Dear Friends and Family

As you may know, I am going on a mission this summer to Jinja, Uganda in Africa as a leader of a group of students from Vertical High School Ministries of Calvary Chapel of Albuquerque.

Our trip is scheduled for June 19 through July 6. We will be coming alongside a amazing group of full time missionaries in Jinja. We will have opportunities to share our personal testimonies, host Bible studies and worship as we share the gospel of Christ to local villages and schools. We will be reaching out through skits and dramas, music, fun activities and participate in soccer with the youth of the communities. Our focus is going to be ministering to youth in schools and orphanages.

I would like to ask you to support me and my team on this mission through prayer.

The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. (James 5:16)

My specific prayer needs are:

  1. My health
  2. Being a faithful leader
  3. Boldness to share the Gospel and my faith with others
  4. Being a witness through faithful service
  5. Finances, I’m taking 3 weeks off of work without pay and I still have bills to pay when I get back.

Prayers for the team:

  1. Traveling mercies
  2. For health
  3. Team unity
  4. For the leadership of the trip
  5. To persevere through 18 days of hard work and harsh weather
  6. For spiritual attack that is sure to be present
  7. That we would be holy vessels for God to work through us

Prayers for Uganda

  1. That God would start softening hearts of the unsaved people
  2. That God would begin to open up doors for us
  3. For the youth of Uganda
  4. That the full-time missionaries in Uganda would be blessed
  5. That God would have a bountiful harvest in Uganda this summer

This weekend I'm going to go to Oklahoma. it should be interesting. I'm taking my lady friend Melody and Faith is coming too. I hope my family doesn't scare her away too much (just kidding if any of my fam is reading ;) )

anyways, I figured I would try and blog more and tell about the old life of mine.

I am working full time these days. its hard becauseI work at a desk all day which is very boring. I sometimes like what I do but most of the time I am bored and I hate sitting here all day.

I got me a fine lady. she's awesome.

I don't know what else I can talk about right now. have a good day and we'll talk next time...

peace unto thee and God bless you
Anthony
