Greetings everyone

well the (SBF) students have graduated and things are quiet here at the base.

Things are going good around here I am keeping the grounds looking great

and I am busy piling wood that we cut down. About a week or two ago a group from a church came and cut 40 to 50 trees down I helped cut the trees up in to logs it was fun. One my jobs now is to gather the wood and bring it to the wood lot where we store the wood so it can be split and stacked to dry out be for winter. For this forth of July I will be helping youth center in chetek sell brats, hot dogs and many other things I am excited.

In about two weeks or so I am turning 23 wow time goes fast. This September will be the fourth year that I have been with Ywam. I came to Ywam when I was 19 and now I am turning 23.

I can't wait to see what God has in-store for me for this next year.

well that's all I have for now catch you all later.

Here are some pictures from the (SBF) Graduation.

Greetings all 

April has ended and may has begone. But many things happened in this last month so lets get to.

Things got really busy these last three weeks. The fonder of this campus Bill Lemke turned 90 on April 25/2009 so three weeks before his birthday I had to start preparing for it because some of the staff wanted to have a birthday party for him. This was going to be a big party. Some of the staff started planing for it three weeks before and that Included me. I had to rake all the lawns and clean up branches it was a lot of work but it was all so fun. The good thing about raking is it cleans away all the dead leaves, grass and, anything else that might be on the ground. So that the grass will grow. On Friday the day before the party everyone was very busy decorating and setting tables and chairs up. We had a big tent set up for people to eat in. It was a lot of work setting all the tables and chairs to go in there. The day of the party about 300 people came, quite a few of them were family and the rest were friends. It was a fun birthday party.

On another note my two friends Zach & Christine  and I started working as volunteers at this youth center called The Garage. work there every Friday night and some times Saturday nights for 7:00pm to 10:00pm. It is a lot of fun hagging out with the kids and being a rolmodel for them. 

I feel this is one of the minstries God called me to do and I love it. Please Pray that my friends and I seek God on who to shine his light on these kids.

Well that is all that there is for now, I am praying for you all.

2Corinthians 13:14

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship

of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

Things here on the campus has been slow but good.

(SBF) started a week and a half ago and the students are studying a lot.

Reminds me when I did my (SBF) back in 2006.

In about one week some of my friends and I will be voluntary working at a youth center called the Garage. What we will be doing is just hanging out with the kids, being friend or big brother to those who may not. I am exited that God has called me to do this. 

God has been reveling some cool things to me since I got back from Thailand.

I feel God is calling me to three places Thailand, Chetek WI, and Ywam North woods.

How this is going to work is this.  

Every year I will go with the teams that go to Thailand and work with them.

Then when I am back in the U.S I will work with the Youth Center in Chetek and during the week when I am not working at the Youth Center, I will be working here at the Ywam North woods Campus. But even thou I have these plans there has been one very important lesson God has been teaching me (Be flexible in what ever you do). Cause you never know when God will call you to do some thing else for a while or for ever. When that happens we need to trust in Him and do it with faith. 

I love God so much and know what every God calls me to do it is good and He knows what He is doing.

I give you this challenge if God is calling you to do some thing, wait for his instruction and then do it.

Well that is all for now.

God bless

Hey everyone

well I'm back for Thailand and it was a blast.

I am still getting over jet lag and the time zones Thailand has a twelve hour difference from the US. But other than that things are going well.

DTS is over we had the graduation ceremony last Friday.

Now we have three weeks until The School of Biblical Foundations starts so right now we are resting and getting ready for that school.

I bet you are wondering what we did in Thailand, so here are some pictures

to show what we did. I put some thing with the pictures to explain what is in the picture

Me petting a tiger

This is called a Sung Tell it was our main source of getting to places in the city and to get to Nahong.

we had one sung tell packed with our bags and the other we had to ride in. We had 17 people

and we all packed our selves into the back of this thing.

This is my second grad class that another team mate and I taught.

This is our after school ministry were we would teach the kids Bible stories
and just hanging out with the kids.

Me having fun with the kids by trowing them up in the air and catching them.

Tis the season and things are going well for the
month of December. We had our Christmas love
feast here at the campus on Tuesday the 16th.
It was a fun filled night, we had dinner then after
dinner we sang some worship and Christmas songs.
Then we handed out gifts to all the staff and students,
it was interesting to see what everyone got.
I got this really cool picture from one of my friends.

This picture show nails forming a Cross with the
blood of Jesus on the ends of the nails. It also shows chains
wrapped around the cross with ends of the chains shattering.
The border around the picture has whipping marks covering the border.
There are two bible verses, one on the top and one on the bottom
Isaiah 53:5 and Isaiah 55: 8.
Things are going well for outreach prep, we have
started practicing dramas and we are doing well on
learning the basics of the Thai language. The most important thing that we are learning is unity. Every meeting we have as a team brings us closer together because when we go to Thailand we will need to work as a team and have good unity with one another. I’m a little nervous about the trip, but I am also willing to face the challenges that will be there in Thailand.
Please pray for the team and me. Outreach prep can get trying and can push people to their limits. I have most of the money I need to go, and I would like to thank everyone who helped me thought donations to go on this outreach to Thailand.
Well this is my last news letter for this year.
I will be keeping everyone up to date when I am in Thailand.
This is The Watchman signing off.
Thank you and God Bless.

Hey everyone well summer is over and winter is near. Also we are getting ready for DTS so far we have 9 students coming but we are praying for more. In my last news letter I told you that God had told me to start getting ready for this years outreach to Thailand.
Since then God has been teaching me many things about his love and grace. One of the things He had me do was memorize 1 Corinthians 13 which talks about how we should love. God wanted me to learn the true meaning in this scripture so that I would learn to live it and use it in every thing I do, say and think. For the past two months now my dad and I have been praying to God about how I could get the money I need for Thailand my dad and I felt that God wanted me to find a part time job at first I was not sure that it was God telling me this but after He confirmed it through different people I knew God was telling me He wanted me to do this. But I don’t feel God wants me to find a job just to earn for Thailand I see this as a mission field. What job has me do it will give me the opportunity to show Gods love through serving. Please be praying for me I will need it.
God is good and anything is possible.

Well that is the big news for now if you want to talk to me about it some more please call me or e-mail me.

Till then please by praying for me.
Thank you and God bless
