Why I am a Winner in Scategories

So first off let me apologize for my
long silence this time out on the field. I have been very busy being
in leadership but I know that is not a very good excuse because you
have the right and need to know about the work that the Lord is doing
out here through your support and prayers for me.

 

In honor of my good buddy E, who called
me out on not having updated in a while I have decided to fill you in by
giving you, as he called it, “something clever.” Hence the title
of this blog and how I will spice up my narrative of the past couple
months with literations that would make me dominate in a game of
Scategories.

 

When last you heard from me I Told The
Tale (T 3pts) of how my wallet was Nicked in Nicaragua in November (N
3pts). After that we moved on for December to Costa Rica and Panama.

 

In the second week of December I was
welcomed at the border of Panama by team “Crash of Love” with
party hats and horns. The amazing pastor who was hosting us new the
men working the customs check point and so we got to pray with the
Panama border officials, party hats and all. I got to help in opening
a church in Guabito, Pnanama during my stay there. It was amazing to
be a part of a new work and see the Lord move and work in the very
first service at a new little church that we got ready and opened.
Many people came to the first few services and there were a couple
that found hope in Jesus Christ and gave their hearts to Him in the
first few days of the church’s history. What a Privilege to be Part
of a church Plant with a Pastor in Panama (P 5pts).

 

I spent some awesome time with the three teams there on the east coast of the country and then headed for an awesome two days in the mountains where I was welcomed by team Lionheart with a magic carpet ride. No seriously, they sang me “I Can Show You the World” and pulled me around the room on a carpet. It was awesome.

 

Back to Costa Rica for Cody’s Christmas
Cooking (C 4pts) and what a delicious feast it was. At our mini
debrief at the end of the month there our squad enjoyed a Costa Rican
Christmas Caroling Cantata (C 4pts) put on by themselves of course
and we changed teams around, raised up new leaders, and got ready to
head for Asia.

 

Throughout the past two months I have
seen the Lord move in many ways that would take pages and pages to
account. I have seen people’s lives grow and change before my eyes
and watched as this S squad that I have had the privilege to lead has
grown into coats that just weeks ago were too big for them and have
shed those coats for even bigger ones that the Lord has made for them
to grow into. I am truly excited about all that the Lord has in store
this next month and beyond and will have another report form the
Philippines soon. Thank you so much for your support and most of all
prayers and please keep them coming.

 

With that I bid you Ta Ta ‘Til Time To
Tell more Traveling Tales from Tim of Truth and Testimony (T 11pts).
PEACE!
