New Beginnings

Well this is my first post state side, and to those of you who kept me in there thoughts and prayers while I was on adventure in Australia, I thank you greatly. I am excited to start the next leg of my life and I hope that you will continue praying for me as I venture into what God has for me next. There are a few things that have changed since my last post that must be addressed before I can tell you the areas I will be requesting prayer. The first, and most major news, is that I have moved back to Zionsville from Brisbane after five and a half months. I am living with my parents back home and I am commuting to Ivy Tech college. I have begun studying Psychology just this past week. I am now into my second week of classes and so far I am enjoying being in the city a few times a week. This is a massive step for me, seeing as it was just a few months ago I wasn't sure what God would have me do. It is crazy how God waits until the last minute to tell you what he has for you. It is simply amazing to see God work and how He does it. I still don't know what the outcome of me starting school will be but I am trusting God to lead me where ever it is that He wants me to go. The next area that I am going to be taking part in is one that is exciting for me even more that school. I will be helping with the beginnings of what I believe will be an amazing ministry. I will be helping start a young adults ministry at Eagle Center. This is an area that I have always seen a need for, but now that I have been away and I am back I feel the need for it. See, I came home after being away for over five months. Now I am back. I am not a high school student. I am not married. I am not a career man. I don't really have any place that I feel like I can connect, and now what. Well this ministry will give people like me the chance to be able to connect, as well as begin to build a bond with the rest of the adults in the church. It will give us a place to connect and grow into mature believers. So that is a bit of the vision. There are several people discussing, praying and discerning where God wants to take this ministry. These are exciting times and I am stoked to see what God will do.

PRAYER

  • Pray that God will give me the confidence, strength, and ability to endure through the school work that is to come.
  • Pray that God would clearly give direction to this new ministry that God has begun to open up.
  • Pray that God will, even now, be going before us in this ministry and that He will be preparing the hearts of the lost we will be seeking to reach.
