…in the past month, I’ve visited 5 countries, come home to America, married off my sister, and tried to figure out my purpose in this phase of life. (i’m still working on that last one).

It’s hard to believe that it’s the end of July. I can’t wait to share with you what God did in Serbia! I think it might be explained best through a message from my friend Miska, a student that went with us to Serbia. She writes,

My friend Andrea called me and told me that she was missing me. So I went to see her and we had a sincere conversation and you know what?- she told me she felt a GREAT emptiness inside and didn´t know what to do about it. So I prayed to Lord, that He would prepare me an opportunity to talk to her. Last night I visited her, I told her about how it was in Serbia, I did soularium with her (she liked it a lot) and when she told me that she doubted that her spiritual strength would be strong enough to get her to heaven, I knew I had to go through the gospel with her. We read the booklet together, talked about it… I am so thankful that I could do this with her, I´m praising the Lord! I´m so happy today! She told me she had no one to talk to about such things and she thanked me for beautiful evening she could spend with me. My desire is to continue with these conversations. Oh, I´d like to ask you if you could pray that God would work in her heart and would give her a thirst after His salvation, His Love and His Truth, and also that He would give me His love and wisdom when I am talking to her next time.

Love you Kelly and thank you sooo much for what   I´ve learned with you, for inviting me to Serbia and for all the prayers you´ve prayed for me. I can see God working in my life to such extent, that I know there must be many sincere, loving prayers behind it all. Even though I´ve told you already, Serbia really did change my life!

I’m so thankful that your prayers were answered! God really is moving and working in Slovakia.

back to America!

Being back in America is a little crazy at times, especially during Wal-Mart visits. I am adjusting slowly and really thankful to be back and able to see people again!
I arrived back to America on June 27th and a week later my sister, Kirby got married on the 4th of July! The wedding and reception were beautiful and it was a true joy to be her maid of honor!

up next…

I have traveled to Wilmington a couple of times, to be there again and to see if it’s a place I could see myself living in this phase of life. When I drove into town, I knew immediately -it’s home, and I definitely sense that God wants me in Wilmington again.
At this point, my desire to move away from campus ministry into a different aspect of ministry. So, as of the fall, I will no longer be on staff with Campus Crusade. I will be transitioning into a position with my church in Wilmington.
I have appreciated your love and support of me over these past 5 years as I’ve been in Wilmington and Slovakia. It has been a privilege to see lives changed. Thank you for your prayers and for your diligence in giving.
In the process of this decision, I’ve been most sad about thinking of losing a support team of reliable people that I know love me.
I do want to ask you to continue your giving through the end of October if it is possible for you, in this way I’ll continue to be paid through Crusade in this time of transition. After that point, if you are a direct draft giver, you will need to either email or call crusade to end your draft, 888-CRUSADE or e-mail eft@ccci.org, this will not stop automatically.
I will continue to write on kellycain.com to give updates and to continue to process all that I learned during my stint year, and what I’m learning currently.
To continue to pray for me, you can pray that God would provide a car, a place to live, and growing community in this next phase of life. I am so thankful for your prayers and support!
