Hello Again From Beautiful Arkansas

Hello everyone. Sorry it has been so long since I last updated my blog. I am still in Ozark, AR working with Youth With A Mission as staff with the Discipleship Training School and support staff when the DTS is not running. A lot has happened since the last update. We had a crazy ice storm back in January and we had a successful DTS that started in March. They learned a lot and so did I. As a result one student was baptized before leaving for outreach. The DTS is on outreach right now in Asia. Unfortunately I was unable to go for lack of funds. Please pray for them for the enemy does not want them doing what they are there for. They come back to the states in late July.
This month we hosted Camp Manitou, with 28 noisy, busy kids. I spen the week befor it painting a room for them to stay in, plus moving a bunch of bunk beds around. 6 to 8 kids gave their lifes to the Lord. It was a lot of work but worth the effort.
The SBS "School of Biblical Studies" graduates this week. Congratulations for making it through nine months of inductive bible study. To all those who have said that it is impossible to get through the Bible, think again. These students of the SBS all have read through the entire Bible five times within nine months. A two-month SBS outreach to Asia will follow, where they will teach what they have learned. What a great God we serve who allows us to be a part of His work.

Happy 2009!

It’s a new year, a time for new opportunities. We are welcoming new staff to our team, -- Bob and Cathy Walker from Montana and returning staff Bekah Davis from Missouri. Also new staff, a student from last spring DTS, Abby Whitmore from Missouri next month. We are also expecting new students for our Discipleship Training School in the spring. Pray that God calls students here with a heart for missions and reaching the lost. Last you heard about me was that I was a student of the School of Biblical Studies. Unfortunately I was unable to raise the money I needed to complete the school. However it may be a good thing because I was asked to come back as Discipleship Training School (DTS) staff for this spring. I still need people to partner with me financially monthly. With me being on staff again I will have an opportunity to go on outreach with our DTS to an unreached people in East Asia, which I am excited about. Please pray with me on these things. Let me hear from you.
