Sea to Sky. That’s the name of a highway from Vancouver to Whistler Blackcomb. It’s along this route that I find myself at this moment and exactly where believers are. We’re traveling along life’s road from our earthly “tent” to our heavenly home. Along the way we encounter bumps, uphill climbs, changes in speed and peaks and beautiful scenery. To be honest, each day, each week, seems to have a little bit of everything in it for me... and it is quite the roller coaster. I can’t recall another time in life being so certain of things yet them being such a jumbled mess. However in this journey God has been my Rock. He has truly been my refuge and my strength giving me enough grace to keep on keeping on. A major part of that comes as a result of God’s word and my relationship with Him but I know that an equally important part comes from you, my team.
Thank you for all of your support in prayer and finances ! I can’t tell you how much it means to know that I have a passionate and faithful team in the ministry ! It is impossible without you and I know that while your part may seem small, insignificant and unseen it is in reality great, of all importance and before the face of God continually.
In comparison to other months, this past one, April, has been on the light
side of presentations. I did however have one at a church in LaGrange, Wyoming at the beginning of the month and several phone presentations. Despite few sharing instances, April did bring spring showers of support... and what anencouragement it was !
As I mentioned in my last posting, I had many verbal commitments and for various reasons those had not materialised into actual commitments. Satan in his battle against me was using this to discourage me unduly. But God in His perfect timing, lead several of those people to follow through and brought one unexpected individual to my team ! This resulted in my monthly support level jumping to almost 25% !!! PRAISE GOD !!!!!!! With the additional verbal commitments that I have added in April, my projected level of support is now around 43% ! As for my one-time support level it has also jumped to 30% ! Please continue to pray for follow-through on verbal commitments as God gives opportunity to those individuals and for new individual and church partners in both prayer and finances. Would you please pray how God might desire to use you in this ministry ? If He would have you join the team please click the “Give” tab and sign up as God directs.
The last week of April my parents and I traveled up to Langley BC, Canada (around Vancouver) for my brother Kit’s graduation from Trinity Western University. What a drive : 24hrs :s However I did not drive my car as planned. The day before we departed my windshield wiper motor died and the nearest replacement was on the West coast. Thankfully due to much prayer a car for my use was found. My brother will ride back to Colorado with my parents and I will use his car while in the Northwest. While here in BC we did some sightseeing : Whistler/Blackcomb, Vancouver, Victoria Island and the Butchart Gardens. It is such a beautiful area ! I am very thankful to have been able to experience it.
Prayer : 1. This month I am spending in Washington and Oregon. Please pray for sharing opportunities and how I might serve and minister to those around me 2. To have 65% in actual support by the end of May 3. For my home church, Rocky Mountain Bible Church’s, financial support 4. Safety and health 5. Encouragement against Satan’s attacks
Praises : 1. My prayer and financial support team 2. My missions mentors Richard and Tracie Cross 3. I am almost 25% supported !!! 4. A car to use during my time in the Northwest : Thanks Kit ! 5. A great time with family in BC
Yay! So glad you've gotten to tour a little while you've been up there! Such a pretty time of year... :)
