Learning How to fly…like an Eagle!

Well, its that time again, to give you an update since my last blog, which I wrote last January 2013. My life has been pretty busy (and Im sure yours has been too). From working at the Mayo Clinic Hospital to my involvement with Soma Church co-leading a Bible study, helping younger men grow in their personal relationship w/ GOD to extra-curricular activities (camping & hiking). Even though all this has been very enjoyable, I have found myself to be in a place of complacency and comfortablenessdesiring more from life, but most importantly, more from GOD.

This brings me to share with you the next adventure that GOD is calling me to and that is going to a ministry training school called School of Eagles  (www.schoolofeagles.com). I will be attending for a total of 3 full months (July thru September) and its located in Bellingham, Washington. Please feel free to check it out for yourselves. I will be gaining  experience, spiritual insight, training and a deeper understanding & growth in my relationship with GOD and others. 

I desire more than anything, to become the man God desires me to be. This requires leading in different aspects of life, be it in marriage, community, missions or ministry. School of Eagles will aid in the development of myself, and provide counsel to help grow me and heal me in areas that need attention so that I can put my best foot forward as God directs my steps. My heart is to lead any and all-to be all that God created them to be, toknow and to live the abundant life that Jesus died to give us.  I am learning this in my life more and morewhile also learning that God desires depth and intimacy with each one of us. And in this, realizing that I can’t lead if I haven’t walked a similar road. God’s got me on a new path and I pray that you will join me.

My projected date for leaving is July 6, 2013, but I still have much to prepare for. I would once again invite you to prayerfully consider helping me through one of two ways:

 

1.    Committing to pray for me, my finances and for what GOD is going to do in and through this training academy or/and;

2.    Committing to help me financially as GOD would put on your heart to give. I need to raise $2,200 for attending this academy (school, room & board).

 
 

If you have any questions, comments or want to help support me please contact me personally at (602)299-2792 at [email protected] or on facebook.

With your help, I know this will prepare me for what GOD is calling me to for HIS future plans. I truly believe School of Eagles will provide the needed training and will equip me to be the godly leader that HE is raising me up to be in order to make an eternal impact for HIS Kingdom!

I will keep you updated as to how your investment in me is in turn furthering Kingdom work.  My heart is called to full time ministry and if you know anything of me and my heart… it is a great joy to serve our Father in reaching His children… lost or ones who desire connection in a deeper measure.  My prayer is to learn to best lead them back to HIM.

Thank you for your time, consideration of your support and most importantly, for your prayers, which are powerful and accomplish much!

 

Sincerely,
 
Derek
