Preparing for Fresno

Today I had lunch with a great guy named David who is the current Program Administrator for the MA Philosophy of Religion and Ethics Program at Talbot. He and his wife are going to Rwanda on a short-term trip this summer and they are pretty excited about missions. Praise the Lord they are interested in praying for us and possibly supporting us in the future. It was really nice to connect with him over lunch at a Japanese place near Biola.

We do need a lot of prayer support nowadays since we are, I believe, at a pivotal stage in our ministry partner discovery. We have 50% of our support in place and are now praying for a select group of individuals and churches to pledge the final half of what we need to leave for the Philippines.

Next week, we'll be in Fresno meeting with around 15 Pastors who have expressed interest in our work. I've also been invited to speak at an annual event where almost all of the Filipino-American pastors in our conference will be present. I'll be playing some music and singing, too. Please pray that goes well. I know I do this an awful lot, but I can still get nervous. I don't know why.

Pray for grace, wisdom and strength for us on this next road trip.
