Support Update

My Bolivian Journey   

 ¡Feliz Navidad!

Dear Friends and Family, 

     Philippians 1:3-5 “I thank my God every time I remember you, in all my prayers for all of you I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now,” I am so excited to share with you that I have (as of December 18th) 65% of my support raised! The amount that I have left to raise is $7,750. 

As the beginning of my year in Bolivia is getting closer I am growing in excitement! However, I would also greatly appreciate prayers as I am entering a very new and unfamiliar world! I want to be consumed with passion for sharing the gospel of Christ with the people that I come in contact with. Knowing my human nature, I anticipate my first instinct in a new place will be to want people to like me and reach out to me. I realize that is not quite the selfless approach that is exemplified in Scripture!!! If you could pray for me that I would become less and that Christ would become more. John 3:30 “He must increase; I must decrease.” 

    In whatever situation that I find myself I want to be found living a life worthy of the gospel, as Paul commissioned the Philippians: Philippians 1:27 “Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel,” Thank you for your continued prayers! 

   If you are not on my email signup sheet and would like to be, please contact me and let me know. Also, let me know if there is any way that I can be praying for you!!!

 I hope you have a very merry Christmas and a blessed New Year! 

Galatians 4:4-5 “But when the set time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.” 

¡Feliz Navidad!
