Summer Mission Trip 2010

Dear friends!

Thank you so much for your willingness to read more about my quick approaching trip. What I covet most in telling you all the things that you will find below is your prayers. We are commanded to pray! Matthew 6:8 shows that the Father already knows what we need – he knows that I need support, protection, the guidance of His Holy Spirit, correction, and endurance – but we are still commanded to pray!  So in everything you are about to read – pray. But because this world has this silly system of money, I have to ask that you prayerfully consider giving as well! God answers prayers through the hands and feet of His body here on earth. That is the Church – that’s you! So consider giving. All I ask is that you think about giving $1. That’s all. If you feel like giving one, two, or three, or even ten… that would be much appreciated. Any amount helps. Now on to the details!

I will be leaving for Southeast Asia on June 16th. The main objective of this trip is to teach English to middle and high school students. That being said, I must say that of course our objective as Christians should always be to preach the gospel through our words and actions at all times. I have an amazing opportunity to spend time with students who will prayerfully hear the gospel in an environment where they are eager to learn.

I will first be going to Thailand, where I will be working at the same school that I visited three years ago. I never thought that I would get the opportunity to go back to the very same school and invest in the lives and relationships that were started on that trip. God is so good! A team will then be joining me at the beginning of July. We will have a short vision trip around Thailand and Laos before we head on to South Korea in order to teach a three week English camp. I will get to spend three weeks investing in the lives of one group of students. What an amazing opportunity for people to hear the gospel and get to know adults who are living for the Lord. My team and I will then return to the States in early August.

You may have heard about all of the things that are going on in Thailand and Korea right now. Please be in prayer that the trip will not in any way be affected by the problems that are there right now.

Thank you so much for your time. I will try my best to keep you updated as time goes on. If you are interested in giving, there is a secure link below that will allow you to donate directly to my PayPal account either with your own PayPal or with a credit card. Of course, you are always welcome to give in person! Cash or check will both work just fine. If you are unable to give on PayPal or in person, please let me know and I will gladly send you my address.

For those that are interested I am trying to raise $1000 in support by the time I leave (June 16th). This will cover the remainder of my travel expenses and food and travel in country. If you would like any more information about my trip, please feel free to leave a comment on this post or email me at oneofhisheep@gmail.com. God bless you all!
