April fools... yesterday !

Thank you all for your prayers ! With all the traveling that I’ve done and speaking that I’ve been doing I especially needed it !

The first two weeks of March I drove from Breckenridge, CO where I’m based to Kansas City, MO to reconnect with family and friends and to present the ministry. The trip usually takes about 10 hours but I essentially followed a snow storm through the entire state of Kansas :( Not fun ! About 11 hours into it I decided to stop at a rest stop about two hours from my destination due to bad weather and nightfall. So I got to test my new sleeping bag out in the back of my car, haha ! I splept well and stayed warm all things considered.

While in KC I did my expected two presentations... and three additional ones ! God opened the door while I was there to make small group presentations at my aunt Denise and uncle Scott Lash's house and at my cousin’s house, Josh and Jenny Lambert. Thank you all for opening up your homes to me and hosting these !!! I made two one on one presentations and then one to a college age ministry that my friend Zach Canady is involved in.

Upon returning to Summit county God opened up the door to share with three individuals what it is God is doing in France and the ministry I’m involved in. During that week I “rested” from travel... at least long distance travel and got other work done. It was a good productive but also restful week.

This past week I drove done to Parachute, Colorado to visit a friend from Frontier School of the Bible Lance Easterling and share at his church. We had a great time reconnecting and hanging out and it was as always a great pleasure to share my passion with the people of his church and with their youth. Thank you guys for that opportunity !

As for support goes it has been both encouraging and discouraging this month and a point of attack of Satan’s. I have had great conversations and many verbal committments but as for follow-through there is little... God is obviously in control and there are various reasons for this but Satan has been discouraging me in thinking that this sum I must raise is quite a giant and that the lack of growth in my percentages is a sign that it is going to take years to return to France. To counter this I have been thinking heavily on Proverbs 3:5-6 which says : Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not upon your own understanding; but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path. Regardless of what is happening and regardless of the reasons God is working out His perfect plan for me, for His people and for His glory. Who am I to question it. Rather I should humbly follow Him and trust Him to slay this giant.

Prayer : 1. Proverbs 3:5-6 2. An October departure date, God willing 3. Full speaking schedule in the Northwest during the month of May 4. Financial support of my home church Rocky Mountain Bible Church, God willing 5. Enjoy the time God has given me Stateside

Praise : 1. Safe travels 2. All the sharing opportunities 3. The financial support I do have 4. The strong and faithful prayer support that I have !!! 5. Family and friends
