God will provide..

When I joined this trip, I needed to have $4,275 raised by the end of March. As is common, things have been shifted around. My departure date was pushed back until June 4th, which has given me more time to raise support. Also, the cost has been decreased to $3,900. God promises that if we seek first His kingdom, everything else that we need will be added unto us. By his faithfulness and the willingness of those who have given, $3,000 has been raised for this trip. This means I have 2 weeks to raise about $900. I would ask you to consider joining in God's work by supporting me financially, if you haven't already. And I want to again thank each of you that have given, you are a bigger blessing than you know. If you would like to send money, you can mail checks to the following address:

Missionary...me?

Right before Jesus ascended into heaven he gave the disciples this command: "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations. baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."(Matthew 28:18-20)

In obedience to Gods command, I will be traveling half way across the world this summer to the dark nation of Cambodia. These people have many physical needs, but above all they need to hear about the good news of the Kingdom of God. That we are steeped in our sin against our creator, who loved us and died because of our sin- so that we can have the opportunity of eternal life by repenting and turning to Jesus as Lord and Savior. This is my hearts desire as I go to Cambodia.

I will be working in a hospital with another nursing student from Cedarville University in Ohio. We will have alternating shifts for 5 weeks. We will also be teaching at a summer day-camp for high school students. Our subject matter will be God's design of the human body, health and nutrition. In all of these settings our mission is simple: to share Jesus Christ with the people of Cambodia. We will be using every and any avenue we can to do this, whether it be nursing, teaching, or hanging out with kids our age. I want to thank each and every one of you who have joined in this cause by supporting me financially and through your prayers. I believe it is God's desire to involve as many people here at home in his sending work. It is not an individual effort. Your support is the method God uses to mobilize his Gospel. I hope that this blog will enable your involvement so you can see what God is doing through your prayers and sacrificial giving. May God use this trip to not only draw the hearts of the Cambodian people to himself, but also to draw our hearts to Him.
