I can’t express how thankful I am to have so many of you supporting me financially or through prayer. If you are still looking for specific ways to contribute, please consider partnering with me in prayer. The following prayer card is to give you ideas on how to pray for me through the summer. Each day I have provided a suggestion for an area to focus on with a connecting scripture passage. I will also continue to post here with any specific requests. If you click on the image, you can actually print a copy off for yourself! Argentina Card

As always, I also want to remind you that you can contribute through a financial gift by clicking here to go to The Navigators’ website. Click on the “Donate” tab at the top of the page. Type in either my name or ID number (23820071) to directly support this opportunity. Please send your gifts by May 5th. Your gifts are tax-deductible.

Thank you for prayerfully considering this investment in the Lord’s work! I can’t wait to share with you more about how God answers our prayers!

Can a Murderer Go to Heaven?

Can a Murderer Go to HeavenJesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:25-26

 
“What! So you are saying that a murderer can go to heaven if he believes in Jesus?”
 
We spent the night at my friends’ house during the week, and had a wonderful evening of food and conversation. The next morning, her cousin, a 12-year-old girl, woke up and said, “I understand the importance of the Bible etc. It is all quite logical. However, I don’t understand how bad people can go to heaven.” Evidently, she had been listening all evening to our conversation while she was also playing around. Our dear friend still does not quite understand grace, and the fact that all of just have fallen short of God’s perfect standard. However, her curiosity continues, and she always asks us questions that lead to good discussions. We gave her a book of the Psalms to help her understand how broken David was when he approached the Lord.
 
We had a girl’s jewelry making and chocolate chip cookie making party combined, and enjoyed spending more time with some of our friends. The next week, following the party, my mom and a teammate were able to share the Gospel with one of the girls, though she has heard it many times. Another one of the girls came to our house, and was involved in our film night discussion time where she heard truths of the Gospel again.
 
The film nights continue with lots of crowds at our house every Wednesday night. Student friends from the nearby campus come around 6 pm for a meal and some stay until midnight for the discussion. This month we watched the classic Ben-Hur. Themes of revenge, forgiveness and healing in Christ all came out in our discussion. We divided the film into two weeks, so some friends waited in suspense, wondering what kind of encounter Ben-Hur would have with Christ. It also provides a good opportunity for the believer students to share their testimonies. It is a wonderful environment that I look forward to each week.
 
The Lord brings people who want to learn more about Himself to other activities as well. We have themes like Brazilian day, or St. Patrick’s Day, to provide for ways to interact with people.
I continue with my communications projects as well, especially in this season in which there is a lot of transition. I remember to pray for the leaders in our different ministry areas and countries, that the Lord would guide their decisions, and multiply His fruit in these barren lands. May the truth of His resurrection be known in these places, and may we also, remember this incredible victory in Christ.
 
This has been a ministry letter from a dear friend living and ministering in the Middle East.  Her letters make me smile and I love to see what God is doing in her life and those lives she touches with Christ’s love and His redemption.

¡Viva Argentina! – Funding Breakdown

Thank you to everyone who took the time to read my post last week about the mission opportunity that I have to work with a collegiate ministry in Argentina! Our team of 10 will be serving The Navigators’ ministry in La Plata from May 31st to July 24th.  In order to be on the ground in La Plata building relationships among college students and sharing the gospel, it is imperative that I reach my program budget of $5000 before May 5th.

I am sure you are all curious about what all that $$ is going toward, so here is a rough breakdown of the dollars and cents:

Airfare = $1400

Food = $825

Lodging = $600

Administration = $620

Pre-field Expense = $680

Travel and Ministry In-Country = $875

Argentine Change

I am currently 12% funded and very grateful to the friends and family who have been led to partner with me thus far. However, I am still asking you all to prayerfully consider contributing to this ministry opportunity that God has provided me.

If you are being led to give, you may click here to go to The Navigators’ website. Click on the “Donate” tab at the top of the page. Type in either my name or ID number (23820071) to directly support this opportunity. Please send your gifts by May 5th. Your gifts are tax-deductible.

Thank you for prayerfully considering this investment in the Lord’s work. In this next month, I hope to share with you more about what I am learning about Argentine culture while I am preparing. I will also be keeping you all up to date with the challenges, blessings and prayer requests during this time. I can’t wait to share with you as you partner with me in this ministry opportunity!

Habakkuk 2:14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of  the Lord as the waters cover the sea.

Current Prayer Requests:

-That our entire Argentina Team would be 100% funded by May 5th.

-That God would prepare our hearts (and Spanish-speaking tongues) for cross-cultural ministry.

-That we would trust God to bring people and provide opportunities this summer.

-In light of the severe flooding in the La Plata region, that God would grant Chris, Flor and Paula (Navigators in La Plata) peace and understanding of how to lead others to Christ, that they’d be able to help those who have suffered loss, and that God uses this tragedy to advance His Kingdom.
