This page will be a little different from now on. I will be posting WEEKLY scriptures for us all to RUMINATE over. Think upon, Ponder, to chew on it. We as Christ Followers are called to Read, LISTEN, AND APPLY the Word to our lives. I desire to give an opportunity to you for personal growth along with me. Take what you read here and meditate upon it and find ways to apply it to your everyday life. I invite you to leave your comments, corrections, concerns, whatever they may be I want to hear from you!!!

HAITI BOUND!




It has been a good week! Last weekend ended so well with us taking the students on an afternoon sailing adventure!!! We were fortunate to have some people in church that have a chartering business to take us out for 6 hours!!! MAN I LOVE SAILING!!! We are leaving for Haiti on monday the 17th and returning on Thanksgiving! I am very excited to leave and I know it will be such a different experience than anything before. This weeks teaching was great challenged me in a few areas and made me really think about myself differently. We got to do a youth group service at church on friday so that was AWESOME!! We did basically the outline of what we'd do in Haiti for a service. We started out with a funny skit had a testimony, another skit and 2 testimonys and one more drama and I had the pleasure of wraping up the service with a sermon. It was actually a sermon that I feel needed to be heard not only to the youth but to my team and most of all MYSELF. I will not be able to update this while I am gone on outreach for 10 days. PLEASE PRAY CONTINUALLY FOR US AS WE GO TO HAITI! For some of you that may not know, Haiti has an extreme past. It was dedicated to Satan a few hundred years ago and actually within the last 5 years has been released from that. It has extreme spiritual influence from Voodoo, I don't speak this to scare you because i'm not scared to go. I am cautious for sure but I know that God is taking us there for a reason and he will make his will be known through us. We all need your help as we do ministry there, so please keep us in your prayers. Nothing fights the enemy like our prayers to God that can bind him in an instant!!! We will be doing various things in our time there. We have VBS plans, hurricane relief, building projects and even possibly some food delivery to hurricane victoms!! We will be staying at the YWAM base in St Marc doing really whatever they need us to do. I can't wait to come back and tell you all about what we did there!!! I know it will be incredible!
