Some Highlights
When I was in Irvine CA. I got to stay with Jim and Sandy Fiecht. There daughter was a squad leader last year. I got to see something rare here. I got to see the man of the house leading his family in righteousness. Jim is a man who loves God and is seeking to know more of His love everyday. I was so encouraged to see this. Most places I visit, the women of the house are the spiritual leaders. But not in this house. Jim was in hot pursuit of God. He walked with such a tender heart. I felt so encouraged, blessed and honored to meet him. My hope is that more men will lead there home’s towards the Lord. I hope that I will do the same too.
In Sacramento we stayed with an alumni named Zach Toth. One day we had another alumni come to visit. She said she only had a few minutes. Once she sat down she got right into it. She shared the reality of her life. Her struggles and what had been really heavy on her heart. We got to pray and speak some Truth to her. This was probably the quickest I’ve ever seen a stranger get into the nitty gritty. I loved that she felt so safe and seen. That she could share the hardest things in her life with strangers. But the truth is that through Christ we were not strangers. I’ve learned from her, that the body of Christ is there for one another. Even if you have never met them before. Jesus brings us all into one giant family.
We stayed in Salt Lake City with a house full of world racer’s. These guy’s all went home from the field due to covid. But instead of going home, back to “normal” living. A group of them decided to all move in together, in place they’ve never been. I think this was one of the first homes where it was completely run and filled with world race people. They were incredible! There hope is to bring God’s Kingdom right there in Salt Lake City. I really loved seeing people leave the comforts of home and move to a new place with so many unknowns. All of this to bring people the truth and love of Jesus Christ. What a blessing these brothers and sisters are to everyone in Salt Lake City.
From the heart
Here is a video of a real question I had to ask myself this last month.
What’s next
I am headed to Omaha Nebraska this week. One of my teammates from my original squad is getting married. I am blessed to be in his wedding. After that, the hope is Colorado. We will spend a few days connecting with people and bringing the love of Christ. Then we will head towards Minnesota. Matt and I have to fly out of there on Jun 16. The next Gap squads start a small training camp. Then it’s back to Minnesota and on the road.
Prayer Requests
We have this new van and I’m not sure how far it can go. Pray that it will get us everywhere God wants us to go.
Prayers for my heart. I can sometimes struggle to weep with those who weep, or rejoice with those who rejoice. Please pray for my heart and understanding to be more like Jesus.
The Gap squads of 20/21 are about to finish there 9 month journey. Pray that they would not stop seeking Jesus when they get home.
Special thanks to each one of you who has supported me. The Lord has blessed me through you. Through your prayers and donations. I’m glad we get to do this together, because I know you are praying for me. Let’s all seek God’s Kingdom. Let’s push forward and let our livese bring honor to King Jesus. Love you guy’s! Blessings over your day and your life, in Jesus name amen.
