Hello friends and family!
Well we're already through half of September! I can't believe how fast time flies.
Life is going great and I'm loving my new position here and working with the staff here at YWAM Northwoods! It's already been a growing experience and I know that will continue through my tenure here.
Now is the exciting time!! DTS starts on Sep 26th and we already have 10 students! I am steeped in anticipation for what God is going to do in the lives of the students and staff during the school! The lecture phase will start the 26th as I said and outreach will begin the first week in January! We are potentially sending out two different outreach teams, one to Thailand and one to Brazil! I will still be leading the Thailand outreach and I cannot wait! Since I've been here my heart for Nahong has grown and I'm soo ready to go back and get to work spreading the life giving gospel of Christ! I want the Thai people to know true love. To know true hope and vivid life! That's my dream and prayer!
In DTS I will be working with young adults for a 3 month lecture phase and a 2 month outreach phase. Doing one-on-ones with the young men and leading some local outreach as well. I will be one of the people who sets up our teams transportation, translators and ministry in Thailand. I will also be overseeing the English teaching ministry. It will be a lot of work but I am called to serve at the school in Wisconsin and in Nahong Thailand. It will be a great deal of responsibility but I am ready for the challenge.
I would like to ask you to pray about supporting me in my calling and place in the great commission. One of the hardest things about doing this with my life is finances. Because I hate relying on someone other then myself and I can't stand asking you for help. I'm a hard worker and to have to ask for help is very hard for me but it is also good. It has humbled me and brought me closer to God. Because it not only makes me rely on other but I must rely on God for my daily bread! I'm going to be honest with you, at this point I have only two supporters and would greatly appreciate your prayer about this. Thank you SO much for your prayer support. I understand if you cannot support with finances. I thank you for being a friend and a HUGE part of my ministry in prayer. Because like finances, without your prayers I couldn't do this. So thank you and God bless you and your family!
If you would like to help me in my mission, have questions or just wanna talk, please contact me! I would honestly love to talk and get to know you more or answer questions you may have. I also open myself to you if any of you need prayer support about anything. Please don't think I'm just saying that. I would honestly love to pray for you! God bless you. ~Lucas
