Ignite Missions Conference

The Ignite Youth Missions Conference took place last week. We had 110 people attending and involved in putting this on. There were hands on classes which taught the young people how to handle emergencies in a foreign country, wilderness... I spent the week prepping and cooking food for about 12 hours a day. We had several different missionaries come: a missionary pilot, a missionary to the deaf in Brazil, a man who is trying to rescue trafficked victims, and a few more.

Over the last three weeks, I have been doing election surveys in different towns. God has given me many opportunities to witness, and I currently have a list of people ai am praying will get saved. Most are Lutheran or Catholic and are trusting in works. I was able to lead one Catholic man to Christ. Pray that he will decide to come to church.His wife is Catholic but not faithful in church. 

Please pray that a job I have applied for will finalize the hiring process. This will allow me to mostly work from home other than some driving to clients houses a couple times a month.

A Month Into School

 It is hard to believe a month has passed since Harvest Baptist College started. I am enjoying teaching English Grammar and a How to Teach ESL class. Due to a very short semester and only two periods for each class, trying to fit in everything and make sure the students grasp the concepts is not always easy. In the ESL class, the students are making a  lot of teaching tools which they will utilize in the future. Every class, I emphasize the fact that the purpose of teaching ESL is to help the students come to Christ. 

The counseling classes I am taking have been really good. You don't need a degree to counsel people, you need to be able to listen, ask the right questions, and help the people to understand not just the why but the what of their circumstances. God always has a reason for allowing someone to go through difficulties. Sometimes those difficulties are caused by another's use of their free choice to sin, but God can take even the worst situation and make something beautiful out of it if we let Him.

I am currently working a temporary job for the Faith and Freedom Coalition doing election surveys. Because of this, I have been able to talk about God to a lot of people, witness to a few, and invite some to church. Please pray that God will continue to use me to reach these people with the Gospel.

Please pray that I can find a more permanent job. An online job would be ideal because I could then travel and work without needing to return to the US. Please pray that I can begin raising more support to where I can eventually travel on a more full-time basis.

July 13 kicks off the Ignite Youth Missions Conference. Please for all the young people and missionaries who will be here. Pray that God will call many to surrender to His will and that they will answer. I will be setting up a table to show what I do, so please pray that many people can be encouraged to get involved in short-term missions helps.
