Preparation to return

Well as many of you know I recently sent out letters again. I am going over to Slovakia again this summer to lead a team of Interns there. As I have been thinking about this summer I have been trying to prepare myself for the ways God would like to use me this summer. In my church group I have been learning more about God's love for us in 1 John. It is always encouraging and refreshing to me to be remind of how much God loves me despite my effort. I have been meeting with some of the guys that I have been mentoring for years and have been trying to help them process graduation coming up and what life will be like in college and how they will have to be even more disciplined in their faith in the ever changing world around them. I also have the opportunity to go on vacation with my family. My brother is bringing one friend from school with him. I am hoping that this can be a great opportunity with them. Many young people go on spring break and get in trouble. I hope that this spring break for my brother and his friend will be a time of growth and fun spiritually. As I go into the next couple weeks in preparation please pray for my protection. The enemy is always stronger in his attacks the closer I get to God and the more I serve Him. Also remember to pray for all the young believers going on Spring Break this next week that God will protect them and they will cling to God and not their desire to "have fun".

High School Again

Yesterday I went and spoke at Blackhawk Christian where I went to High School. I was there to tell them about Slovakia and about missions and to try and motivate them to look into what God may have for their lives and his ministry. As for me I am still in the process of learning what God has for me in the future whether it is in Slovakia or here. I have been learning a lot about being content and serving and ministering wherever you are. I feel like I have been growing closer to God through the last couple weeks and really getting to know him better. I hope that I will know soon which direction the Lord has for me. Right now I am still substitute teaching and discipling the senior guys that I have been ministring to the last 7 years. I am also going back for the summer to Slovakia to help out with camps again. I hope that this might also provide further understanding about my future and God's plans. Continue to pray for this future and for the camps this summer!
