Faithfulness of God

So many great things are happening with Y.O.U. God is opening many opportunities for ongoing ministry. I praise Him for answering a Big prayer request yesterday!! I have had many appointments. This coming week I already have 4 scheduled. It is keeping me busy but God is at work in the International Village. Soon we will have the apartment ministry open and running in multiple complexes. Praise God for His timing and His Faithfulness!

Meeting at Cracker Barrel

I been having some great meeting the last week trying to line up our ministry opportunities in the international village. It was great to meet some new people like Carol and see some old friends like Betty as well as calling on different apartments to see how the corporate part of our meeting at their facility is coming along. Yesterday, I had the chance to meet with Tim Cummins and his daughter Ashley long time friends and fellow missionaries. We worked together with North American Mission Board. Tim helped me get started with NAMB and was my supervisor. God is at work in Atlanta and I look forward to seeing what God is going to accomplish!!

Riding With The Police

Yesterday I had to great opportunity to ride with the Police. They took me around to different apartment communities and introduced me to managers. I was able to share with the managers Youth Outreach United's vision for Atlanta and my vision specifically for the International Village-

Chamblee/Doraville. What a great day it was. There are many opportunity's to minister here. I have a great idea where we will start. I am just waiting now for the Managers to get permission from the apartment owners. I am very grateful for the confidence the Police is putting into us and for their friendship and support of this project. It was an exciting day! We stopped and had a great lunch together at Mad Italian. I am very proud of the random people who came by the table to tell the officers Thanks You for Serving!I also want to say Thank You to all the men and women who serve us and protect us in our community!!

Raising Support

So I must admit that I have been a little concerned about having to raise support again. That concern, I suppose, just comes from experience. I have always been able to raise the support that I needed for a short-term mission trip. God has blessed us greatly and I have always used that as a confirmation that I was suppose to go on the trip. But for some reason it seems that where we have been abundantly blessed in raising short-term funds, we have never been able to raise much support for our daily mission work here in Atlanta in the refugee and immigrant community. I believe that there are several factors. One being that short-term support is just that a one time gift and people are not prepared to make a long term commitment for monthly support. Secondly, I have found that there are people who believe that refugees and immigrants should not be in the US so therefore they will not support our work with them. Whatever your stance is on this issue, I do submit that these people still need Jesus and to know His love and forgiveness! They are part of our Jerusalem! "You shall witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in all Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." Acts 1:8

We can change our world and our nation for Christ but we have tp be willing to share the gospel with all people!!

New Newsletter

After multiple computer problems I finally got out my 1st offical newletter this week for Youth Outreach United. I am a little out of practice writing letters but I know it will all come back to me in the next few months. I have been very busy with my new work for Y.O.U. but also for our upcoming trip to Belarus. I am grateful to the Lord for restoring my health so that I can serve Him doing what I love to do!!
