Thailand is coming up so quick, in two days I will be flying overseas to Bangkok Thailand. I am going to be there for 9 1/2 weeks, spreading the gospel. helping at a coffee shop, doing prayer walks, skits, and other various things to further the kingdom of God. I thank God so much for the opportunity that He has given me and I thank God so much for each one of you that have supported and continue to do so without your help this all would not be possible. I pray that your reward in heaven shall be great. Please keep the two teams that are going lifted in prayer, there is a total of 28 of us students plus staff that are going.

Tomorrow my brother is going to be flying in to Colorado Springs and is going to be staying here till Sunday, and my parents are going to be coming on Friday as well. They are coming to see me off before I head to Thailand, please keep them in your prayers as they will be traveling. I am so excited for them to come here and I am so thankful that I get to see them before I head out. I can not wait to show them around all the cool places here in Colorado, and to take them to the church that I have been going to as well. God is so good and faithful and He has shown me how important family is. I encourage you to never lose sight of that the importance of family. Cherish them during there time here because you never know what day can be yours or theirs last. So take the time to call if they do not live near you and take the time to spend with them during the day if they do live near you. I love all you guys and consider you family in the body of Christ thank you all for your prayers and support as I have decided to be a missionary full time you guys are awesome and I could not do anything without you or Jesus. God Bless you and remebe
Thailand is coming I cant believe it, how close it is here. God is so good to give me this opportunity to go and spread His word to the people of Thailand. I could not do this without your guys support, I thank you all very much. God has been doing some great things here at the base in Colorado already in my life and has changed it drastically. I can not even imagine the change that is going to come during the 9 1/2 weeks I am going to be in Thailand. Its so crazy for me to think about what God is doing in my life. I am excited to be able to have the opportunity to speak with Buddhist monks about the gospel, I know that through the power of God that He will be able to softened the hearts of the Thai people and that if only one of them gives their life to the Lord it will be worth the whole entire trip. I thought that I would be nervous a little bit about going over to Thailand, then God told me why are you nervous I have you in the palm of my hand, I got you you have nothing to be nervous about. So I am going full force and I am going to take whatever I can from this trip and use it all to glorify our creator. While I am there and when I can I will post pictures up that we take there. I pray that God will bless each one of your lives tremendously and that God will move
What does Faith mean to you, we hear that word all the time in Christianity you need to have faith, faith like a mustard seed. How can we explain that though to people who do not know God how can we show them there is a creator that loves them, but that they can not physically see. How can we let them know about a God that died for their sins on a tree, how can we let them know about a God that went through such an incredible and painful death for us and them. The answer for me is simple, we need to show them love. We need to show them the love of Christ, the world so much nowadays is showing hate, and saying that you are not good enough if you do not have money, a nice house, a nice car. They say if you do not have these things that you are nothing in the eyes of the world. My question is does that stuff even matter, do we really need it in our lives? Sure those things are nice, but we should not want them if they are keeping us from God if they are hindering our relationship with Him. My question for you is what are you willing to give up today for Christ? It does not have to be something big unless you feel it necessary, it could be something small, like not going to your favorite restaurant for that month, or if you want it could be something big like not taking that big like committing your life to sharing the gospel around the world, or not taking that big business deal that can potentially make you millions. I am not asking you or telling you that you should give up something right now for like a month or two. I am asking though to consider it, for example for me I have decided to do missions the rest of my life. I want to share the gospel with people God has given me that desire in my heart and I am going for it. So I am asking you to go for it give up something today that will help you draw closer to the Lord God bless you and I love you guys
It is getting so close I am over filled with joy to be heading to Thailand. God is so good, leaving April 2nd, heading to Thailand to bring the good news of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God has been bringing amazing things into my life I am so glad I gave my life over to Him. I ask that you guys please keep me in your prayers as I will be heading over there for 9 1/2 weeks. This will be the longest I have stayed out of country. It feels like a long time but I know that it will go by so fast, God is going to move there and allow us to accomplish great things during our time. Just like He moved while I was in Africa for two weeks God is going to move while we are in Thailand. We are going there to be a help to the ones who stay there permanently for long periods of time. Leaving at 6am on the 2nd of April I do not know what it is going to be like, I have a little bit of an idea, but I know that God is going to blow my mind out of the water while I am there. I know that the 30 of us Discipleship Training Students (DTS) are going to have a life transformation, along with the staff that is coming along as well. Thank you all that are keeping us lifted up in prayer God Bless you. I want to encourage you all to keep your spiritual flame burning bright for Jesus as we shall do the same while we are in Thailand. I know that through your prayers and financial support and the help from God we can accomplish the goals that God has set out before us to do. I love you all very much have a blessed day in Jesus. Oklahoma was great we were able to help the guy get a lot of things done that he needed. I helped paint some of the walls, we also cleaned out a lot of homes that he had on some property. What he is going to do with these homes is help kids get off the streets and start better lives with a relationship with Christ. We also went to two church services where some of the kids in our Dicipleship Training School (DTS) shared some things about Thailand and also shared a couple of their testimonies as well. The guy was amazing that we stayed with and he told us if any of us were ever in Oklahoma again that we had a place to stay including our familes. He has a gymnastics team that comes there every once in awhile and to do their practices along with a wrestling group as well. He had this vision of the homes for kids on the streets awhile ago and it was awesome to be a part of that vision by helping him get a step closer. I thank you all that are keeping me in your prayers Thailand is coming very soon April 2nd we will be leaving im so excited to see what God is going to do there.

Today we are going to be getting ready to head to Oklahoma, but first we are going to be heading to the base in Denver and have some worship with them, before Denver. I am excited to go and check out another YWAM base and see what it is like. I had so much fun when they came here to our base awhile back, and we had worship here. Oklahoma is going to be awesome as well, we are going to be giving object lessons. It is where you take anything and try and correlate it with the Bible and how it can pertain to our lives. We are also going to be speaking at a church there in Oklahoma as well, showing our object lessons and some others are going to be playing worship at the church as well. I am so excited to see what God is going to do in Oklahoma and the people we are going to meet and come across I can't wait. God is so good and when we trust Him its amazing to see what He does with our lives, the places He takes us that we would of never of though of going. The people we come across that we never thought of meeting, I wonder what would happen if we really took the time to live like Jesus did. I always feel like we let our lives get to busy. Jesus when He was here He got interrupted all the time, wherever He was going He opened His eyes to see what was around Him and what He could to where He was at. Let us not always be in a hurry to get to where we think we have to go so badly, but let us while we are heading there take time to look around and see who can we touch, whose life can we be a quick part of along the way. I love you guys and I pray that all is going well with you and may God bless you today.
Yesterday the guys here in my DTS Discipleship Training School we all got together and we went and did this thing what we call a prayer walk. What we do is get together and pray about a place that God will show us where we should go. We prayed and we got some pictures and some words, and we saw that God wanted us to go to Acacia Park in downtown Denver Colorado. So we headed down there with a football in hand and our mind focused on what the Lord wanted us to do there. We got to talk to this one homeless man and we got to hear his story a little bit. We sat and talked with him shared Jesus and also prayed for him as well. Nothing too crazy or exciting happen as far as someone getting healed or saved, but what did happen is this, we got to show the love of Jesus. We got to bring His presence into that place and show His love to the people we came across. See what I want to do is go there every weekend before we leave and sit down and talk with some of the same people if they are there, and be a part of their story. That is what we need to do as believers is come down to peoples level and go to them, get out of our comfort zone an get down to their level. Just by doing that they want to get to know us, they want to know what makes us so different that we take the time to get to know them. I want to encourage you today or whenever you read this. To get out of your comfort zone, go to a park or to a grocery store, and just show love. Show the love of Jesus that you have inside of you. You never know what could happen, someone might come to the Lord someone might get healed right there on the spot, you never know.. It could also just be a regular day where you just talked with them got to know them, but your presence and the love that you show will make a difference in their lives cause they will see that there is something different about you and eventually they will start asking questions. So my challenge for you is to get out of your comfort zone and go and make a difference today.
Today my friend Ryan here at YWAM him and I went to the park and helped serve out pizza to the homeless. Listen to some music got to minister to some people and also the man running it his name is Doug Staller, he called us up and prayed for me and Ryan for our trip to Thailand in the middle of the park. It was really awesome just to see the smiles on each persons face as they got pizza and got to listen to the Word of God. It was truly a blessing to be around and I had a great experience. Some of the other kids here on the DTS went downtown as well and are singing some songs and talking with people about the Lord as well. I was not able to go with them cause there was no room, but I do believe that we are going to do it again tomorrow and I cant wait. I love doing those type of things and ministering to the people right in our own backyard.I have been really enjoying myself here getting to meet new people and just experience the full life that God has for me its awesome. God Bless you all Love you
