Dear Friends and Family,
I hope you are all doing well. It has been a couple
of years since I have written so let me take a minute to tell you what I have
been up to. This is my second year working for the Springfield School District.
I’m a one on one aide for a young lady with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (Brittle
Bone Disease, like from the M. Night Shyamalan movie Unbreakable). This amazing job allows me access to the elementary schools and next year to a
middle school. I really believe God has me working with this precious
young lady for a reason.
Last year I had the honor to serve as the Children’s
Pastor for my church, Lively Stone Fellowship. I also worked with our youth.
Additionally, I was able to help with the Willamette Branch of Campus Life. I
am currently taking a break from these ministries.
This summer, at the end of June, I will be leading
my church’s efforts in Vacation Bible School. This year’s theme will be
Minecraft and I am excited to see what the Lord chooses to do this year. Last
year we had a Lego themed VBS and were able to reach many new children in our
neighborhood.

At the beginning of July my sister, Arielle, and
brother, Jamin, and I will be heading down to Mexico to spend 7 ½ weeks working
at the Imuris Kid’s Kingdom Orphanage. This is an amazing ministry that is a
part of God is on the Move, which is
a ministry affiliated with Open Bible Churches. God is on the Move ministers to three different prisons, a men’s
rehab, an orphanage, outreach projects, a church, a daycare, and convalescent
care. The orphanage has mainly older children and ranges from 15-30 children at
a time. Through this orphanage, they also run a daycare center for the mothers
in the community as well as a feeding ministry. Additionally, they are building
a church in the town of Imuris.
My name is Arielle
Goecker, I'm Krista's little sister. My Dad serves as a Chaplain in the United
States Air Force. In August, we moved from Japan to California. I've spent my
time since then doing school, babysitting, visiting family and settling into
our new home. In May, I will be turning seventeen and finishing up my third
year in High school. I'm super excited about this opportunity to go to Mexico
this summer.

| Jamin |
Hi, I’m Jamin! I look forward to my time in
Mexico because it is a chance to share the hope of Christ with people from
another culture. Currently, I am a graduate student at Angelo State University
and am preparing to be a diplomat or ambassador. This trip will be an excellent
opportunity for me to not only represent my country and immerse myself in
another society but also to be an ambassador for Christ. If I can be used to
positively impact just one life on this trip, then I will consider it a
success!
We are truly excited to see what God is going to do
this summer in Mexico. It should be a
God
filled time of ministry and relationship building. Please be in prayer for
Arielle, Jamin and I and all the ministries of God is on the Move. If you would like to financially support us in
addition to praying for us, you can send your tax deductible contribution to:

In Christ,
Krista, Jamin &
Arielle
Choosing Joy!
