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!' "

Praise the Lord

Hey all,
wow I'm very sorry that I have not written a new post in a long long time.  Well I guess a general update which most already know, is that I have my plane ticket for Gabon this summer.  That's a huge praise!  I've also been able to raise most of my funds for the summer, I still need $1300 to complete it, but God will provide.  I just received some Evangelism soccer balls to do a sports ministry this summer in a village in Gabon, so keep in your prayers as I try to set up a soccer evangelism opportunity.  School is going well and I only have about a month left, which means time is flying by.  Soon I'll be on my plane to Gabon and kicking it off with Envision.  I had an opportunity to go to Nevada to do some rock climbing with a friend, and I had a great time catching up with some close friends.  I was reminded in chapel today at school that our trials we encounter are strengthening opportunities in our faith in Christ.  The speaker used the example of iron that is refined over and over again to remove the impurities, and the more impurities that are removed from the metal, the stronger that metal is.  Like that metal being refined, we encounter trials that refine us and remove/teaching us lessons and strengthening our relationship and faith to Christ.  So take heart in whatever you may be encountering at this moment.  James 1:2- "But count it all joy when you fall into various trials."

In Christ,

Eric
