The Summary...

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to let you know that this last outreach to Russia was a huge success! God really showed up! It was such a privilege to be there and to take part in it all. Even though we did not see many salvation's, we did see lots of seeds being planted and hearts being drawn closer to the Creator of All.
For me personally the most astonishing testimony of this outreach was the growth and maturity that I saw each of my students grasp hold of. Seeing each of the students grow and learn during lecture phase was one thing, but then seeing them actually live out and apply what they learned was another. And then seeing them igniting the hearts and souls of the youth around them to dig deeper in their personal relationship with God, to pursue intimacy, and then to see them turn and effect the community in which they live was just outstanding!
God has also been teaching me a lot on what it means to have an intimate relationship with Him, and man is it an adventure!, far better than anything that this world may offer me. You want to know what he taught me? He taught me that the more I walk in obedience with Him, then the more He is able to work in and through me. This is something that really became real to me, as I even walked out in faith and obedience on the "little things". Let me tell you, the little things make all the difference.

So, what comes next?
Right now the YWAM base that I am working at in Salem, OR is looking to partner with churches and missions groups from around the world in adopting a tent community in Haiti and seeing that it is maintained and discipled until the rebuilding process is finished. So, I will be traveling down to Haiti to network and establish relations between our church, the local church, YWAM and other ministries, in hopes to rebuild Haiti. I will stay in Haiti all summer, and return to Salem this Fall. That is all I know for the moment. Please keep me in your prayers.
