May Update

Hello!  Thank you for logging on to my blogspot!  I like to keep you up-to-date on what's happening.

I need to send a BIG shout-out to my Home Team!  They knocked it out of the park on Friday, May 15th with a beautiful prayer vigil at St. Paul UMC!  It gave God all the glory!  Kudos need to go to Heidi Griffiths who guided the team in how to do a prayer vigil and helped serve by hosting the Home Team table, Darlene Coburn for single handedly taking charge and seeing this project through to the end, Rebecca Carefoot and Mary Vaughn for all of their extra typing, printing and advertising.  Everyone on the team (Darlene, Rebecca, Mary, Megan, Matt, Judy, Patsy, and Evelyn) worked hard to set up a beautiful table and then take the time to man it.  It is very much appreciated.  Since it was candlelight the pictures aren't that great but I did want to share some of the better ones with you.   Thank you, guys for doing this, and thank you, thank you, thank you for those that stopped by to pray on a rainy night!

What's next?  I'll be spending the next few weeks working on fundraising.  I still need several of God's people to help with financial requirements.  Please contact me if you would like for me to speak with you 1:1, a small group, or church about my ministry and how you can help.  If you still would like to send a gift click on The Mission Society logo and it will take you directly to my secure account site.  Remember gifts given through The Mission Society are tax deductible.

In July I will be going to India for cross-cultural training through The Mission Society.  I'll be in Colorado Springs for all of August for further cross-cultural training learning how to learn a foreign language (which I will need to learn Arabic and Kakwa), and more training in living in a different culture.  September will bring me home to prepare for deploying October 8.

Please continue to pray for me as I continue to prepare for this awesome journey.  The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.  James 5:16
