Fasting on Wednesday!

Hello everyone! I just wanted to let you know that I will be fasting for my Visa this Wednesday, January 31st! I sent out an email explaining things and asking for my supporters to fast with me as well! I have had some people respond already and I am very excited and encouraged by that! Let me know if you have any prayer requests that you want me fasting about on Wednesday!

All to Glorify God,

Test Video

Video Capability Added!

Well, now that I have discovered the beauty of videos, I don't think pictures will ever be the same. Hopefully I will be able to figure out how to post these videos directly into the blog rather than as page elements on the side. I hope to have videos once every few months so you have more to see than just text and pictures. Hope you enjoy!

Online Photo Album!

Blogger has recently added a way to link my photo albums to my online journal. On the links portion of the page to the right, you can click and access my photo album. I plan to keep this updated once on the field so you will be able to see some of the pictures I have taken. This will serve as another resource in addition to my newsletter to keep you informed of what I am doing in Venezuela! Right now, I just have a few trial photos in the album. When I get pictures from my Mexico trip I will update the album. Thanks for the continued prayers and support!

God Bless,
Matt Johnson

Another Great Trip!

Well, the trip to Juarez, Mexico was a huge success. We were able to build houses for two families as well as present them with some house warming gifts. I really enjoyed the opportunity to serve and brush up on my Spanish in the process. I will definitely post some pictures when I get them. Right now I am in Minnesota visiting with my future Venezuelan roommate. Well, he isn't Venezuelan, but I will be living with him when I head down there. I will update you all soon. I will also be sending out my 2006 end of the year report shortly as well. Thanks for all the continued prayers and support!
All the Glory to God,

Matt Johnson
