Two down...three to go

Hello!

I'm not sure when I will update my blog again so let's just throw out both a Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to everyone :).

Last time I blogged I informed you all that I had received two speaking gigs. The first one was for a college campus ministry called Prepare (http://www.prepareministries.com). This event went very well! I had the opportunity to meet and encourage many of my peers. I spoke on the importance of Christian community and how the apostle Paul emphasized this heavily in many of his epistles. Specifically I pulled most of my content from the book of Philippians. The biggest takeaway of the evening was the idea that no matter where we are at in our faith we can be a part of a community that helps us grow. This thought was based of the following verses:

Philippians 1:3-6

"I thank my God every time I remember you, in all my prayers for you I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel, from the first day until now. Being confident of this that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."

Remember, we all have a role to play in spreading the gospel. We all partner in some way and that makes us a community. A community of believers who may not be perfect, however, we are being carried to completion each day as we serve the King.

My second speaking event was for a Pioneer Prayer Partner night. This event was for boys (K-6). The boys were being paired up with men from their church to start a prayer relationship for one another. I was blessed to be able to speak to both the boys and men about the importance of, "having one another's back". I was able to use some old football stories to coincide with their football theme. The talk hinged on Hebrews 10:23-25, which encourages us to spur one another on toward love and good deeds and to encourage one another as we await Christ's return. This event also went well!

Thank you so much for your prayers and continued support! More exciting things are to come in the coming months. I have booked three more events. Please be praying for these events:

1. December 8th - Momentum's School Showdown

2. December 29th - The Twelve Hour Blitz

3. January 26th - Lakeview Christian Academy Chapel

It's always good to hear from you all! Hit me up on facebook sometime! Let me know how things are on your end!

In His Grip,
