New Ports of Call
Sunday, August 14, 2011
Last week in the states, Wow!
I can’t wait to start, but it the same time having mixed emotions about leaving family and friends behind. I know I’ve been called, now it’s my turn to respond to this calling.
Logos Hope is literally a melting-pot of culture. People coming from every corner of the Earth; they say upwards of 40+ nationalities are represented on board the vessel. Many people are so blessed by the ministry when the ship ports in their home town; that they see the vision and take it upon themselves to raise partnerships and join the ship ministry. I’m anxious to get there and meet all these different walks of lives and hear all their amazing stories of how God saved them!
A local Bible study I’ve been attending starts the meeting every week by asking, “What were your “High” “Lows” from the previous week”? I always struggled with the “Lows” portion of the week; God has been so good it’s always a challenge to think of how things have been bad. Every week from the beginning of the year I’ve been able to experience new challenges and excitement. Meeting so many new people through speaking engagements, becoming actively involved in different ministries within the community, missions trips, volunteering with the AWESOME KIDS AT FBCM, and vacations. God has been very good to me, and I can’t wait to see how God plans to use my ministry.
This last week I will not be saying goodbye but “CYA Later” to hundreds of people I’ve grown to know and love. I praise God for every one of them and how they’ve blessed me.

World Changers
World Changers
I’ve just arrived back home from an exciting youth missions trip. We all grew together as a group, enjoyed serving others, and had so much fun & fellowship. It was a great boost to ministry as I’m about to “Ship off”.
World Changers is hosted by the International Missions Board & allows 1000’s of kids to spend a week in the summer heat serving, by providing practical aid & a godly testimony to the community. I worked on, “The Paint Chips Crew”, that had several young energetic young people. The crews were divided amongst the churches in attendance.
From laboring on the job-site, to knocking on doors, to hanging with the community kids, there were so many outreach opportunities. Praise God for opening so many different doorways that week. I would say the main ministry was to the kids at World Changers though. They encountered a week of missions and were challenged, “ONE”, TO spend one summer in mission. So this missions trip really opened a lot of their eyes to serving.
I was thrown into a leadership type position. Given there was a limited amount of adults. I learned how to effectively give direction & delegate to others on the go; while remaining friendly & having a good time with everyone there. Everyone on the crew had a blast through the lift in their spirits throughout the week. From the time we got to the work site til cleanup time we all played, talked, & had plenty of fun, and oh yeah we worked a little bit too.
GO PAINT CHIPS!!!
Worship was Awesome. It was simply but amazing. It was a one man show, but he made it work. The last night I remember we had 300+ people planking (picture), dancing on stage, and having the best time worshiping.
