A Rquest...

  As I mentioned earlier, I am planning on leading a team of 2 students to the 10/40 window, for at lease 3 months, and I may be staying another 3 months to help staff the Community Development school.
With that said I need to raise at least $5,000. This includes the plane ticket, ground fees (translator, transportation, room and board, etc.) and other misc. living expenses. I discovered that the place we are going is quite expensive. If I stay.. which I am about 70% sure I am, then that would be an extra $750 at least.
So, with that said, I would like ask you if you would consider becoming a partner with me financially. I am planning on leaving right around June 23 so in about 2 months. If you would like to give towards this trip then feel free. I will give more info on how to give at the end of this news letter. If you would like more details about my trip, call me, and I can try to answer some.

What's After Outreach?

There are a few things I am praying about regarding what I will be doing after outreach.

1) Stay longer in the country and staff the next FCD school. IF I do that, then I will be gone overseas for about 6—7 months.
2) Take another course in Costa Rica which is called EARS (Environmental and Resource Stewardship school). This is one of the three schools I will need to complete to get my bachelors in Science and Technology through the University of Nations.
3) Come back right after outreach and work on the base for a season.
4) Move overseas to live for a season and apply what I have been learning.
To be honest there are so many things I am praying about, that if I were to write them down here I would not have enough space!
I do feel that I am coming into a time of transition and believe that there are things shifting for the good in my life. I don’t know what this will ultimately be, but it’s exciting!!

Spring Community Development School

“The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.”- Unknown

I am so excited! This quarter here in Montana we are running our FCD school.  We have 6 students and 3 staff, with a total of 5 nations represented.

This year is exceptionally exciting! We have so many different things that we are doing which are new to this particular school.  We have new speakers and we will be going on a “mini outreach.”  On this outreach we will be going to a Native American reservation for a week. While we are there, we will be learning what it means to have protocol within a community. We will be working with some Pacific Islanders who are already ministering among the Native Americans here in Montana.  This will include speaking in churches, working with the youth and working in their café.

God has been doing a deep work in the hearts of all the students.  It is so awesome to see these students become even more transformed by the power of God’s word. I am blessed to be able to work with the guys.

After our lecture phase we will be going on outreach.  We will be heading over seas the last week of June.  We are going to a country in the 10/40 window (see picture on next page).  Specific country not disclosed for security purposes.

What will we be doing?   We are still working out the details, but we will more than likely being doing language studies, as well as working with some non-government organizations (NGO’s), etc.. Again not many details for security reasons. We are excited to be going!

Feel free to call me if you would like to have more details.
