And so the journey begins....

2 Thessalonians 1:11 .With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that God may count you worthy of HIS calling, and that by HIS power HE may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by faith. We pray this so that the name of out Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in HIM, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. FRIENDS & FAMILY. I wanted to start this letter out with that verse because it puts into words what my main goal is: to fulfill the deeds the Lord has set out before me, and to glorify HIM in every act. I write this with great excitement to boast about what the Lord has already done in my life! At this moment I have received $3,140.00 dollars in support, and a monthly supporter of $200. That is more then enough to pay for my medical bills! I feel extremely blessed to have received your letters of encouragement, and commitment to prayer. I even had a family buy me a computer that will help me stay connected to my California community. If the Lord provides in my wants how much more will he provide in my needs. I strongly believe and trust I will be able to raise the total amount before I leave.  As many of you know I will be officially leaving for Texas on August 4th. I will be working with a church in San Antonio called Journey Fellowship. This is a sister church to Max Lucado's church Oak Hills. Through this church I will be working with High School students, as we hope to get into Samuel Clemens High School. I do not yet know what family I will be staying with, but I will keep you posted on my new address. I lack words when it comes to explaining my thoughts on what is to come. Many times I have tried to figure it all out, just to realize no one truly has control except God. I am excited to proclaim what the Lord will unfold as time goes on. I would love to have a daily prayer plan to support my team, the students I will be involved with, and for the mission the Lord has set out. I ask that you prayerfully consider taking this step. If you would like to chose a day to pray for our team please let me know. How amazing would it be to go to Texas knowing that someone is faithfully praying once a day for this season.  My specific prayer requests are as follows. . that the Holy Spirit would stir within the High School ministry . that the church would be open to where the Lord is leading us as a team . that the school would have a need that we can meet . for health and safety for the team and myself . for my focus to be continually on the Lord's will and that I would seek first HIS kingdom Thank you for taking that time to read all that has been written. Please e-mail me with any verses, encouragement, or bit of wisdom that the Lord puts on your heart. You are apart of this community to come!  Great is HIS faithfulness. j.wonser
