Romans 10:14-15 "How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: 'How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!' "

Summer Trip

Hey all,
I'm trying to raise funds for my summer trip back to Gabon. If you'd like to contribute and help me out on this, let me know and I"ll get you the information. I'm hopefully planning on leaving May 18, but I guess that will depend on how finances are, please join me by praying that monies will come in to cover my expenses for the summer. I"m getting excited for what the Lord is going to do through me in Gabon. Thanks everyone and God Bless.

I want to be like Paul!

So I"m flying back to Atlanta from visiting my brother in Kansas City, and I did my devotions this mornings at 6 am, nice and early :) Anyways, I read in Philippians 1 which was really awesome. Paul shows in verses 3-4 how much he is thankful for his friends and prays for them and lifts them up before the Lord. "I thank my God every time I remember you. ⁴ In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy." I just read somewhere like either in Psalms or Corinthians (I can't remember), that we should bear one another's burdens. That act of love for one another is important and we should lift one another up in prayer all the time. Then in Philippians 1:12-14, Paul talks about the things that have happened to him in jail and how he has influence other cell-mates and palace guards toward the gospel of Christ. -And he goes on to say that those who have become believers in the jail are now more bold to speak about Christ. I look at Paul and that's the testimony and witness I want to have. I want to be a living testimony of Christ's love to the point where it influences others and encourages other believers to be stronger in their faith-Don't you! Later on Paul describes his feelings for being torn of this world and not of this world. Paul shows us that he would rather be in heaven with Christ because it is FAR BETTER than this world, but at the same time, he knows he needs to be on earth because there are lots who still have not heard the good news of Jesus Christ.

How great it will be in Heaven :) I want to be more like Paul
