An Awesome Half of Week...

What a week...and it's only half way over.

The Counselors and Staff from SIFAT arrived late monday night. All day Tuesday and Wednesday was spent serving Verbo Ministries (local spanish church). There were 2 work projects that we focused on the past two days...



The first was painting the inside of Verbo Church in Kenner....



The second was helping Verbo Church on the Westbank with digging a ditch in the front of the church. While doing that, Nate (SIFAT campus director) found there to be a leak in the fire hydrant in front of the church. This is reason for the problems that the church has when it rains.

The pastors of both of these churches were blessed by what SIFAT was able to do while they were here. To have 15 random people show up and say 'what can we do?' and then have those same people help for free was definitely a blessing.








Last night was an awesome night (as usual) at iTuesday. We had the most people we have ever had. 62 people showed up last night to pack into a 400 square foot garage and worship God. It was amazing.



We were blessed to have Raphael, a pastor from Nigeria, with us. He shared a message with us about Andrew, brother of Simon Peter. Raphael shared about how Andrew served God faithfully behind the scenes. It was an awesome message that encouraged us to get involved as much as we can in our local community and more-so in our own families.

Tonight, me and some friends took the trip with SIFAT to Picayune, Mississippi to hang out with our friends at FUMC there. I didn't think i was going to see these guys again before i leave for India in a week and a half, and i was blessed to have that chance tonight. There was an amazing turnout tonight for youth....maybe 50 kids if not more. These kids encourage me so much, i don't even know how to explain it. I'm so blessed to be able to call them friends and proud of them for how much they are growing spiritually.

Today i talked to my friends in Guatemala, David and McKenzie. I miss them both. Please continue to pray for both of them.

Tomorrow i leave for Tyler, TX. I was asked to preach this upcoming Sunday at Grace Point Church. This is an amazing opportunity that God has blessed me with. I am excited and have been praying for this upcoming Sunday for the past month. Please pray for me. I ask that you pray for God to speak through me and that He would be glorified by everything that happens on Sunday. Please also pray for Grace Point Church and its members. Pray that we would be receptive to the seed that God wants to plant in our hearts this Sunday.

I'm so pumped....

blessed.
