2016 Newest Update

A Joyous hello!

The new year is fresh and young and I am learning to reset is not just one time at the beginning of the year, but it is a daily action step to acknowledge Jesus Christ daily in the everyday activities. From the moment we wake up and choose to start with Him, through prayer, worship, meditating on His word while we drive, while at work, before we make decisions, how we choose to respond during our communication with others and putting God's way over our ways are all essential to our day to day moments.

Before I share what I have coming up as a missionary, I like to share something I was blessed to receive during a visit at a church I got to visit this past week. The sermon was called: The Secret to a Happy New Year in 2016

1. Reset your life to please God and you will find the secret to joy and happiness.
2. Put God first (Matthew 6:33)
3. Obey God's Word (John 15:10-11)
4. Fear God (Ecclesiastes 12:13)
5. Have faith in God (Hebrews 11:5-6)

Be encouraged and may 2016 be the year of love,abundance, blessings, wisdom and inspiration.

If you are in Tampa, where I serve as a missionary, I love to see you at my fundraiser events in partnership with Dance World Studio. #supportmissionaries #generous2016

“For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for him and how you have shown your love to him by caring for other believers,[a] as you still do.”

— Hebrews 6:10

Nikita extends stay in USA

Jesus on a Mission= Nikita on a mission

Jesus showed the way and he lived his life as an example to all his followers. For three years he discipled, taught and showed what living for God looks like. When we say yes to Jesus, it also means we say yes to the messy parts of ministry, it means saying yes to continued grace and yes to continued hope. Jesus said: "Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone"  (Mark 16:15)

It has been 2,5 years since I said yes to full-time mission work at Crossover Church, and I have taken the decision to extend my time in the USA after September 2015. I thank you for prayer and monetary support which makes it possible to continue the missionary stay in the USA.

What is it like to be in missions full-time. Well take a look and find out as I hosted 6 missionaries from Texas during their mission trip to Tampa last month at 7 local ministries in 3 days.

Help those in need
We all have dreams right? What better way is there to ignite and inspire kids to dream big by making vision boards with them. At the DreamCenter of Grace Family Church in Ybor City we spent an afternoon with kids and shared about having dreams for the future and the importance of having vision (Prov 29:18)

Pray for those in need
At 11:30pm we went out with a team of 11 and brought 30 boxes of pizza, and Macdonalds to feed over 60 homeless people in DownTown Tampa. Besides feeding stomachs, we prayed with anyone who desired prayer.

I had the opportunity to minister to women at the Alpha House of Tampa through music, dance, testimony sharing and fellowship. Alpha House is a place for homeless pregnant women and mothers with young children. They offer safe housing and the tools to become self-sufficient and effective responsible parents.
