Very often what God first helps us towards is not the virtue itself but just this power of always trying again ~ C.S. Lewis

Hey guys, I have been in Harrisburg, PA for four months now. The time has just flown by! The Lord has been showing me what it means to truly love Him and be loved by Him. Another lesson He has taught throughout these past four months has been humbling myself and surrendering absolutely everything to Him. Looking back on the way I perceived life before I came here, compared to now is dramatically different. Just to give you a hint of the transformation Jesus has done thus far, if someone would have asked me if He still did miracles, I would have thought they were insane; now though, I've seen Him perform countless miracles. I would even suggest to you that seeing God touch people in a very real and physical way is quickly becoming more of a reality than just a dream.

After seeing the amazing miracles that God has shown us in the past four months, it makes me even more excited to go on outreach. We only have one more month of lectures before we go! On March 7th, our entire school will leave Harrisburg and head up to Boston, MA to hang out and minister to students on the Harvard campus. After the first three weeks, we will head to New Haven, CT and spend time with the Yale students. On April 11th my team of 6 will head from America over to England for the remainder of outreach. While we are in England, we will spend time ministering on their campuses, primarily Oxford and Cambridge. We believe that going to these universities is a solid strategy, since  our heart, as YWAM, is to reach the nations. These schools are central training locations for international leaders from all over the globe. Our desire is to bring prayer and worship to these campuses alongside of other campus ministries. We are all very excited to have the opportunity to meet with students and show them the love of our Father. We will be returning to Harrisburg, PA on May 21st.

I would like to ask you as my friend to join me in prayer for the next 3 1/2 months, that God would have His way during our outreach and that He would provide for all of our needs. Also, if you feel led to partner with me financially, you can sow into this vision by clicking on the PayPal donate button on the side of this page. If you would like my address, just email me and I would be glad to give it to you!

Please email me and let me know what's going on in your life! I would love to pray for you as well.
