YaYA Tây Nam new coordinator: ALEX PHAN

Xin chào gia đình Đồng Hành,

Chúng em trong ĐH YaYA Ministries TâyNam xin mọi người chung vui với các em; thứ bảy trong cuối tuần vua qua chúng em họp lại với nhau trong một Deepening Day để coi lại những hoa quả của YaYA Ministries từ tháng 10 năm trước tới bây giờ, và cùng cầu nguyện chung cho những gì sắp đến.... những, needs and desires.... where does God want to lead us next...

As part of the fruits of this Deepening Day we would like to share with you the little journey that was taken, and some new developments:

We reflected on the roots (our foundations, what has given the ministry strength and life) and the fruits over the past almost year. Please see attached for a picture from an activity we did related to it... the tree represents Jesus, the Vine.. and on this tree we cut, pasted, glued the fruits that we saw, and where we saw the roots deepen.

We prayed to discern the needs/concerns/desires for vung TayNam YaYA Ministries at this time, as well as what gifts would be ideal in the next coordinator to meet these needs (please see attached document for the list of these).

We transitioned older members of the team who are now feeling called in a different direction their lives, as well as welcomed new members to the team to the "honking geese flying V". :) Finally, we "took our position in the community" and elected and are now sending forth our new coordinator.
On the third bullet point specifically, who are these people and this new coordinator, you might be wondering. :)

Firstly, we would like to thank Martin Ngo, Megan Lynch, and Quang Vu who have so graciously journeyed with the ministry team since last fall, and now are being called to serve more deeply in other areas of their lives. May our Lord continue to bless and guide them on their journey, and to know that they will always be welcomed and a part of the Dong Hanh family.

There are also some new members recently... please join us in welcoming Annie Dang, Thai Nguyen, and Minh Nguyen to the ministry team. You may remember them most recently from Project Runway and famous MC's at HMV/Emmaus TayNam over the past Labor Day weekend.

Last but not least, *drumroll please*........... we elected our new coordinator..... *more drumroll please*..... Alex Phan! :D Please join us in congratulating Alex as part of God's invitation to him to draw closer to Him through this role, and for the team as a whole... with the whole flock honking loudly from behind! ;) You might remember him recently at HMV/Emmaus TN with some cute bumblebee wings. :D

It was quite a packed, intense day.... very grateful to BHL and BPV and everyone in the DH family really, for their guidance, presence, and prayers for such a fruitful day. "What you dream alone remains a dream. What you dream with others can become a reality. What you dream with God indeed becomes reality. When you dream God's dream it is reality." Yay, we are dreaming and flying together!! May God's love through the Spirit continue to guide and strengthen us to grow deeper in community and more fully alive each day. :)

United in prayer and, as Cha Tri often says, looooooove,

Nhi and all of us in DH TayNam YaYA Ministries.
(*honk honk* guys, please feel free to add anything else... :D)
