Life is good..The people are good...and the food is great!

So many of you have probably been wondering "Where in the world is Callie RIGHT NOW??"...haha...and I will tell you. RIGHT NOW I am still in the states, however I am VERY pleased and excited to tell all of you that come April 21st I will be on a plane soaring across the skies to a land NOT flowing with milk and honey...haha...yet an amazing land none the less.

I will be returning to Baku, Azerbaijan where I will be following up with many of my friends and former students while also teaching English clubs/tutoring on the side, and doing some research on what it would take to start a Coffee "Life" House in Baku and if something like that would be a good way to invest in the lives of the Azerbaijani people.

I am also VERY pleased to say that a dear friend of mine by the name of Leilah will also be joining me on this trip and we pray that together God can and will use us in ways that are beyond our carnal comprehension.

Right now I am still working at the Creation Museum where I will continue to work and save until it is time for me to leave. Praise the Lord that they are willing to allow me to take this time to go to the uttermost parts of the world while still assuring me that I may return back to work when it is time to do so.

I am REALLY excited about this trip and I know that God is going to do something amazing while I am gone. Please continue to keep me in your prayers. Here is a small list of prayer needs as of right now:

Pray for spiritual protection for Leilah and myself.
Health.
Safety.
Finances.
My family and Leilah's while we are gone.

Thank you all so much for your prayers and support. Please keep following me as I continue to follow after Him and the callings He has placed on my life. I love you all. God bless!

Until all have heard,
Callie
