ABANDONED TO JESUS | “He who finds… obtains favor from the Lord.” Proverbs 18:22

Finds what!!! Well the Scripture goes on to say, “a wife”. Friends I am excited to let you know that your prayers have been heard. I have met myself one of the most wonderful ladies on God’s green earth. Her name I Janice Preuninger and she works as a math teacher at Jones Public High School. I met her through mutual friends before she got a job in Jones and started living in Choctaw, after that God started sowing the seeds for a relationship that will blossem into a divine union on November 10th at Eastland Hills Baptist Church. Yup! That is right I am going to get married. That is one of the reasons why the updates have been few and far between. I have been swooning a little.

RESCUING THE UNREACHED| To Plod: v. to work with constant and monotonous perseverance

BFBC Class 12 is well underway right now. We have 10 students. 7 for sure are training to become missionaries, 2 are wanting to go to another ministry and lead short term trips to assist long-term workers and 1 is going to join our home staff. The great news is the truth that all believe God lead them here. Praise the Lord! He is worthy of our worship. They left friends and family for His sake and He will reward them.

The reason why I put the word plod along with the definition is because that is what it is going to take for them to plant churches, constant perseverance. But this definition also reminds me of the work that went into making this boot camp happen. I will tell you one story. One of the campers met me at one of our conferences a few years back and I told him about the plight of those who have no access to the Gospel. He got mad at me and believed I was filling him with propaganda. Then he went home and researched it and found out that I was telling the truth. You know what happened. He is here in training right now getting ready to minister in East Asia, and two of his brothers are already now serving the Lord as missionaries in the Middle East. Praise God huh?!

That is just one story, there a total of six people in this boot camp that I have been talking with for over a year now, and they are finally on their way. Please pray that the Lord will continue to multiply our (yours and mine) effort to raise up laborers to go to the mission field.

COMMITTED FOR LIFE | Prayer and Action

Well I have two more weeks before I have to start school again and I am hoping to be able to use this time for raising support. I am looking to increase my support by 50% since I am about to get married, I need to start receiving $2000 a month. Please pray for God to raise up those who are supposed to support me in this endeavor.

Prayer

1) That I would experience Jesus’ nearness and immediate, continual presence (Col 1:9-14) & that I would look more like Jesus this year then I did last year. A way to do this is to be praying for me to have a greater amount of integrity. I would like to say I am the same person when no one is around, apart from learning more about this through God’s grace my heart seems so far away from this reality.

2) Wedding Planning would go smooth and those who are lost would come to know Jesus.

3) I would be a witness in my college classes.

4) For 100% full Financial Support, through new supporters, increased giving.
