God is truly faithful. An email informed today me that I have enough funds to make the trip. I haven't even left yet, and yet God is providing in ways that I never would have expected. A huge thanks goes out to those of you who allowed God to use you in that way! He's really revealing Himself to me and assuring me that He's in this trip...it's awesome. Praise Him!

Hey guys. If your eyes fall on these words, then you know their purpose. I'm writing to keep you who are praying for me informed about my trip - hopefully it will be encouraging to you. If your eyes fall on these words, then you also know my name and where I am. Those details are a little sensitive - there are many who are very opposed to light of the Gospel within their borders - so I won't be using my name or disclosing my specific location and I would ask that you don't either. Thanks.

What is the Gospel? Many things come to mind, but I've chosen to focus on one aspect...light. It's the opposite of darkness, and its the only thing with the power to illuminate darkness. Our universe was once dark, but our Father in heaven shone light into it. If you're a believer, then your heart was once darkness and you walked in it, but our precious Savior shone His light into your life. Africa is dark. The only hope for this continent is the Light of the World - Jesus Christ. Please pray not for my safety, but that His glorious Gospel goes forward.

Romans 15:20
And so I have made it my aim to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build on another man’s foundation, but as it is written: “ To whom He was not announced, they shall see; And those who have not heard shall understand.”
