5 Days before departure

First of all I would like to thank all of you who have supported me in all my endeavors, without you this trip would not be possible. I am especially grateful for my family who have always been encouraging and challenging me. I also am indebted to my church family who have been there for me listened to my many missions updates along the way and had to suffer through a young ministerial major's sermons. Before I go any further I must thank my loving and gracious Father. Without God I am nothing.

My anticipation is growing. My departure date is set for Monday, January 30th. I can't wait get started! I ask that you remember not only to pray for me, but also to pray for the people in Czech. Ask that God will be working in their hearts and lives before I meet them. Pray that God will lead me to the people that I can most effectively minister too. I can't wait to give you specific names to pray for. What an exciting thought it is to be able to witness to people who have little to no prior knowledge of the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
