Hey my beloved friends and family, I just wanted to give you
some updates on my life. Tomorrow
morning, at 5 a.m., I am taking the interns to The Bronx, for five days. Please, pray for our time as we will be
partaking in some really intense street ministry. Also, there is a possibility that we will be
able to gain access to an AIDS treatment center. Please pray that the doors would open into
this place for us. There has never been
a team allowed in the AIDS center yet.
We quite possibly could be paving the way for future teams to partner
with them and who knows what the Lord will do with this, but we need your
prayers.
In May, I might be going to Kenya with my boss, Scott, for
eight days to check and see if it is safe enough to start sending teams in
again. Kenya has been in complete
turmoil since the beginning of the year when there were questions of the legitimacy
of their presidential election. So far,
I have heard that there have been about 600,000 people displaced from all of
the strife. Adventures In Missions has been working to try
and send money to Pastors for relief, if you are interested in hearing more
about our involvement please check out this link, http://kenya.myadventures.org/
June 14, I am leading a trip to Peru, into the Amazon Jungle
for one month. After that, I don’t know
what’s next. In fact, when I return from
Peru, I will no longer have a place to live in Gainesville. I am praying what to do about this because I
really don’t want to move back to Ohio for two months. Then in September, I have two options on my
plate for what’s next. Option one, I can
go help lead a really intense 3 month training session in Nicaragua. It is called “The Awakening,” it is a 3 month
training and discipleship program where students are torn down and rebuilt with
a firm foundation on Christ. I feel like
this would be great training and experience for me and I would most likely
return to Kenya in January if I took part in the “Awakening.” Then there is the second option, where I
would return to Kenya and lead a 3 month trip there, and then most likely just
stay there. I am more than willing to do
either one of these options. However,
the deciding factor is how many students sign up for each program. Whatever program has the greatest need, will
probably be the one I end up leading, so please pray for this.
One last thing, my transmission went out on my car and I am
just updating you that I tore it out last weekend and replaced it with a used
transmission out in the parking lot of the AIM office. Now, it is better than ever, thanks so much
for all of your prayers
