Memorial Day & Thank You's

   I hope you all had a great Memorial Day. It's great to remember those that died to protect the freedoms that we have here in America. When looking at the world around us, it seems that us in the US forget all the freedoms that we have here in America. And with the freedoms that we have come great responsibilities and sacrifice. It is the same with our Christian walk. We have so many freedoms in Christ. But there is a great responsibility and sacrifice that comes with following Christ. It isn't easy, but the reward is great.

   This weekend I was given a chance to go share at Braintrim Baptist in Laceyville, PA. I want to thank them for their hospitality and being so welcoming to me. The presentation is still rough on the edges. But with each opportunity that God gives, comes a better understanding on how to present the work that God is doing through Victory and the work God is calling me to do there. It is also great to see God put people into my life that are not afraid to point out what I need to change in my presentation. I love getting critiqued or hearing positive criticism, because I will know it will help improve my work. And did I get a lot of input. The thirty-eight minute drive home was me practicing my annunciation and speed. Now it is on to listening to my speaking, and revising it.

   Don't forget, if you want me to share in your church, feel free to contact me, or pass my information on to your pastor/mission board. Even if you are just curious about the work being done at Victory, feel free to contact me. That is how this last opportunity happened.

   Also, I have an opportunity coming up that I am praying about. I will get the information out to you as soon as I can.

Thank You's

The last seven days have held great opportunities to share the burden God has laid on my heart, and the work God is doing through Victory.

On Monday the Herrickville Wesleyan Church invited me to speak with their mission board. It was a great time of sharing the ministry of Victory with them. They have been supportive of the work being done with ROCC, and I have had many occasions to share the ministry of Victory with individuals of the church as well. Its these kinds of meetings that get me excited about the work being done at Victory, and being a part of the ministry in the future.

As reported in the last update letter, technical difficulties are plaguing all the technical gear I have. Today was an example of that. Orwell Bible Church invited me to share during their Sunday school time. Everything seemed to be great, until computer and projector wouldn't sync. Luckily, Plan B was in my bag. The iPad connected flawlessly, but the presentation didn't seem to work. It threw off my concentration, and every thing I said seemed to come out like gibberish. It was frustrating. But God still used it.

Thanks to these two churches for giving me opportunities to share. I can't wait for more doors to open, and to see God start to work in the hearts of those I am sharing with.
