The Watchman's Post watch date 4.4.09

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.

The Watchman's Post watch date (3.6.2009) Thailand Report

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.

The Watchman’s Post
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

Well July is over and I am twenty two now it fells strange knowing your older than you were a month before. Any way things here at the base are busy the last two weekends, on the 6th of this month all of us single staff went to Michigan to help run a camp call rise up. All of us were counselor's and were assigned to a cabin. When I was a kid I always liked going to camp so I was excited when I helped lead one.

this last weekend we hosted a conference called Set Apart, we had five youth group there and had a total of 150 people there it was assume we had some of the youth pastors speak different topics, worship was amazing when we came together we could feel God moving in the room, one of our staff member Holly did a teaching on God being in everything and being with you even thou you don't think He's their. It really spoke to a lote of people and especially me cause I have been worrying about how I'm going to pay for outreach, but when I listened to what Holly said it made me realize that God will always be there no matter what. But some times it is hard to trust in God cause we do it our way cause we feel our way is easier. God knows what your going to be doing be for you even think of doing it. He had me realize that and I thank him for it, I love God so much He is there when I am asleep, He's there when I awake, He there when I overcome some thing, He's there when I fall, and He is also there when I need some one to comfort me when I am lolly or sad, I will trust in Him with my life, everything I have is his nothing is mine any more it's a his my life is his, why because He loves me and I love Him ''1 Corinthians 13:7 (It always protects, always trusts, always hops, always perseveres love never fails.)

Always trust in God cause He will always take care of you always.

Please pray for me I really need it, I can't do anything with out God and I don't want to.

Blessings to you

I am back from my trip to Virgina and I am glad to be home.
The ride home was long but thing went well when we got back.
thing are quiet around here all the students are gone and most of all the staff are on summer vacation. On July 19Th I will be turning 22 years old I'm excited.
also the 27Th of July I will be working at the Lake Geneva youth camp. I will be there for one week It is going to be fun.

this year I feel God is calling me to back to Thailand. last year I could go because I didn't have the amount of money I needed to go and God tolled me that I wasn't ready yet.

But last spring I was having my morning time with God when I heard God tell me to start getting ready this years outreach to Thailand.

I wasn't sure at first so I prayed on it for a few days cause I wanted to be sure that it was God telling me this. After those few days I knew it was God.

So I started studying the bible and reading it every day. I also started studying The Thai language so when I go back there I will be able to know a little bite of what they say to me. It is not easy but I will do my best

But for me to do this there are two major things I am going to need. The first one is Funds if you or any one you know would be able to give towards this outreach it would help me out a lot The cost will be $2000 but you don't have to give that much give what you feel is right, but the most important thing I need is prayer there is a lot of spiritual war fare in Thailand and I need all the protection I need from God and praying helps a lot
If you and your family could pray for me it will help me fulfill Gods plan for Thailand.
Last year I was part of a prayer and intersession team. We prayed for the team that went to Thailand, when they came back they said that the prayer help them shield them selves from Satan's evil forces, so they could show the people Gods love.
The outreach doesn't go until January 1 but I want to start get ready now so I'm not late.

I will update you about the outreach when i now more info about it till then
that is all for now please pray and ask God if you should give or not.
