This is my latest prayer letter (March 2011). I am a missionary working with Athletes in Action in Spain, using the platform of sport to impact the world for Christ! Reflect the Glory to God!
It is a little difficult to read so I have put the text below to make it a bit easier!
Praises & Prayer Requests
· Pray for the Lord to raise up supporters for the upcoming Turkey Tour I will be going on
· Pray for increased communication between the staff of AIA in Spain
· Pray for the hearts of the students we have been able to connect with, especially Marili
· Praise God He is holy and just and deeply desires to have a personal relationship with each of us
Dear Friends,
I cannot believe it is almost April! What a month! I arrived back in Spain a few weeks ago and have been slowly readjusting to life on this side of the ocean.
The night I arrived in Spain I suffered a severe hives outbreak (they believe I caught something on the plane or in an airport) and had to spend a couple hours in emergicare. The doctor gave me a cortisone shot and thankfully with many prayers and time it went away. What a crazy way to be welcomed back!
Last week a group of students from the University of Ohio, who are part of their core AIA group, came for a spring break visit to Malaga to serve us and our ministry. We had a great time interacting with students here in Malaga and also at the University of Granada. God opened up many doors for us to share the gospel with numerous students and it was incredible to see how many expressed interest in learning more about what it means to follow Jesus and to have a personal relationship with Him! (Less than 1% of the people in Spain truly follow Jesus)
There was one girl in particular (her name is Marili) that I interacted with that showed great interest in wanting to find the “truth” about spirituality and exploring who God is. I am planning on meeting with her sometime this week to help guide her in finding the “truth” (Jesus!) Praise God!!
I have continued to play basketball with the team I was on before I had to return to the States. We have two games left in the season and I am praying for a divine opportunity from God to share my faith with my entire team!
After prayerful consideration I have concluded that the Lord is calling me to travel to Turkey in May with the Athletes in Action Women’s Basketball Tour. During this tour our Athletes in Action team will be competing in the University Games and sharing our faith during every game at half time and through interacting with other teams who are participating in the games. This tour will cost me an extra $2,500 I had not budgeted for, so I ask that you prayerfully consider joining on as a supporter for this tour. Not only will there be many opportunities to share my faith but I will be poured into greatly by daily discipleship, AIA Principle Training, and being held accountable by teammates to play and practice for an Audience of One (My Savior Jesus Christ)!
Please let me know how I can be praying for you and your families.
God Bless!
