Brazil Missions Trip ‘08

News updates of the ministry and the adventure!

What God is doing

Hey, just wanted to let you guys in on what God is doing in my life.

Well, God has really been teaching me a lot about ministry and how it works when the mission team is not here.

My favorite part about this trip is seeing Christians who love the Lord and fellow-shipping with them and having a bond with them even though I can’t communicate.

Please pray for me as God is stretching me in many ways.  I won’t put them all up here, but suffice it to say that God is trying to teach me patience. 

My Devos have been some of my favorite times of day when I can get alone and be with God.  I need those times just so I can lay on God whats been going on and how I need Him.  I have yet to walk away from one of my devo sessions and not feel at peace. 

As I attempt to put on the righteousness of God, I am reminded daily how far I am from God and how much I need him.

I am nothing with out Him.  I find my self here so often running back to God when I start getting to big for my britches and I begin to fall.

In my weakness, God shows himself to me.  So I guess you could say that I am trying hard every day to find points where I am weak so God can work

Please, as I said, pray for me as I continue in Gods path for my life.  Now, the path is taking me through Brazil, and I am taking in as much as I can.

That’s cool man…keep making it real. I think the hardest thing for me is when I get back…so grow close now so you cannot help but be close to Him when you are back. I;m really excited for you and this opportunity that God has laid out for you.

That’s great to hear what God’s doing. I’m really glad that you’re getting this opportunity.

I’m with Josh on this one, you gotta be careful when you come home so you don’t crash. Build up now and level out so you’re not riding a high when you get back.
