Louisville and LSCA

Well, the past week I have been in Louisville, KY. I spent some time with the new summer interns with Team Expansion this year. I was good to meet other people that have a heart for missions and are excited about serving God! I had a few chances to sit down with the interns going to Venezuela and answer some questions for them. I also spent the week hanging out with some very good friends of mine. These are friends that I could possibly be serving with in Argentina some day. We have a dream to start a coffee shop and target college age as well as young adults.
Well, staff training starts this week for summer camp. It will be exciting to meet other staff members. This is the last week before campers begin showing up. I am still in the support raising process and training to obtain my visa. I currently have 40% of my budget raised. Please pray that God would continue to provide supporters! Please also pray that my visa would go through quickly!! Thanks for your prayers! God Bless.

Back on the Fundraising Trail!

Well, now that I am back from Colorado it is time to really push fundraising till I leave in August. I have about 70% left. This seems like a lot but I know it is very acheivable and God will provide! I have a meeting Saturday May 20th with Rochester Christian Church, and Tuesday May 23rd with West Side Christian Church. Please pray that God would speak through me as I cast a vision for His ministry in Venezuela! Thanks for all your prayers and continued support. I also found out that I am going to be the missionary for First CC in Jacksonville's VBS. This means I am presenting for Kindergarten-6th Grade. God Bless! To God goes all the Glory!

Back Home!

Well, MTI was quite the experience these last three weeks in Colorado. I can't begin to tell you everything that I learned. It was so exciting to live in Christian community these last three weeks. What a blessing! Well, summer is finally here. I start working at Lake Springfield Christian Assembly soon. I will be there all summer and working as the groundskeeper. I really look forward to staying in touch with my supporting churches and forming new relationships during the summer. I have to finish up my support raising as well this summer, so I plan to be pretty busy. Please keep praying that God would form new ministry partnerships so that I can meet my departure date of August 17th! To God goes all the Glory!
