sbs finishes!
I cant believe that it was almost 9 months ago that I boarded a plane to come to Taiwan to do a 9-month long school of biblical studies. I remember thinking that it would go on for FOREVER...little did I know that my school staff were actually telling the truth when they said that it would fly by and before we knew it graduation would be here! They were right and I am looking forward to graduating a week Friday. Looking back I can truly say that this was the best decision I have ever made in my life and one of the best years of my life. I have been challenged in EVERY way imaginable. I have come to know and understand God in a deeper way than I could ever imagine and for that know that I am truly blessed. Please pray that I finish these last two weeks strong and get all that I can out of my last 3 books: Zechariah, Malachi & Matthew

big learning of the year...

it is NOT about me...this came slightly as a shock. I always knew that it was about Jesus but didnt really get that it is solely about HIM and...not me. I always thought well...it has to be a little bit about me doesnt it? I mean God has blessed me with so much that it has to be slightly about me...but nope wrong it has nothing to do with me but EVERYTHING to do with Him!! I have been challenged this year to lay down my life, desires, dreams etc so that I can see Gods dreams and desires come to pass. This was such a freeing revelation for me. It reminded me that God is in control and I can trust him with my life and future. Daily I am learning how to let this truth free me as I am challenged me to sacrificially love and pray for others more and walk in a greater generosity to those around me.

starting december 29th I will be starting the titus project. A 3-month long program that aims to equip people with communication skills for teaching and preaching within missions. the training consists of learning to present lectures, teach cross culturally and be able to illustrate the word of God effectively. the training is 3 weeks long and then I will be going on outreach to RUSSIA for 2 months! My team consists of 4 students and 1 staff. while in Russia we will have the privilege to teach and train in an sbs, as well as with church leaders. Our teaching will mainly consist of 6-10 hours a week per team member teaching the inductive method, different books of the bible, bible overview and some preaching. Please keep us in your prayers - I am awaiting the return of my new passport from Canada and for my team - the release of invitation letters, visas and finances to be able to get into Russia. Thank YOU!!
