Wow, I can’t believe it. It’s almost time to leave for Honduras. I’ll be leaving for Omaha in just over 2.5 hours!!! Crazy. My bag is packed, I sure hope I remember to bring everything. Pursuit was amazing, and I hope that I can take what God taught me there and directly apply it during the two weeks. I’m totally ready to go, although a bit nervous and tired. Please keep praying for the team.
May God bless you,
Adam
Just a few minutes ago, I was out and about in Sioux Falls. I was actually looking for some souvenir from SD to take to Honduras and give as gifts to the family that will be providing bedding for about a week. I first stopped at Wal Greens to see if they had some stuff (they didn’t) as well as print of some photos of my family. Well, the photos were going to take a while so I figured I would run to Cross Roads (a Christian bookstore) for a pocket bible to take along. The were closed (its Sunday). Well, lets go to Wal Mart. Maybe they have some stuff. As I’m driving in, I see a man holding a sign
I’m Homeless
I’m Hungry
God Bless
Well, I figure it’s about time I stop running away from these things and actually do something to serve this man. I go into Wal mart, find my 3 dollar souvenir and head to the grocery isle. I don’t know a lot about food, so I call Ashley up (she did use to be a nutrition major) and asked her for ideas. I ended up buy some food for the guy and headed out to give it to him. I took a bible along and a gallon of water. I gave him everything, but he didn’t want the bible.
He told me his name was Anthony. I was able to talk to him, turns out he is no longer with his wife, and heading from North Dakota to Las Angles. He has a lot of hurt in his past, believes that God exists, doesn’t like religion, and doesn’t think God cares much about him.
Please be praying for this man.
Thanks,
Adam
Wow, these last few weeks have gone crazy fast. Classes are done (finals too!). Now were on to Pursuit and then Honduras. I leave for Pursuit 09 tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. from Brookings. We’ll get back Friday night. Then I turn around and leave Sunday night for Omaha and leave early Monday morning for Honduras
I can’t believe an entire year has passed since Pursuit 08. God really reached me last year while there. Actually, he turned my world upside down. He just totally revealed the beauty of His creation. I remember, the last day we were there, myself and two really good friends of mine climbed up Mt. Baldy. You could see for miles in every direction nature (untouched by man) created by God. We pulled out a sheet with lyrics on it and just worshiped our God. Thinking back on it, I realized it is one of the most vivid memories I have. The entire week was like this, we would just pulled out a guitar if we had one, and just sing our hearts out. Camp Judson is such a great place too. All the distractions of the world today (cell phones, computers, Internet) just were not there. It was us, nature, and God. I’m still learning and processing the things that happen at Pursuit last year. I’m looking forward to what God has planned for us.
So, Honduras. I sure hope I have everything I need, if not, I’ll have to go get it next Saturday. I want to thank all of you who have and are supporting me and this trip. It means so much to me that that you keeping me and the team in your prayers. Please continue to to. This is about the time I start thinking about things and am starting to get nervous. It probably reach me even more this week as Pursuit comes to an end faster than I would like it to. Thank you for your financial support too. God made it very clear up front that He would pay for this trip, but even though the needed amount was reached last week, I’m still receiving checks in the mail. Thank you and praise God for His faithfulness.
God is so good! Words are not enough to describe Him or His love.
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you. May He bless you and strengthen you.
My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
