Thankful for A Bold New Journey

I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace. For God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ. And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. (Philippians 1:3-11)

I am so very thankful for the opportunity to know Christ and then to be privileged enough to then be able to have the opportunities to share it and even teach it to young people. Nothing brings me more joy than to witness and young one accept the Christ as their Lord and Savior and actually walk it out in life! I don't deserve this opportunity nor do I ever feel properly equipped. It is His grace alone that I have so many precious opportunities to share my experiences and witness thee last twenty-five years. As my wife and I enter into a bold new journey in missions (heading up small-scale relief efforts in Puerto Rico)we now ask for your continued and fervent prayers for our safety, wisdom, and planning to continue serving God and those He leads to us. As you pray and support, you are partakers as well of His blessings!
