August was an awesome month, and I'm so thankful to be back on the road doing what I'm called to do! Below are some pictures of the speaking and training events in Pikeville & Mt. Vernon, KY, along with the outreach event at Donkey Meadows in Purcellville, VA.
It was an interesting and fun challenge to study and prepare to speak on the "Biblical Significance of the Donkey", and I had a blast preaching at an actual donkey farm! I was amazed by the beautiful picture of the Gospel that I saw from donkeys in Scripture. My main text was Exodus 13:13-16, where I focused on how the Israelites would commemorate the Passover, and how it relates to us today. I made several new friends in northern Virginia, and I am already looking forward to working with them again next year!
In the month of August, there were at least two people who made decisions to trust Christ as their Savior, and there were several other Gospel conversations and significant decisions along the way. Between the trainings in Pikeville and Mt. Vernon, there were around twenty adults trained to share their faith, and thirty leaders trained in the 7 values of a "Gospel Advancing Ministry".
Africa trip update:
Due to my surgery recovery being a slower process than expected, my trip to Africa has been postponed. I am grateful to be progressing each month, but I want to be fully recovered (or closer to it) before I set out on an international adventure. We are praying for the right timing to reschedule, which could be toward the end of this year or sometime in 2023. Please pray with us for wisdom and continued healing as we make plans to join God in His work in Africa. Please also join me in praying for several of my friends at Dare 2 Share who are currently in Africa doing some amazing, Kingdom-advancing work!
Please be praying for these upcoming events:
September 9 - Speaking at Rockcastle Co. High School FCA meeting.
September 12-16- Teaching Personal Evangelism course: "Takeoff to Touchdown" at Word of Life Bible Institute in Hudson, Florida.
September 23 - 25- Preaching Sunday morning service at Anchorage Baptist Temple in Anchorage, AK and training leaders in the 7 values of a "Gospel Advancing Ministry".
