Leading Backpacker’s DTS 08′-09′

 Prepairing for the school has been a real challenge but God is SO good and has helped me through many things. The school begins in one month, and staff training begins in a week and a half. Getting to the point, I have very little time to finish all that is left to do for this school and training my staff. I would greatly appreciate prayer for my current state. Pray that the Lord would provide me with someone to help with all the simple little admin things and “chew the fat with”, so to speak. There are still many decissions to be made and plenty of little things to be done but the Lord is my strength and ever present help.

Praise God though!!! He is so faithful to provide! I hope you never doubt that. Accounting for all that has been pledged and given to me for this trip, I almost have all the money I’ll need for the next 6 months ALREADY! It’s still impossible for me to see what my outreach cost will be (since the school’s outreaches haven’t been decided upon) but with the amount God has provided I can safely say it won’t be more than a few hundred or so. Thanks, to all those who have pledged to support me financially I will be able to lead this school without a worry of finances in my mind. THANK YOU! and God Bless.
