Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ!
God continues to show His faithfulness in so many ways as I prepare for this next chapter! This season has held both challenges and blessings, and I can see His hand gently guiding me through each one.
Change has been a major theme in my heart. My life will shift significantly when I move to Southern California, and these past few months have been filled with packing, planning, praying, and intentionally spending time with people I deeply love.
I am continuing to work as a Home Health nurse (LPN) through November as I help my patients transitionâmany of whom have become dear friends. Saying goodbye to them will be difficult, but Iâm grateful for the time weâve had.
Iâve also continued serving with Hope Has No Borders, whose mission is to âprovide humanitarian relief and community support to individuals as they transition from crisis to HOPE.â This group of strong, justice-seeking women has been such an inspiration to me. Recently, weâve been focusing on helping with legal documents on Tuesday evenings, and on November 25th I will be teaching another CPR/First Aid class in Spanish!
The One Body class at Denver Friends Church continues to be one of the greatest blessings in my week. We are a bilingual class with a steady 15â20 people, and the Holy Spirit is clearly moving among us. We learn from one another, share deeply, and celebrate how God is transforming lives. Most Sundays, we end up spending the entire day together! We support one another through birthdays, hardships, housing needs, car repairs, meals, and prayer. Please continue praying for this unique and beautiful communityâthat they would grow in unity, empowerment, and a deepening relationship with Jesus.
I also had the privilege of attending two community gatherings with Seeds of Exchange, a collective of everyday people using their stories and gifts to make a global and local impact. It has been life-giving to participate, even briefly. I also reconnected with a long-time friend, Shamso, a refugee from Somalia who has survived incredible hardship and now advocates powerfully for others. She wrote The Jungle Didnât Kill Me, and Iâm excited to see the connection forming between her and this group!
Community & Celebration
Iâm having a Friendsgiving Feast and Farewell Party to gather all the wonderful people Iâve grown to love during my time in Denver. If you are in Denver on November 29th, from 2â8 PM (eat at 5 PM), you are invited to join us! Weâll have games, laughter, good food, and a time of prayer to send me off.
Iâm also continuing to fundraise through homemade desserts like quesillo (flan), choco flan, tres leches, cinnamon rolls, and cookies. I am currently 40% fundedâpraise the Lord! Please continue praying for Godâs provision and creative opportunities to invite others into this journey. Would you also consider supporting me monthly as I follow God in this next season?
God is moving powerfully and reminding me again and again that He opens doors no one can shut. I am so thankful for each of you who continues to partner with me through prayer, encouragement, and support. You are a vital part of this story.
With deep gratitude and anticipation for all that God will do,
Cassi Coleman
