its been a long time kids

well it has been a while since i have updated, i never thought i would turn into that person.  i hate people that never update, and it looks like i need to practice what i preach!  Anyway this semester has been super busy, and it has been really hard to keep motivated already, and to keep on task.  So....that stinks! 

So my camera is toast, and it isnt gonna ever turn on again.  so that is lame, so don't look for photos on here for a long time, considering i gots no money for a camera....lame.

youth group has seemed to be taking a nose dive since i got back from california.  I am not sure what God has in store, but no one has been coming to much stuff since then.  Everyone is going over to another church in town, that is much more flashy, etc.  I am not sure why, it is the same as always, but it looks like god is doing something.  Either he is weeding out the kids who don't care, or he is weeding us out.  It has honestly been extremely tough and very challenging.  On to top it all off, we had parents prayer tonight and no one showed.  But i took the opportunity to spend time in prayer, and i left blessed, and just wanting to see God move.  I was going to share how in Joshua when the 5 kingdoms were attacking the Gideonites, and since Joshua and Israel had a treaty, they came down to the dirty south to bail them out, and the Lord did some miraculous stuff, and threw down large hailstones, and gave them more daylight.  I think it was an amazing story of just being obedient, and seeing God move in ways that are just so completely out of the ordinary, and more than ever expected.  So i look at prayer that way, and I guess my life and the ministry.  There is only so much that i can do, but the real power and ability comes from God.  I pray for his equipping, leading, and Spirit to pour out into my life, as well as the kids in the Youth Group.  It has honestly been hard to remain faithful, but I know I gotta focus on what God has called me to do, the simple life of faith in the minstry, and just see where he leads. 

so if you think of it be praying for me, and praying for the kids.

hey bro - may the Lord really give you the strength to be where He has called you, not because of the fruit, but just for the sake of the Vine. the 1st year we were in svitlovodsk we only had 2 people besides our ministry team coming to Bible studies. (i posted an audio clip on my blog with a testimony about what the Lord taught us through that time and what He did if you're interested).
