Happy Thanksgiving

Last week was awesome. I had the chance to go with a couple friends to SIFAT and then to Ozark, AL. While at SIFAT, I had the opportunity to talk with a small youth group from Gainsville, FL about the importance of reading the Bible. Always surprised at the doors God opens when you least expect it. After leaving SIFAT, we went to Ozark, AL to see Reggie (past youth pastor) and his youth group. Reggie gave me the opportunity to talk about missions and God's faithfulness when i was in India. Had the chance to talk with a lot of the kids there about what God is doing in their lives. They have kept in touch with me since i left and continue to keep me updated about their desire to 'GO' and do missions. I'm looking forward to going back to Ozark in a couple weeks with my friends David and McKenzie.

I was surprised to see how many people, from different countries have been looking at this blog: Kiev, Ukraine - Brasilia, Brazil - Barcelona, Spain - Mumbai, India - Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand - Kigali, Rwanda - Paterna, Spain -Bangalore, India - Edmonton, Canada - Singapore

Thank You for reading this blog and for praying for me. I mean that. Thank You.

In a couple weeks (first week in December), my friends from Gautemala will be coming home for the Christmas holiday. I'm pumped. I miss them.

Right now, i'm starting to get the plans together for next year and where I will be going, if God allows me to. Next blog, i'll tell you about the opportunities i will have next year and how you can participate/support if you would like to.

I have been in touch with my friends in India this past week. David writes me about once a week and gives me an update on how things are going in Northern India. Blessed to see God opening doors for me and David in Nepal for next year. PLEASE continue to pray for our friends around the world who are serving (Please read blog right before this one.)

I continue to pray that God would open doors for me to preach the gospel. Please pray with me. I was encouraged to hear this week that several friends of mine who are youth pastors showed my documentary (The 'GO'ing) to their youth over the past couple weeks.

So today, i leave. I'll be gone for a week with some friends for Thanksgiving vacation. Will be back next Saturday.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Read Your Bible.
It's Awesome.



P.S. Be thankful for your Bible.....especially if it is in your own language. Not all people have the blessing of having a Bible in their own language. While in northern India, when i had the opportunity to talk about Jesus, David had to translate exactly what i was saying. He was unable to tell the people to turn to a certain scripture because there is no Bible in their language. If you have your bible, read it. So Thankful for my Bible.

Work and Pray

THANK YOU for continuing to read this blog and to pray for me.

I wanted to write this blog and ask for prayer for myself and some friends of mine.



This is David and Glory and their 2 children. I stayed with them when i was in India. I have been in touch with David on a weekly basis as he updates me of what is going on with the ministry there. I would like to ask for you prayer for David and his family. Pray for God to continue to open doors for them to witness and disciple the people of Nagaland. David wrote me about a month ago telling me their need for transportation (particularly, a motorcycle because of the roads there). Members of iTuesday were able to raise enough money ($1,000) to purchase this motorcycle for David and his family. I am extremely excited to be sending him this money to purchase the motorcycle in the next couple of weeks. Please continue to pray for them.



Raphael is a pastor in Nigeria. I was blessed to meet him this past summer while working at SIFAT (mission camp in Lineville,AL). I hope and pray that one day i can visit Raphael in Nigeria and see first hand the work that he is doing there. He came to iTuesday, before returning to Nigeria, and shared an awesome message with us about missions. Raphael is back in Nigeria now with his family and has continued to work in the ministry there. I have been in touch with Raphael and he asked for prayer for finances regarding rent, medical bills, feeding, transportation and other. I have asked Raphael how we can partner with him and support him financially. I will update you on this if you would like to support Raphael and his family. Please pray for Raphael and his family.




This is my best friend David. Love him. He is living at Casa Bernabe in Guatemala. The little girl pictured here is a little girl that he is trying to adopt. I was able to go to Guatemala earlier this year and meet her. Please pray for David and this situation. As some of you know, international adoption is something that normally doesn't go so smoothly....but we serve a LIVING God. A God who listens when we pray. PLEASE pray with me for David and for this little girl. Pray that God would be glorified in this situation and His perfect will be done in Davids life.




Mckenzie is another awesome friend of mine who is living in Guatemala at Casa Bernabe. She has been living there this past year and will be coming home in a couple week to have surgery on her ear. Please pray for her as she is now at the orphanage and as she comes home in a couple weeks. Pray that God would give her peace and strength while she is at Casa Bernabe.




I have been blessed to have been offered an opportunity to work as an assistant photographer for the New Orleans Hornets. This allows me the opportunity to work at night and the freedom to continue to focus on the ministry and travel. In order to support myself and the cost with traveling (in the US and Internationally), i am a photographer. I have been a professional photographer for about 5 years now and focus mainly on wedding photography. I have almost completed my website (www.perfectshotsphoto.com) and pray that God would open doors for me to work so that i can continue to focus on the ministry here and around the world. Please pray for me that God would open doors for me and continue to provide for me financially.

This weekend i will be going to SIFAT. I just found out that i might have the opportunity to share with a group from Florida on Saturday night. Awesome. Sunday, i will be heading to Ozark, AL to visit my good friend and past youth pastor Reggie. Im looking forward to seeing him again and sharing with his youth group about missions and God's faithfulness while i was in India.

Please pray for all of these things with me.

THANK YOU.

Fuel 2010. Back to Nawlins.

Back home in New Orleans after an awesome weekend in San Francisco at the annual Fuel retreat. Being asked to speak and help out was a privilege i hope to have again. Hanging out and worshiping with friends was awesome. Being able, again, to say 'thank you' to those people who were praying for me while i was in India was a blessing. Can't explain how grateful i am for friends who pray for me.

I spoke about missions, both local and global. I have been in contact with some of those who went on the retreat since being home. I'm excited to see what God is doing in their lives and what he is going to do. Hopefully i get to serve alongside those guys one day outside of this country (maybe india?...hmmmm...lol).

God has been doing a lot of work on my heart lately. Especially this past weekend. Lots of stuff he is dealing with me about right now. It's good to be home. It was awesome to be with iTuesday last night and awesome to be able to share about intimacy with Christ and brokenness (Hosea 6:1, Psalm 86:11, Psalm 51:16-17, Psalm 34:18). I will write about this later this week.

Been extremely busy since being home from India. That is a blessing. Now i get to rest a bit.

THANK YOU FOR CONTINUING TO PRAY FOR ME.



also, i have several copies left of the documentary that i made while in India (The 'GO'ing). I would like to send you one if you want a copy. please let me know. sdaigle188@gmail.com
