Where we went for shots...

I know...it's scary.

Thank you!

Thanks to all of you who were a part of this gift. I can't express how I appreciated it. I miss all of you very much and I appreciate your creativeness. Everyone here was jealous and enjoyed reading your fantastic comments, especially the part about trading lumber for sheep as pretty much everyone can relate. You are a blessing!

Hakani

This week we had the privilege to view an unreleased, upcoming film on infanticide in native tribes in Brazil. This documentary/drama is about a girl named "Hakani" who was buried alive as a small girl (as per usual practice) simply because she couldn't walk and was considered an "evil spirit". She was saved by her younger brother and is a bright, funny little girl today. She was able to be here and I got to meet her. It was amazing to see the fruit of God's love for her. This film was created to raise awareness about this tribal practice and if you wish to learn how you can help please visit http://www.hakani.org.

Better late than never...

It feels like forever since I've updated you about what's going on here. The Internet here was down for awhile and I have also been swamped with all kinds if activity. There is so much to tell! First, God has provided me with all the money I needed to pay for my tuition to YWAM!! It's an amazing story that I don't want to explain here as I would rather share it in person, but briefly, God used people in Calgary, Alberta, Canada who had no idea who I was, as well as all of you, to fulfill my need. I asked for a miracle and God showed up. I am so grateful and I no longer have any excuse to not trust God to provide.

My time lately as been spent on classwork, outreach to the Denver community on Monday nights, and preparing dramas and worship for our outreach. I leave for San Fransisco in two weeks, so I'm in crunch time. Please pray that our group will be diligent in our practice times. I'm extremely excited to be getting on the road and see what God will do through our group, especially in the 10/40 window.

This past week we had Fred Markert (pronounced "Market") teaching on "Evangelism & Missions". Fred is one of the top mission strategists in the world and it was a complete privilege to hear him speak. He has visited over 175 countries and is the most passionate and confident missionary I have ever heard. I could go on with countless stories of how God has worked miracles for and by Fred, but for security reasons, I cannot tell of them here. If you ever get a chance to hear him speak do not miss the opportunity. He shared many astounding statistics concerning world missions (you can find most of them at http://www.globalchristianity.com if you're interested) but what I enjoyed the most was that every hour spent sharing the Gospel in the 10/40 window yields 110 times more converts than in North America. Since 80% of our outreach is in the 10/40 window, I am excited to see a great impact for Christ.

Thank you all for your time and support. I love hearing from you, so please contact me if you would like to. I promise to respond as quickly as I can. Please pray for me as I am still in need of funds to purchase travel insurance and I need to have a tooth repaired before I leave the country, as well as many other small needs. I trust God will provide and the prayers of the saints will make it possible. I pray that the Lord encourages and blesses all that you do and that He will refresh you with His friendship.
