still need to change my flight ticket to august, to extend everything I'm doing for this campaign. I need a car still. Cristian and I have had problems with my computer. He cleaned out so much then all this space was filled again, so him and this great man named Keffie helped clean up the whole computer yesterday and it's already running much better. They had to clean to have space to put in these 2 programs, 1 for logo and working with pictures, fonts, etc. The other is apparently a crash version of this program to make a video. Keffie says it should work, not really professionally but it's a start. He also helped me go over some of my things for my website yesterday, and GOSH I always feel so much better when someone just goes over things with me. When I'm delagating and 'telling' then I feel so inadequate and I don't think things are completely right. That's why when Cristian asked what we will put on our business cards, what will they say? I couldn't think of anything better than, Noel Cameron Team Memeber #1 Cristian Urritia Team Member #2, who wants to join? :) We need oh so much more help. I just pray someone like media village can take on our whole new idea and project because they have a team. They can work in many different fields and marketing. That's probably then just asking for funds. I say, Ok. Just tell me how much we're going to need to we can pray to God and ask for the funds. That's where I'm at. Please join me in those prayer requests.
Alright, love you all!
Have great day
