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.
