Planänderung


Greetings ALL!
Here I wanted to give a brief update about some changes in Plans for this summer.

As you know, I myself was planning on going back to Germany this summer to work an internship with Cadence International. However, God's plan for
me this summer is a whole lot different and more exciting than I had anticipated.

This summer, I am called to stay in Sanford! As far as ministry, I'll be doing the exact same thing I would have been doing in Germany, only now it will be focused here in NC. I've already begun pouring into some of the High School guys here, and am extremely stoked for the opportunity to be involved in their lives this summer. I am going to keep this blog updated so that everyone can keep up with what's going on and how to pray for me this summer. I already see God moving as He is beginning a movement here in this town and is shaping my heart and life to reflect one of Service and of Love.


To those of you that have already sent support for
me, I want to let you know how thankful I am and how blessed I am to have raised as much as I did. The money sent in will remain in my account until I serve with Cadence International again. You may still send in support at anytime, and it will remain safe until later use!!

Thank you for everything, your continued support, your prayers, and your Love!!

Spenden

Greetings ALL! A quick update on the amount that I've raised for Germany!

Subtotal: $-73
Needed: Approx $5,073

Well the good news is that I'm enjoying Sanford, and the waiting process, while heart-wrenching, is good. If there's one thing I've learned, its that our timing is NOT God's timing!! So, me staying in Sanford, is the best thing that can happen for me right now.
I trust that I will raise the needed support, so I'm not worried, God's provision is coming!

A miracle is defined by a highly improbable or extraordinary event, development, or accomplishment. The raising of the money needed to get to Germany is at the moment highly improbable. But when it happens, I will proudly proclaim in the name of Christ that it was an extraordinary accomplishment!! One in which I cannot get glory, but God alone.

Love it!!

Thanks everyone for everything!

In all things: To GOD ALONE be the glory!!

Bescheidenen Anfängen und eine kleine Vorstellung


In my attempts to keep the world updated on my excursions, I've decided that keeping this online blog will help me keep my family and friends informed.
This summer, I'll be going to Germany. Wiesbaden, Germany! Yes ladies and gents, I'm going back home!
And yeah. I'm pretty hackin excited about it. But in all honesty, its an intimidating thing. This will be my first time back to Germany in 7 years and needless to say, its a different country than when I left it. I'll admit, I've sort of idealized the country and I'm afraid its gonna be a pretty abrupt wake up call to my memories of the place. But, on the other hand, it may be 100 times better than I recall, in which case I'm not complaining. :) Oh the pains we inflict upon ourselves eh?

If you're not aware of what I'm doing, I'll be working with Cadence International Student Ministries helpin out the military youth in Wiesbaden by leading in worship, working with small groups, and planning all sorts of wicked awesome projects.
One of the coolest things is that Dan, the missionary I'm workin with, is the same missionary that worked with me when I was a little youth kid. Oh boy is there gonna be some catchin up to do. He asked me, "What do you want to get out of this internship?" And well its simple really. (well maybe not)
Long story short: This trip is going to let me know if God's calling me to long-term mission work. I have a heart for ministry and seeing lives changed and the longer I go through College, the more I can't see myself doing anything but working full-time ministry. So We shall SEEEEE!!

What I ask from you would be to just keep me in prayer. Pray for the Spirit’s wisdom and guidance while I’m in a new environment. Pray for peace and contentment while I’m away from my friends and family. Pray that God will do amazing things in the hearts and lives of the students I come in contact with, and finally pray for His name to be glorified in everything we do!!! LOVE YOU GUYS!!
