What a month! I can
honestly say that none of us knew what God was up to and what He was going to
serve us next but one thing is for sure, which is that His kingdom was expanded
from our work in Mogollon. So regardless
of some miscommunication and feelings of ineffectiveness from language barriers
and frustration from never knowing what was going to happen until about 30
seconds before it actually did, month two was definitely a success! I even got to preach last Sunday for my first time! My message connected the ideas of having a Spirit within us that is meant to shine and how living in community in Christ with people who are bold in their faith makes it easier to let that light shine freely. At the end, we taught them “This little light of mine” in Spanish.
San Juan is AWESOME.
It will always be on my list of places to return as often as
possible. Maybe it’s because we were
uprooted from our ministry location in month one and this was the first time we
spent a solid month in one place but it’s much harder to pack up my emotions
this month and move on to Ireland. It
really does feel like home here!
Regardless of those feelings, though, I know that time is
not going to stop and I’ll be stepping off the plane in Dublin in less than 36
hours. The Awakening is going to be an
awesome experience for all of us… over 300 World Racers from all over the globe
coming together in fellowship and community for a week of worship! We’ll all be camping in the same camp ground,
from what we know, so there are sure to be some crazy stories.
I’m definitely looking forward to some fishing, hiking and
adventurous dining in our down time, too! The camp ground is said to have wi-fi but
with 300+ people clogging the airwaves, I’m not sure how accessible it will
really be. I’ll do my best to keep you
all updated on what I’m doing, though.
On a separate note, we are still in a constant battle with
financial deadlines for fundraising and two of my teammates, Kameron and Lauren, could REALLY use
your help! If they are not caught up
soon, they may be sent home and I can honestly say that I feel that God has it
in His will for both of them to be on the race.
With that comes faith that their funding will come, as long as people
are listening and acting on that little voice of the Spirit telling them to
act.
I love you all and I hope that you will continue to pray for
me and let me in on what’s going on with you and your families through emails and comments!
