Mini Camp!

In less than 48 hours our new recruits will be running around Rochester, New York doing their very first activity together. I cannot believe that they will be here all so soon. This week and the previous one have been filled with a lot of prep work. I will be teaching the sessions on face to face support raising. I’m quite excited about this opportunity. I’m also co-teaching Biblical Foundation of support raising. While preparing for these teachings I have been so overwhelmed with thankfulness for those of you who have so faithfully sewed into my ministry financially and through prayers. Thank you so much for investing in the souls of China.

Please be in prayer for this event. We are asking that the Lord would give us clarity on who He is calling to go to China with us this August. I am so excited to get them all together. Yesterday as we wrote down the list of people coming to minicamp it was so exciting to think about how God is going to use each one of them to change the nation of China. Each person that is coming has the potential to reach so many Chinese students and bring them back to the Kingdom of God. God misses His children and is ready for them to come into His fold!

Specific prayer requests for this weekend:

-We would rely on God’s strength and not our own.

-During ministry times the Holy Spirit would show up in a powerful way.

-We would have discernment who God is calling to go to China

-For me as I teach my classes on support raising.

Thank y’all for praying. I love you all! On a personal note, I’m headed to Midland/Big Spring, Texas April 23-May 2^nd. Hope to see some of you there!

So that His Kingdom is furthered,

        From Ben:

I first met Bruce at one of our Tea Bible Studies. Terry brought him. I didn’t see him much before our trip to Thailand but I knew he would come to Christ… When Bruce came back from Chinese New Year, I had lunch with him and he poured out to me. At first he kept talking about the great time, he had with his old child-hood friend. But I asked well, what about your family? Bruce said, “I don’t want to talk about that”. A little while later, he told me that his parents were separating and considering divorce. So I pra*ed for him. Next week after that, I had dinner with him and poured out my heart. I told him how my parents had been divorced as I came into China. He apologized because he prejudged me. Bruce thought I was just some rich American coming to visit China and make friends. I told him how hard it is everyday that I’m here to tell people of Dad and his grace. When the very person who introduced me to Chr*st has turned away from him. I told Bruce that even if he accepts Dad life will still be hard but Dad will help you through it. I told Bruce that during the time of my decision to come to China if Dad told me, I would go to China and not have any friends or people who liked me except for a man named Bruce that I would meet. I would still choose to come all the way to China just to tell Bruce that Dad loves him. Immediately he wanted to leave the restaurant and walk on campus. I knew he was ready to make the decision. I took him to campus and sat on what I now call the Bruce bench! He asked Jes*us into his heart, to forgive him of his sins and he closed the pray*r with “I pra* that you help B*n’s family”. Then he looked at me and said I will pra* for your parents when I pra* for mines.     

From Matt: 

       Let me tell you a story. It’s a True Story. A story about my friend named Vincent.

       About one month ago, we had our first guys’ night. My friend Kyle had asked if he could bring a friend, we were delighted that he wanted to bring a friend. Our guys’ night was rather cool; we chilled and played some games. We met Kyle’s friend Vincent. We proclaimed the good news, and talked about some other things too. After the party, Kyle asked me if Vincent could talk to Ben and I, after everyone left.  They all left, and Vincent helped us clean up.   

     I sat down with Vincent and we started to chat. He began to pour his heart out and my roommates sat down with us. He told us of his troubles and all we did was listen. He then asked if we could help him. I told him to read Psalm 91. He read and Atlas began to talk to him about the good news. Enoch then thank him for being so open. Then Vince told us that the whole reason that he came to our guys night was so we could talk.

     We then asked him if he wanted Jes*s to be his Sav*our. He told us that was the reason he came over. So, there we introduced him to Dad and gave him a B*ble.  He gave his heart to Dad that night.     Two weeks later, I was privileged to witness Vincent’s baptism. Kyle baptized his dear friend and was thrilled to do so. Vincent has since begun to learn more about Dad and how he works .  

Be encouraged!! God is bringing more men into His Kingdom!

Love you all!!
