Dear Friends & Family:

�And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord; It shall rejoice in His salvation. All my bones shall say, `LORD, WHO IS LIKE YOU�...� Psalm 35:9-10

In this past month, I had the chance to teach a youth group about the basics of praise and worship. This was the first time they had heard any teaching on this subject! Also at the end of the meeting, they decided they wanted to put into practice what they learned and we had a good time with God. To teach people about praise and worship is something God has called me to do and especially here in Germany. It was a privilege to have had the chance to teach the youth more about praise and worship and take part in Gods calling on my life.

There are some exciting opportunities to go into German schools and speak in English classes. In one school, a friend and I will be able to go about two times a month and teach English lessons. The other chance I have is to speak in a German University English class. Both chances will be a great time to witness and impact lives for God! Please pray for the spirit of God to lead our words and that His favor would be upon us.

Since my last newsletter, 3 of our paid workers from the government have completed their job terms and are not eligible to return. So, needless to say, we are in need of more help. Please pray for God to send more people with a heart for this ministry and most importantly with a heart that is ablaze for God.

:-) Stay encouraged that your prayers and financial support are making an impacting difference not only here in Germany, but for the Kingdom of God! OH and if you get the chance let me know how you like having the �Daily Prayer Points�. Has God spoken anything to you? Thank you for all that you do. You are a blessing from God.

LOVE GOD, LOVE PEOPLE

P.S. Just to let you know, I am in no real danger as a result of the war in Iraq. I do remain prayerfully cautious of where I go because of potential terrorism. Also, as a result of the Germans not being too fond of Americans right now my German sure comes in handy!. All prayers for protection are welcomed. :-)

Current Prayer Requests:

For helpers and direction for my part in the Project 237 gospel declaration in Europe�s capitol cities this summer. As you read and pray over the PRAYER POINTS on the back of this newsletter, email me if the Lord puts a specific word or a particular burden on your heart. Thanks!
