Jesus said, “ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find.”  There are other passages that are similar as well.  I want to be very careful here.  Doesn’t mean, ask for a fancy car, house, or money, etc, but to ask what you need.  God has challenge me to be a faith base ministry, seeking the Lord for everything.  I gave up my job a few years ago so I could devote myself to needs of the youth around us.  My ministry consist of speking at youth retreats, revivals, camps, sharing the only true hope of Jesus Christ.  I also spend time discipleling young leaders for the future.  You can look around the web-site to get more information about the ministry.  There is a need for a vehicle to help with the ministry.  Please pray that God would provide one for me to keep the ministry going.  Please pray how God might use you, maybe you can give money, maybe you have an extra car in your garage that you are not using.  Please pray how you can help.

For His Glory,

Blessings to everyone!!!!  Everyday I am amazed that God has allowed me to be apart of His Kingdom.  I count if all joy to live my life for the sake of the Kingdom.  It it always easy, not always.  There are days that I wonder if I am doing the right thing.  Some times God will lead to do something that doesnt make sense.  We have to go through trials to gain faith and trust in the Lord.  Jesus is worth giving my life for the Kingdom.  That has been my prayer to God that he would transform my life, my thinking and the way I live for the sake of the poor and lost around me.  This means giving up my dreams and my desires for the sake of the Kingdom.  This is nothing new thoughm this is the invitation Jesus gives to those who want to follow HIM.  Give up everything, and then follow HIM.  There are times where I don’t understand things in my life, but getting to draw closer and nearer to the LORD is the beauty facing trials and challenges.  What are you living for, and most of all WHO are you living for.  God wants to do a great work through you.

Please continue to pray for the ministry.  It has been a little slow, so pray for opportunities to open up.  Pray for new directions as well.

For the Kingdom,

Tim

What can I say about this weekend.  It is amazing to see God touch lives of young people.  Nothing that I can do or any body can…ONLY GOD can do a work of giving life to a person.  Youth desiring to follow Jesus at no cost is a beautiful thing to see and be apart of.  God is preparing these youth to rise up and live a Radical life for Jesus.  I am honored to do what I do, Preach the Word of God.  Pray for our churches to have a hunger to reach young people for Jesus, especially those who are homeless, on drugs, hopeless, the outcast.  That is true love.

Continue to pray for the Ministry that God would continue to provide finacially and open opportunities to share Christ to others.  Prayer is the key for the work of the Lord.  I beg you to join me in prayer to see God move in a powerful way.

blessings,

Tim

October 1st and 2nd I get the opportunity to preach the Gospel at a retreat.  I am always privileged to preach the Word.  Pray for this weekend that God would encounter the lives of those who are going to be there that weekend.  Only God can change a persons life, so please pray for that.  Many people are hurting and suffering in this world, Jesus is the only hope we have.

Thanks,

Tim

Well I can’t believe it has been already 2 weeks since I have been back from Guatemala.  I really miss being there.  Thank you to all who prayed for me will I was down there.  God did some great things and there is such a need over there.  I see Guatemala in future soon Lord willing.

Well, pray for me, I need God to open up a door for ministry.  I really love working with youth and parents, so something in that nature would be good.  I wish churches would give you a chance to work in their church, instead of demanding a certian degree.  My life is in Gods hands so I don’t worry to much about that.  Please pray for the ministry, for more opportunities to travel speaking or doing audio engineering. 

Thanks in advance for your prayers.

In Him,

Tim

Well my day are narrowing down here in Guatemala.  Time sure has flown bye.  I am kind of bummed about heading back home.  God has really blessed my time here and wish I could stay longer.  I see myself coming back pretty soon for a longer period of time.  There is just so much work to be done over here and I really want to help.  My heart goes out to alot of places and hopefuly God would allow me to  visit those places as well. 

One of the thoughest issue for me is what do I do next.  I just want to be obedient to the Lord, and want to grow more in faith in HIM.  Sometimes it doesn’t make sense following Jesus, but I want to be willing and ready for whatever He wants me to do.  If I stay in the US, I feel the Lord leading me to start a church.  I feel that the church is in a decline spiritualy in the states.  Very few churches are actually getting what it means to be a follower of Jesus.  I am not saying I have all the answers to solve the issues, but God has really given me a passion to reach out to the community in a different way.  I have really been enjoying listening to David Platt, pastor of The Church at Brookhills.  I love what he is doing and how he is really challenging his congregation to step it up and live the only way possible and that is a Radical life for Jesus. 

Please pray that my next few days would be fruitful here in Guatemala for His Kingdom.

Today was a great day of worship in the House of the Lord.  It is beautiful to get together with other brothers and sisters and worship our Saviour.  Friday and Saturday I hosted a revival at the church here in Guatemala.  My passion is to see young people seeking and following the Lord.  To many are caught up in this world of junk, but I fight the battle to see people come to Christ.  So Friday and Saturday was a time to come together and here the WORD preached.  God moved in a mighty way.  The situations that many teenagers come from really scares me.  Their living conditions, education and just the things they face in life make me feel like a wimp.  These teenagers are going through a tough time.  I spoke on God’s love for them and how they could be the ones to change the cycle of their families situations.  Many do not have hope, are discouraged and lost, but many broke down and were able to talk about some of the junk in their lives.  Please continue to pray for these youth so God would put his hands around them and guide them in HIS steps.

God has been teaching me many things.  Sometimes I feel like not even going back to the states.  I have really enjoyed my time here and the need is great here.  Our lives in America is so comfortable and our spiritual lives seem very weak.  Please pray for me as I seek the Lord for my future, to be obedient to HIM.

These last couple of weeks being here in Guatemala, I have been going over “Crazy Love”  by Francis Chan and “Radical”  by David Platt and of course diggin in the WORD.  God has really been diggin into my heart and shaping me to be more like HIM.  I can’t find any thing more satisfying than sharing the Gospel of Jesus to people.  My prayer is that God would continue to take away the things in my life that do not honor Him.  I want to have a Crazy Love for Jesus and live a Radical life for HIM.  As the apostle Paul wrote, I account all cost for the sake of the Gospel, that everyone may have a chance of hearing the name of Jesus.  There is so much need here in Guatemala, and I cannot imagine the rest of the world.  God is faithful and raising up a generation of people to go unto the world, but we need more people with a crazy and radical love for Jesus.  Are you willing to down size your house, sell a car, eat less at restuarants, adjust your lifestlye for the Gospel of Jesus Christ so those who have not heard of Jesus, can have a chance to do so. 

Thanks for the prayers,

tim

WOW…I cannot believe I have been here for 20 days already.  Time sure does fly.  It has been a great trip so far, well worth it.  God is using me to work with some pastors who are in training.  It has been awesome seeing their passion to serve the Lord.  They do not have 25% of what we have in the States, but they are faithful.  Iglesia Biblica is church where I am helping at, and they are realy reaching out to the community.  They are actually doing more than many churches in the states.  Agian, they dont have much, but they believe God will provide everything they need to minister to people.  Two weeks ago, we launched a partnership program with Compassion, trying to help kids get sponsored, that way they can have an opportunity to have a decient life.  Over 150 kids are waiting to get sponsored.  It is exciting to see this.

God has really been challenging me to trust Him even more with my stuff.  About 2 years ago, I quit my job to make myself available to travel and speak to youth and singles and do missions.  It has been an awesome journey to see God in the bad time and the good times.  Yes, it has been easy, there have been days where it was tough, but God has been faithful like always.  Some times we pray to God for more faith, but in order to grow in faith, sometimes God has to take away things to grow in faith.  But the reality is, there are people who are dying for Christ around the world, my brothers and sisters are dying for their Faith and they are passionatley doing it.  So why shouldn’t I give my job, car, house, future for the sake of the Gospel.  The invitation of Jesus was never to pack your bags, load up your car and then follow him.  He said, to deny yourself, take up your cross and then follow Him.  He even told one rich guy to sell everything and then follow him.  He even told another guy that he could become homeless if he wanted to follow Jesus.  We often do not here sermons like that because the fact is we like a comfortable life, no pain, no trials, but following Jesus brings the opposite, but for the Glory of HIM.   Who are you living for, who are you worshipping, who are you dying for?

Thanks for all the prayers and love offerings that have been given.  There is still time to give.  You can go to the DONATE page and give so you can be a blessing over here.

For HIM,

Tim

Today was a great day in the House of the Lord.  Awesome time of fellowship and worshipping through song and the Word.  Fellowship is the key of this church here in Guatemala.  Every Sunday, at least one or two families have come over to the pastors house to eat lunch and have coffee for hours.  I love that.  This week is gonna be a great week, lots of things to do.

This past weekend I had the chance to relax a little.  I went to one of the members house which is about an hour away and just hung out.  I went swimming, played tennis and ate fresh coconut.

Pray for God to continue to open up opportunities to serve him.
