The Journy of Paul

The walk in faith grows harder, and the story of Job continues, but for now I cannot disclose it, just be assured that it added stress to our life. We request your continued prayer support for God's provision. I've prayed a great deal, asking the Lord to fling doors open and slam others shut, so that it will be so evident as to what I should do that I cannot mistake it. We have went four months now without an income, and the clock is ticking. When I get depressed about it I merely look to what Paul said, listing all that he gave up to follow Jesus, going from church to church relying on their generosity to support him. I use to believe that only certain people were called for certain things, but now I know that was wrong. We, you, and I, all of us, are called into service. When we don't love our neighbors as we love ourselves we are not following His command. When we do not share the gospel message, we are not following Matthew 28:19-20 , "Therefore go and make discipl...

I've been home two days now, and to tell you the truth, I am not sure what to do. I know that I enjoy getting up in the morning, walking down the three stories to the little canteen and eating breakfast with my team, having and a sense of purpose for the day. I also enjoyed walking to the school, to the store and to the little WiFi cafe. Today I spent a great deal of time driving and getting less accomplished. I am also not looking forward to restarting my job search. I spent 2.5 months sending out many resumes to no avail. I think it is a shame that having received a Masters Degree, that I might be forced to seek work overseas. Having said that, I have stated that the high school in Ha Noi is trying to secure me a position, may be starting in October. I look at this as being a full time ministry and if the Lord wills it, I will go into the field full time . If He calls me into the field, I will need your full support. I and Coy live in the US and thus we have monthly exp...

Greetings from Oregon City, Oregon. What a journey it has been. I am sorry that I have not been able to update the blog over the last few days, but it has been hectic. Wednesday we had our closing ceremony and Thursday we were taken to Ha Long Bay for two days. Saturday, I was whisked away for lunch and dinner with the Vietnamese teachers we had been working with. I've been offered a job opportunity in Hanoi. I am waiting to receive a written contract and letter of invitation. According to the school officials it has been approved. If this happens, I may be leaving for Hanoi in October. Again, if this happens, I will be be working with a high school of talented and gifted students, and I will be working with to establish a new private English center. I of course view this as a ministry opportunity. So if I am blessed to go back that soon, I will need your financial help in this ministry. Over the course of the summer, we got to share the message with at least 50 students. Seeds hav...
