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".
