Midwest Winter Meets Southerner!

Hello Hello! Don't cha know! (practicing my midwest lingo, hehe)

I want to share with you all how God has worked in mighty ways for my upcoming adventure!

This adventure is called Midwest Winter meets Southerner! God has allowed me the opportunity to connect with 6-7 different churches in the state of Iowa and with 1-2 colleges in Iowa from Feb 6th to Feb 12/13. I also will be seeing churches in the Minneapolis area (shout out to my Brooklyn Park team!!) during the week of Feb 13th along with seeing my good friends, the Princes! I'm hoping to visit colleges in the Minneapolis area as well! Look out Bethel!

God's provision includes:

  1. Flights to Minneapolis and back!
  2. A car to drive around Iowa and Minneapolis (THANK YOU JESS for trusting your car with a southerner in the midwest winter!)
  3. Awesome churches and colleges who have served in New Orleans who are taking time out of their daily schedule to hear about the vision God has given me for the next generation of missionaries!!
  4. The time, ability, strength, and encouragement to make this journey!
  5. Even a winter coat and heavy duty gloves from my roomie!

How you can partner with me...

  1. PRAYER!!! and this is no joke. I, Katie Hooks, have only driven in snow once or twice in my whole life! I will need LOTS OF PRAYER for protection while driving in this weather. I know my God is my shield and my protector and I know I need Him to make it everywhere I'm going safely. PLEASE PRAY for safe travels for me beginning Feb 1st to the 17th! In addition, please pray for courage (as I mentioned in my below blog) as I invite people to join my monthly support team! Please pray God would begin preparing their hearts now for partnering with me!
  2. If you or someone you know is in the Iowa/Minneapolis area, I'D LOVE TO SEE YOU or meet them! I'm excited about sharing what God is doing in New Orleans and would love to take the time to meet with anyone! Please email me any one you can think of: katie.hooks@efca.org

Thank you soo much for taking the time to read this blog and for all of your love and support!

God bless you!
Katie :)
