Enough said, but really, I'd like to tell you about some things that have happened recently.
So, as you may know, I will be, God willing, going to East Asia this summer on a mission's project. So, I've had to prepare to, well there's no way to sugar coat this, ask people for money. Of course, that's not all I'm asking for, I mean, if I was only asking for money then I would be in it for the wrong reasons and it wouldn't be because of God. I mean we need to ask God for His provision and blessing and that the whole thing will go well, but I digress.
It is very biblical having a group of others supporting you in your ministry. All the Levite's back in the old testament relied on God's provision, Jesus sent out the disciples with nothing, Paul relied on gifts from others, etc. So, we had a Bible study the other day about that. As we were having it a pastor (well, not for a few years, but he's been called to seminary) walked over and asked if we were having a Bible study and asked if he could join us. At the time it was like, ok, random guy, that's cool. He actually barely even recognized one of the three of us, so really, he was basically a stranger to us, all of us, but ya. He really encouraged us. He was saying how it was so bold to be having a Bible study in the Unicentre and how on first impression we're really relying on God and he prayed for us and everything. I'm really glad he showed up randomly. lol.
So, ya. Today I gave my friend from Film class a support letter and she was so excited for me and said she would definitely pray for us and help me financially. I barely get to talk to her 10 minutes each week, and that is only the weeks that she comes to class and stays for the movie, but ya. It's pretty amazing how the random friendships I've made can be so encouraging and amazing. She's been talking for a while about coming to a C4C Weekly Meeting, but we haven't had too many deeper conversations, but even through texting after she got picked up we had a good conversation.
Also, I saw a bunch of kids respond to an alter call on Saturday night and give their lives to Christ. And I've made a bunch of friends and seen how important prayer is.
God is Amazing and I can't wait to see how much more He will do this summer. I hope you guys can pray for me too.
Thanks!

ReplyDeleteSuch an awesome request, buddy! My prayer is that there will be a love amongst the people in your ministry, that you will each pray for one another daily. Share with each other what you're reading in the bible daily. Encourage each other with words that breathe life daily.
God didn't send the disciples out alone.
