Hello from Calgary, Alberta, Canada!
I am so excited to be out here in Western Canada!
Thank you to those of you who have been praying for me, and giving generously to God that I might be here to be used by him to help make a difference in Calgary.
Our team consists of 27 students and 11 staff (including interns) from across the country. We've all been here since Monday (May 5th) and have had a blast getting to know one another. I am amazed at the way the Holy Spirit has united us. Please pray that we continue to experience this unity! I really feel a supernatural kind of bond with these men and women, and look forward not only to what God will do through us, but what He'll do in our hearts to make us better lovers of Him.
Since arriving earlier this week, we've been hanging out a lot. We've had the chance to job hunt and hand out resumes. Also, we have been going to training sessions, about how to depend on God's Holy Spirit, how to get around in Calgary, how to transition our conversations to talk about spiritual things, and how to resolve conflict.
I'm really looking forward to learning how to be a better witness for Christ. I'm nervous about sharing my faith with a coworker, but I know God has prepared the opportunities in advance. I know He wants everyone to hear what He has done for us in sending Jesus to die on the cross. Please pray that I'll proclaim the gospel boldly! Pray that I keep my focus on Him, and stay open to being used in any situation.
Recap of prayer requests:
- that our team would continue to get along, and resolve any conflict appropriately
- that I would stay focused on Jesus, and proclaim the gospel boldly
- also, that the last $500 of my financial support would come in before the end of next week
Thank you again for supporting me. I truly appreciate your gifts and prayers, and will update you again in about two weeks.
God bless!
