Outreach Options and that Jazz…. yeah =)
Thank you all for your prayers. I am doing well and enjoying staffing this Backpacker’s DTS. It’s the middle of week three right now and I’m getting along well. I’ve found myself constantly on the go lately so today I’ve taken some time to get things done, such as this. 
So far in lectures we’ve learned the basics of intercession and worship as well as Identity, Spiritual warfare, Integrity and Holiness. Some topics to to come are Holy Spirit, Father Heart of God, Lordship, and Relationships. I look forward to all that God has for me over these next couple months.
This past weekend I took a group of students up to Arthur’s Pass for an overnight camping trip. We backpacked in which only took about 2 and some hours to a hut. The hut had a couple staying in it and four free beds so a few people slept in that while two guys and I slept in a tent. Three guys and I hiked to the summit of the mountain the next day and it was BEAUTIFUL! It was completely snow capped and my toes were ice cubes, but it was absolutely worth it. The couple we’d met were Christians and I hope to catch up with at another time. They attend a small church in Christchurch that none of us had ever been to so I might check that out.
Over this past week the leaders have organized our outreach teams for this school. The outreaches are New Zealand, Southeast Asia, India/Nepal, and Egypt/Israel. I have been placed in charge of the outreach team to India and Nepal. This outreach will be 10 weeks long beginning late December and will cost $2,800 US, not including my travelers health insurance. Flying into New Delhi we will progressively work our way through India into Nepal doing backpacker evangelism. This will mostly be ministering to the travelers at our hostels, yet where other ministry arises I would love to jump on the opportunity. As well I hope to do some style of video journal throughout the trip. The team is comprised of 6 students: a married couple from Switzerland, a girl from Denmark, a girl from England, and two other dudes from Colorado. As more plans are made I will make updates but as of right now that’s about all I know.
I have all my expenses paid, except for the cost of this outreach. The base is asking that I get as much of this money in ASAP seeing how we need to buy our tickets. I am asking for your help in funding this ministry. I am expecting incredible things to come from this outreach and am EXTREMELY excited to see what God does.
Please be praying for my team. Pray for opportunities, unity, and focus. As well just pray peace over me in this time of planning. Thank you
By the way, Sorry for my photo gallery not working at the moment. i’ll be trying to get that back up and running soon.
