This month has been different from past months and it has been stretching me as I have been adjusting to a new routine.
Podcast
I got to be a part of a podcast! It was recorded in January, but was just released on March 3rd.
This podcast covers:
Growing up years
Testimonies
Education
Some of the good and the hard of MK life
What is home?
Involvement in Ethnos360 MK Care
It was awesome for me to be able to discuss these topics with two other missionary kids, Bithyah and Lael. You can find it by looking up Ethnos360 MK Care on the platform you use to listen to podcasts, or use this link for Spotify.
What the Lord has been teaching me
I have been reading through the book of Ephesians in my personal time with the Lord. It has been so encouraging and challenging!! A couple passages that I have been reflecting on over and over again are Ephesians 1:3-8 and Ephesians 1:22-23 (pictured right for computers and below for mobile). Ephesians 1:3-8 talks about God’s love for us and things that He has blessed us with. I am so extremely blessed by the Lord in all aspects of my life! I am so grateful for all He has done for me, and I hope you can be encouraged by this too. In Ephesians 1:22-23, I was reminded that the Church is made complete by Christ. This was such encouragement to me as I know that I will always fall short of perfect; and yet, in and through Christ I will be able to accomplish all that the Lord has called me to.
I am going to be visiting Iowa for the last weekend in March. If you are interested in connecting, I would love to set up a time to talk while I am in Iowa from March 27th to 31st. Please email me here to set up a time to get together. I am looking for a job, building a community in Wisconsin, and continuing in-person dating.

If I have not had the opportunity to meet you or interact with you, welcome! My name is Avalon Luse and I am serving with Ethnos360 as a part of MK Care, which serves missionary kids and their families so that the gospel can go out to all people.
I grew up as a missionary kid overseas in Papua New Guinea. Starting when I was one-year old until I graduated high school when I was nineteen. This experience gave me a passion for missions and a heart for missionary kids. If you are interested in more of my story checkout my website using the QR code in the connect with me section.
