YEAR UPDATE:
the year off, on January 9, our niece, Kelsey married Nick! We made the trip to
Nashville, TN, where the Rock family gathered to celebrate the first of our 9
nieces and nephews to get married. It was a beautiful day, gorgeous bride and
great couple who love God and desire to continue serving Him. On January 11, our
oldest niece Ashleigh accepted Jonathan’s proposal for marriage. We couldn’t be happier for them. We meet
Jonathan when he came last year to lead worship for 2 of our Ambassador
training camps. He is a wonderful man of God. He is currently living in
Colorado, but hopes to find a job in Nashville where Ashley is dance teacher
and living.
12 | HAITI
on our hearts is the devastation in Haiti. AIM is responding by sending several
teams and are offering ways for you to be a part of reaching out. To learn more, click on the banner/image
above our blog.
Musick, a World Racer now working in the Gainesville AIM office with us, is currently
in the DR with a team. They are working along side Miguel Shaul, another AIM staff
and his wife. Please keep them all in your prayers. (See our previous blog
update)
We
continue to get the question – “Will you be taking an Ambassador team?” The
answer is, “when the time is right”. With that said – we will continue to pray for God’s leading
and respond in obedience.
NEW
AMBASSADOR STAFF
We’ve
added staff to the Ambassador program! Both have been answers to prayer as we
continue to grow…and are doing an incredible job.

| BE CONFERENCE
Don
has been asked to spearhead the BE CONFERENCE that AIM offers. He has been hesitant
to step into this role, fearing it would pull him away from Ambassadors. Please keep this in your prayers…as it’s
an addition to other
responsibilities.
MARCH
13-21 | SWAZILAND TRIP
Both
Don
and I will be leading this team of 15. Please keep us in your prayers
as we
prepare, set-up etc. We are excited to return and share this trip with
a cousin of
mine, a friend from MI, and a student (now adult) from a previous
church we
worked with. Part will be medical, house visitations, children’s
ministry and anything in-between. God is doing great things in
Swaziland!
APRIL
8-11 | AMBASSADOR LEADER TRAINING
This
is always a highlight for us. We will need 50-60 leaders for all our trips. We have
been blessed with some leaders who have lead the past few years and some new
ones including World Racers. We are still short on male leaders. Do you know of
any?
