It's getting complicated

So, this is the last day of the last week of the lecture phase of the Call2All DTS. It's hard to believe that 3 months of this school have already passed and is now gone. Now we, as a team, are faced with the next phase of this school, Outreach.

There has been many developments in the past couple weeks. Many good things but also many things that are hindering us from actually leaving on outreach yet.
Good news first, I went from needing about $3,000 to needing $1,473 divided up for staff fees, health insurance, and ground fees for outreach,  all of our students have received the full amount of their needs to go on outreach, and we are so expectant of what God wants to do on outreach.
Now the "bad news".  The reason I put it in quotation is because it isn't really bad but just a slight divergence from our original plan.  In October of 2009, there were changes for obtaining visas for India that we did not know about.  One of my co-leaders John Kim had to fly to San Francisco to take care of the visas at the Indian Embassy.  Our international students are in the process of still getting their visas and same with one of our American students.  Please pray that we will all get our visas.  4 of us including me have received them but the other 6 haven't. 

Our original plan was to leave on Tuesday March 30th to go to India.  Now, because of visa issues, we are forced to go to Honolulu and do some pre-outreach outreach.   So now we will minister for roughly a week in Honolulu evangelizing, training, and regrouping as a team because of the past couple weeks trying to solve our problems.

Not an option

The great commission is not an option to be considered, it is a command to be obeyed.
-Hudson Taylor

As we come to the end of this week, I am challenged by this statement. Mark Anderson has quoted this a couple times through this week and I am gripped with the reality of this commandment.

It is our responsibility as Christians to carry out the will of God. The expression of the great commission looks differently for each individual but the mission is the same.

Outreach:
I'm so excited for outreach in India and China. My team is so expectant and hopeful of the things that will be happening on outreach. We want to see people saved, healed, and set free from bondage.

At this point not all the money has come in for many people. Collectively we need about $100,000 for students. We took up an offering and we had people donate about $25,000. It's so encouraging to see students in their lack being generous with what they have.

My team has now 11 days until we leave. Please keep us on your prayers.

Under construction

Sorry that there hasn't been too much activity on this site. I'm working on finalizing the layout and content of it.

Right now we're in the 10th week of lecture. Our speaker for this week is Mark Anderson. If you don't know who he is you should look him up on google. He's speaking on missions and evangelism and how we are all different tools that come together to form the body. We don't all have to look the same, or do the same thing but we all move towards seeing the great commission fulfilled whether Jesus comes back in our life time or not.

In 15 days I'll be flying out to India and pouring out the things that the Lord has been building up in me. Pray for the love of God to abound in us so that we may walk in unity with one another and that we may discern the will of God for this trip

Praise: Someone donated $200 towards my trip, Praise God!!!!!

A good place to start..........

So today I was encouraged to start a blog site to keep up with people back home and those supporting me financial and with prayer. So here it goes.....


Today I have 20 days left until outreach. It's unreal that I am in the 9th week of staffing this DTS. So much has happened and it feels like I've been here for years but at the same time it feels like the students just got in yesterday.


With India and China ahead of me I'm wondering what all this is going to look like. Right now I'm so short on money but I know that the Lord is going to provide because He told me He was and I know He isn't like man that He would lie.

There is so much more that I would like to express but for now this is a start. More to come......
