Mission Adventures


With the mission adventures high school groups coming on site for outreach training, we moved into our new house near the base yesterday. Im sharing a room with Callie. Its a cute house, big, just old and in need of repair but were close to this awesome little park that callie derek and i went to last night. Today were getting stuff ready for mission adventures. the first team comes tonight and the second team tomorrow night. We are decorating, making nametags, welcome packets, welcome cards and lots more. im getting excited i just cant wait until the kids get here!!! After the lecture phase which is about 4 days, we will be taking the kids on a week long mission trip to Mt. Isa. It is a small mining town with many different types of people who go there seeking to work in the mines. It is quite an apathetic and fatalistic place as most children grow up with their only plan to work in the mines for the rest of their lives. Please pray that this spirit of hopelessness and apathy would be lifted and that our team would be able to bring a freshness in the hope of Christ.

Bula!!!!! (thats hi in fijian)

Hey everyone!!
Wow, God has been working on my heart today. Outreach fees are due this friday and i started freaking out today because i didnt know where the heck i was going to get $3360 from by friday. Well, I have learned to have faith that God will provide. I know that God is generous and wants to bless his children but that was more head knowledge than something i actually believed in my heart. God has really challenged me today to give up control and anxiety and trust completely in him to provide. I have no idea how God will do it, but I have laid it down at his feet and i KNOW in my heart that every cent will come in. I've heard so many stories about how God has provided for people but I never really believed that He would do that for me. My question now is WHY NOT???? I know it is his will for me to spread the gospel therefore i know that he will provide the means to do so. I am excited to see the ways in which He will provide and bless all of the students on dts. Thanks for reading!!!
