Praise Reports: Thanks to an anonymous donation my financial support is up to $600 now! Thank you Mr/Ms Anonymous! A childhood friend of mine contacted me out of the blue to let me know he's in Orlando, too.  I haven't seen him since 1997 so hopefully we can get reaquainted next weekend.  He Googled my name and found my address.  God Bless the Internet! The first two groups of students got back from their trips to Key West and Brazil this past Friday.  Seeing how much these young people have matured spiritually gives me more confirmation that I'm in the right place.  I can see the changes in attitude towards their faith and increased priority to follow Christ and it makes the 14 hour days worth the effort. Also Getting 90 minutes a day of prayer and reading is a lot easier than I thought it would be with our 14 hour days.  Being in a community that supports that kind of thing is so awesome! I'm reading a great book called "Intercession: Thrilling and Fulfillin

Prayers Answered

I'm in Orlando, serving with YWAM and I wanted to take this time to share all the prayers that have been answered. I prayed to live in a micro-community of missionary minded Christians and that has definitely been answered.  This form of communal living is exactly how it should be.  One community, one mission: it's the way to live!  I got the top bunk in my room and a cool roommate from New York named Ryan.  I have no real privacy and I don't miss it at all. =)  Living life with a Christian team is awesome.  Living with people who understand the need for quiet time with the Bible is awesome. Also I prayed for God to deliver me from the thorns, to deliver me from the distractions dragging me down in my former life and so far that has been abundantly answered.  I have no desire to spend time on TV, video games, movies, or reading news sites.  I spend my entire day focused on my purpose and it totally rocks! Did I mention that I don't have to drive a car either.  Two

I'm in the right place! =)

Well so far the orientation to Mission Adventures here in Orlando is going pretty well. I really enjoy being in a micro-community with a missionary mindset.  I got an initial confirmation Monday that I'm in the right place.  Our group leader Colleen Crawford told us how the churches that sent their youth groups on missions trips through Mission Adventures were incredibly impressed with how their youth matured spiritually in just two weeks.  It was just the confirmation I needed to know that my efforts impacted people well beyond just the brief encounter in the summer.  We ARE transforming people's lives!
