Newsletter May 2008

Do you know why I get so pumped up about online evangelism and discipleship? Here are a few comments sent through Global Media Outreach (GMO), just as I received them (totally unedited):

I have been born and raised a mong a muslim family, in 1990 I have received jesus, I waited more than 10 yers to get my bible. I am the only Beleiver in my area. My family has isolated me and I suffer so much to be by myself with my believ. Please pray for me to be able to be with true Chrsitian ones to learn more about my Heavenly father. I never prayed with others in person, I never had any course in Christianity. I am so hungery to learn more about my lord --- from a 48 yr old male in the Middle East

i have just recommited my life to God. i want you to biuld me up spiritualy cos i realy want to grow........... from Joel in Nigeria

i really honorably thank you by giving me this information I've never seen like the growth i loved it -- from Jesús in California


These remarks are encouraging. Recently I have felt especially blessed by God. He is using me in so many areas. Please pray for the following:

Global Media Outreach – That many more people around the world would come to trust in Jesus and grow in their faith through this dynamic online ministry.


Miami Dade College – Homestead -- Our campus ministry (CRU) will start again Fall semester. Please pray that we can reach more students and that God would give us the wisdom to select a few FAT students (faithful, available, teachable) for discipleship training.


UNILID – That God would continue to give me opportunities to teach in Latin America. Campus Crusade staff in Ecuador are considering taking the Apologetics course.


International School Project (ISP) – That I would be able to return to Guatemala in February 2009, hopefully with both old and new volunteers, so that we can reach more teachers and children through the “Foundations of Christian Ethics” curriculum.


My Homestead church – We recently moved to a new campus at a Middle School. Many new people are coming to Christ and we are having some growing pains. We desperately need more volunteers. Every week we must set up and then tear down everything and store them in trucks.

The Orlando Institute (TOI) -- My transfer to the Faculty of this Campus Crusade leadership training school is almost complete. There are so many good opportunities that sometimes I feel overwhelmed. Please pray that God will show me what He wants me to do and give me the strength to do it.

Ministry Partnership Development– Before I can get deeply involved with my new Faculty position, I need to raise more financial support, including additional expenses for my new TOI ministry. I will be in Washington State from May 23 through August 19.

o Please pray that God would direct me to new partners who desire to join our team “to build spiritual movements everywhere so that everyone will know someone who truly follows Jesus.”
o My specific schedule is not determined yet, although I do already have some times committed. Meetings with individuals and couples are easier to arrange but partner churches often have limited dates available.
o Pray for safe travel and good health.
May God continue to bless you all richly,
