Hello beloved friends who live outside of NYC,
I wanted to send a little update to all of you, and Happy Chanukah! I am in a sublease in Queens until Jan 6 and will be here during the holidays. Some of you know that I am in the midst of a major life transition as I pursue God's calling on my life to both live and work in the Bronx, particularly the South Bronx where there are IMMENSE needs. I ask for your prayers. Though I feel called to both, I do not yet have a new home or new job. After much prayer myself, I am not feeling called to live with anyone in my amazing church who already lives in the Bronx. It is very likely in fact that I will be living with non-Christians in the Bronx, and so, I also ask you to pray that I will be light to my new roommates. I trust God in this new journey but still need definite direction and wisdom. Pray that I will also continue to be wise with how I spend money so that I have all that is needed financially for my new place. Thank you all for praying!
So glad that my life has been woven into yours at some point pre-NYC,
Amanda Kay Johnson
