If the mail is running popular many of your supporters will be receiving my support letter within the next few days. I am excited to share my life with those that are sharing in their resources to support me. Well I think that it is important to see where your prayers and financial support is going to so through this blog I will hope to update many of you on my life and my mission.
My mission: I am on a mission by God to change lives. God has laid many things on my heart lately, one of those things is a passion to be a disciple-maker, and also a disciple. Part of that process is finding those who will disciples me and teach me various life lessons, I have found a good group of friends here at MCC that are a part of my life and are daily encouraging me to follow God whole-heartedly, and allow me to encourage them to follow God in the same way.
Not only is my mission here at MCC but also in Manhattan the city that I live in. Recently I have made a decision to not just let this be the town where I go to school, but also be the place that I live. I am currently praying about my involvement in Faith Evangelical Free Church, and praying that God will use me in this Church so that I might be a disciple and a disciple-maker. With this I hope to be a part of a community larger than MCC and myself.
My life: Currently life is busy; however, Praise the Lord! I got a job at Extreme Kansas camp this summer! I am excited for this opportunity, currently I am not exactly sure what I will be doing at camp, I know that there is camp during first month and a half, give or take a week, and then we will travel across the Midwest to offer encouragement to Churches. I will be sending out support letters for this summer as well, asking people to support me as I minister to churches. This support will be similar to the support I am asking for while I go to The Bridge. As you read this, you might consider supporting me in prayer for one opportunity and financially in the other.
I started working at Dairy Queen again, though I am not taking on many hours, I am just in need of a paycheck, this job might make things hard being that I am enrolled in 18 hours, but I think that through this I can learn about time management and maybe grow, at least I hope so. At Dairy Queen I hope to be a witness to God while I am there, and that through my actions and words I might preach the Gospel. Pray for me that I a witness to my co-workers at DQ.
School work is starting to get to me, I have been able to procrastinate most things until now; however, now I am not getting much sleep. I pray that I might finish the homework that is due and then once again grow from this struggle and continue on with the work that is necessary. Pray that I learn time management and that I don't fall further behind.
Life for the most part is good, I cannot complain. I love being back in Manhattan surrounded by Christian principles, I can only ask that God continues to use me and prepare me for my life in ministry, and that through my time at MCC I am molded into the person that God wants me to be.
I thank God for each and every one of my supporters, recognizing that I cannot do the things that I would like to do without God's provision. I ask for prayer, that God will prepare my heart for these opportunities, and that God gives me opportunities where I must rely on Him.
Your brother in Christ,
Aaron
PS. I will post the amount of support I have received, in my next few posts, I will try to post daily, due to the small amount of time between the time that you will get my letter, and the time that I need the money. This update will show you how much money I have received for the Bridge Trip. If I send out support letters for camp, I will make sure to mention how much support I have received for that opportunity as well. Once again thanks for your support.
The Bridge Financial Support Update: $25. Praise God!
