Friends and Family,
Pray! I am leaving January 4th, 2009 for Pichilemu, a small surfing town in the middle of Chile, where I will be living from Jan-March. I will be part of a DTS (Discipleship Training School) with Youth with a Mission, an international Christian youth- and missions-oriented ministry, and taking classes with students from all over the world in missions training, Biblical studies and ministry. Then the real work begins! Each DTS team is sent to a different country in South America or Africa to minister to a school, orphanage, church or community that needs practical aid but mostly just needs love and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
God has already begun a great work in me in Santa Barbara by giving me an obsession with learning Spanish, which He has already used to tell people I work with who He is - it’s so cool how God uses every little random experience and opportunity to His glory if we let Him! Now I am so excited to go somewhere new, learn more about His heart for the nations, do His work, surf and learn more Spanish.
Breathe a sigh of relief: this is not a support letter, God already provided everything I need to go to Pichilemu... but I NEED your prayers.
Please ask the Lord:
-for safety, smooth travels, health
-language acquisition :) por favor!
-my time in Pichilemu: friendships, classes, drawing near to the Lord
-my DTS team: unity, guidance to the right project/country, effectiveness
-my outreach: (either in S.America or Africa) : for soft hearts in all the people we will work with
-for everything to be done for God’s glory and bring people back to Him
Thank you so much for your prayers and love!
