February Report

40% Support Raised

I am again overwhelmed by the provision God is showing me and the people he is doing this through. There have been multiple time this month, where my mouth is left hanging open in awe. Thank you!

February, was a quite month. Apart from the fundraiser, planning this month was minimal. It was a nice change of pace from January.

Looking forward, March will be a pretty quite month as well. I plan to organize another fundraiser night toward the end of the month and I will need to by my airline tickets soon for Edinburgh. I also need to decide where to stay while in the city. Toward the end of July Edinburgh hostels, hotels, and guest houses fills up fast, due to the Fringe Festival in August. I emailed the YWAM (Youth With a Mission) base in Edinburgh to see if someone on their team might be able to host me while in the city, but they were unsure because it is three month away. Please pray that I might find inexpensive, safe accommodations.

My prayers in February were way layed by some other spiritual issues I've been contemplating. One of these topics, is how to spread the gospel message without sounding like a sales pitch. I've been reading Brian McLaren's More Ready Than You Realize: The Power of Everyday Conversation. Though I am on the fence about the author, he makes some very powerful points in his book about disciple-making as conversation and friendship as opposed to argument and conquest. It is my deepest desire that everyone would know the freedom Jesus brings, but I do not think you can sell freedom, freedom is a choice. Just some thoughts. There is certainly lots more on this topic and I plan on reading up. Any words of advice would be appreciated. Remember, you can leave comments.

But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect. ~1 Peter 3:15
