Well, I finally made it over! I actually arrived on Tuesday
morning, but this is my first evening off since I’ve been here, so I thought
now would be a good time to update you all.
I’ve been to a couple of meetings with the young people over
here and things have gone about as expected: kids being kids. A lot of these
kids are new Christians (which is amazing!) so they are asking a lot of
questions trying to figure out what they believe. It’s awesome to see this
stage of Christianity, especially with all these young people exploring God for
themselves. I grew up around mostly Christians, and while I have done youth
ministry before, it was mostly mentoring young people who have already accepted
Christ. This is a whole new experience
for me and I look forward to learning more about God on this journey. I always
feel like you learn more about a subject when you teach and have to explain
that subject to someone else. Please pray that God gives me wisdom and
opportunities to share and talk about His love to others.
All this has been great for a first week , but unfortunately
it’s not going to last if my finances don’t come through. For those who would like to donate on a
monthly basis here is a chart on how much I’ll need for the basics on a monthly
basis. It would be extremely helpful if you would commit to donating for a need
that will be coming up:
Rent per month: $430
Bills per month: $362
Food per month: $172
Transportation per month: $52
Plane ticket home: $1,000
