Welcome to our first newsletter of 2020! We are excited for all that the Lord has in store for us and our ministry this year! The last two months have been crazy; crazy good, crazy sad, and just crazy in general. We pray that all of you enjoyed quality time with your friends and families, and that January provided space for refreshment and a return to a new normal.

Shortly after Christmas Paris and I were able to sit down and reflect on 2019 and spend some time planning and dreaming for this new year. We made some small achievable goals for our marriage, our ministry and our finances. There's wisdom in the past that drives us to a smarter and healthier future. 2019 was a challenging year for us, full of movement and change, but the Lord was ever so present in all of it and we're believing for a fruitful and and blessed 2020.

DECEMBER & JANUARY
The end of the year is always one of the busiest times of the year for us. We had appreciation dinners, game nights, outreach events, cookie baking, staff transitions, and CHRISTMAS! January brought new programming, restored connections, and refreshed creativity.
Take a look at some of our favorite moments!

NEW LOGO & WEBSITE
If you haven't heard, Outpour has a new logo and redesigned website. Paris spent countless hours (a lot of them between 12am-3am) working on ways to encompass Outpours past, present and future into an image that represents our foundation well.

🙏Prayers🙏
1. Family - On January 19th Lauren's grandma (Gammy) left the Earth to join our Father in a pain-free heaven. Please be praying for Lauren's mom (Beth) and the rest of her family as they grieve and process this loss in the coming weeks and months.
2. Preparation - Our first Seeds intern arrives tomorrow! His name is Brendan and he will be with us for 3 months. Please pray for his time here, that God would speak to him and use him!
AND
Valley Christian High School, from San Jose California, will be visiting for a week in February. Please pray for safe travels for them, that the Lord would speak in and through them during their time here, and for divine connections!
