For all of you who do not yet know, I’m going to “East Asia” this summer!
Fourteen brothers & sisters from my lovely & amazing church in Berkeley, Living Water, will be heading to “East Asia” as missionaries to the lost & broken who are still in darkness in the nation there. I won’t enumerate everything that’s in my support letter here – instead, if you have not received a copy of my support letter yet, you can VIEW MY SUPPORT LETTER HERE (http://www.rootprod.com/download/lw-summer-09-support-letter.pdf) – let me know if you haven’t received a support letter yet and would like a personalized copy! (since the one I put up online is anonymous & doesn’t even have my name signed at the bottom =P) I’ve sent them out to many people already, so either I have’t gotten around to sending YOU one yet OR it got lost in the mail. I would be MORE THAN HAPPY to send you one if you want one though!
Over the course of the past week we have had our first prep meetings – we meet every Wednesday & Thursday from 6:30-9pm and on Sundays from 4-9pm, phew! It’s a lot of time and effort, but we are trusting the Lord that He will bless everything that we put in and multiply it in His time out in the field. I’m currently developing lesson plans for teaching English classes to 8th grade boys & girls with my amazing buddy, Sarah! Sarah is an AMAZING daughter of the Father who has just blown me away with the efficiency, diligence, and timeliness of putting these lesson plans together! Plus, it encourages me to see her excitement to covertly work in parables & stories about Jesus into the lessons.
In fact, I love my entire team: Anita, Brian, Daniel, Danielle, Edna, John, Joyce, Kat, Linda, Pastor Tom, Pastor James, Sarah, & WeiLi!
I’ll continue to update about these happenings, but PLEASE PRAY for the people, finances, and the team. There is a LOT of stuff happening that the team is continaully praying & fasting for, so please please please be in prayer for us all!
Our God is GOOD, Amen!
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives, and the release from darkness for the prisoners“
(Isaiah 61:1)
