FIRST OFF

I am sorry that I have not been updating this blog as much as I had hoped I would. Free time is scarce here. But the time I have spent here is blessed all around!

OUTREACH

Thus far, we have held three outreach sessions. We went out to the street corners by Harvard Square and Copley Square in downtown Boston. Some leaders played music while we handed out free hot chocolate and offered prayer to people. For the second outreach, we went to an apartment complex in Waltham, the town where we live. Our team split into groups of three and went door to door to sing Christmas carols and pray for people. One girl rededicated her life to Christ and many people were blessed. After going to every door, we put on a show in the middle of the complex. A couple of our guys did crazy flips and tricks. Other team members did a few choreographed dances. We performed a skit about Jesus taking the blame for our sins. The kids loved it! A couple weeks later we returned to the neighborhood to follow up on the people and see how they were doing. They were so excited to see us again!

CHRISTMAS WITH THE MORGANS

I experienced my first white Christmas in Richmond, Virginia with one of our team member's family. There were 13 people in this family! They reminded me of my family haha. We arrived at the Boston bus station at 4:30am and 20 hours later tucked ourselves cozily in bed at the Morgan household in Richmond. Our days of travel were grueling but well worth it.

VALENTINE'S DAY AND BEYOND

Our team leaves for outreach down the East Coast on February 14^th. We will be performing a show called “Encounter” in several community churches as we tour along the East Coast. (Please pray that God will provide a reliable source of transportation for this trip.) The performance is a compilation of dance, music and a skit that tells the story of creation. During the tour we will also do urban outreach and go door to door. Our mission to the United Kingdom, specifically Northern Ireland, Scotland and England, will consist of the same type of community outreach. I am so excited to see what God has in store for both the East Coast and United Kingdom outreach!

GOD IS BIGGER

Thank you for all the prayer and financial support from you. I praise God for your faithful financial support that has provided for about two thirds of the total expenses of the YWAM training and outreach. There is a remaining financial need of $2,000 for me to complete the outreach. Please pray for my team as several of my team members are also in need of additional financial support to complete the outreach. While the total financial need for our team seems large, we know that God is bigger than financial mountains! Please prayerfully consider providing additional financial support for me so together we can help fulfill God’s will to preach the gospel to every person. I count it a privilege to partner with you through this ministry opportunity!

CHEERS

My love goes out to all of you! I hope your holidays were joyful and fulfilling! Until I write again, I bid you all the best of days to come!

Peace, Love and Doves
