Cali Update

Hello all!

I just received my passport and so I am now able to leave the country. Woo Hoo!

Thank you for journeying with me on this road! I really appreciate the support. I have heard the stories of people going on mission trips and having very real and very physical manifestations of evil.

It is through prayer and intercession that God brought healing and opportunity in those situations. I thank you for your prayers!!

I know that many of you have also decided to help me out monetarily. I am about halfway to my goal of the $2100.00 needed. So thank you for your help!! Praise God!

We are almost about to buy the airplane tickets and I have to have $1000.00 just for those. I have never been out of the country before (Canada doesn't count) and thus have never needed a passport. That was a spendy thing!! Nice to have though.

I am excited to go and know that provision is being given! It means a lot to me to be able to go and minister, learn and experience all of this amazing, incredible movement that God is doing in Cali.

I hope to bring what God gives me back here for His glory!!

Thank you again!

Way of the Master Questions Week One

Question 1

Imagine that you are sound asleep in bed. You smell smoke. The smoke detector goes off and you quickly think of the fire station next door.  What virtues would you want those firefighters to have? Alert? Special training? Courage? Compassion? What else?

Now which ones of these do you think you possess and which ones do you need to work on?

Question 2

Call two people that you know that go to church (could be our church) and ask them this:

"I'm taking an evangelism course and as part of the homework , I need to ask someone a few questions. 1. Do you share your faith regularly? i.e. Do you go out of your way to verbally share the gospel with strangers?
2. What is the main reason you don't share your faith more often?


Bring these with you to class Sunday!

Passport

So yesterday I went and completed my expedited request for my passport. One of the critical steps to preparing for my trip to Cali, Colombia.

I've never had a passport before and had no idea that it was that expensive!

At least it is good for ten years!

I wanted to thank those of you who have already donated to help me get to Cali! Thank you for your gift! I will keep updating information as it becomes time to get the tickets and then to pack and such.

I do have a bit more information about what we will be doing specifically.

The first week we will be spending time helping to further build a church in the rural part of Cali. Also, we will be helping with cell groups (small groups) and beginning to get them going. My hope is that we get to talk to others about how important they are and possibly our testimonies about God working in our lives.

The second week is pretty intense as well. There are workshops every day twice a day that week and then on Saturday (Sabado) we will help with an Impact event.

We will be learning more about prayer, cell groups, encounter events and impact events.

I can't wait!!
