Amazing God

My heart overflows with gratitude for the support so many people have blessed me with.  I am truly humbled and thankful.  God is so faithful and over the last couple of months has brought in an overwhelming amount of support.  MUCHAS GRACIAS to all of you who have taken part in this.  You are a blessing!  

It has been amazing to watch Him work.  I know that He is constantly at work among us and in us, but it has been a tremendous blessing to witness His involvement in this support raising process and preparation for Spain in such a tangible and personal way.  

The Lord has answered so many of our prayers.  Not only has He provided nearly all the finances necessary for me to go, but He has brought it in quickly so that I am able to free up from my job and plan accordingly.  I am so grateful.  I have purchased my plane ticket and am due to arrive in Salamanca on the 15th of September (my original target date) to begin training!

Please pray that the rest of my time here be productive and filled with blessings as I say goodbye to people for the next 9 months.  Hoping this finds each of you well.

I'm On My Way...

After finishing up with school, I was faced with the question that all recent graduates are faced with: What am I going to do now? For me, the answer had always been lingering in my mind. Missions.

While studying abroad in Spain my junior year of school, God grew a passion in me for the students that gathered in Salamanca from all around the globe to study in one of Spain's most well-known and prestigious universities, the University of Salamanca. Among the many Spanish students that enter through this ministry's doors are students from all over Europe and Latin America. It is truly in a unique location where God's Word can reach people from several different countries, cultures and backgrounds. After developing relationships with the students and a heart for the ministry there, it wasn't long before I knew God would be calling me back...

And now, the process has begun. I'm on my way. To respond to the call and passion that God has so heavily placed on my heart. I will be joining a team of missionaries dedicated to sharing the Gospel with these university students. For the first time since graduating, I feel certain about God's plan for my life. Despite the obstacles to overcome, I feel at peace about what I am doing and what God is doing in me. I'm on my way.

God has blessed me in so many ways through this process of raising support. I have met new people. I have learned new things about my brothers and sisters and about myself. I want to thank those of who have come along side me in supporting this ministry through prayer and financial support. I praise God for giving us the Church; a body of believers who set out to encourage, support and love one another. Praise Him.
