Update on my Dad

Hey Everybody,

So my Dad had a test this morning for his heart. Me and my brothers and Mom were there. They sent a probe with a camera up into his heart through his leg. They found that 30-40% of his main aterary is clogged. Thankfully he doesn't need to have surgery, they would have done a bypass surgery if it had been 50% or more. He will be on some heart medicine and has to eat right and excercise. Doing this will help his heart with since exercise moves blood to the heart quicker, it will grow his veins. Thankfully he has a chance to make it better. I ask you to keep praying for him, it will take a change to get him to be better at all of this! Thank you all again for your support in this!!!

Getting there, but time is short!!!

So, I got some more checks in the mail this week! I'm now up to a total of $1485 out of $2150. So, I've still got $665 to go, which is due on April 5th!! So, please pray that I am able to have the rest in by then!!!

We've got to get the money in so we can get it into the accounts, reserve our hotel rooms, and get the money transferred to Euros. We purchased all the plane tickets, we should have our itinerary very soon for that.

Again thank you all to who has been supporting me for the trip! God will bless you for what you are contributing to the work over in Turin, Italy. The trip is approaching! We leave on May the 11th, and get back on the 25th, a total of two weeks.

On another note, I ask you all to pray for my Father. He is in the hospital right now having some tests done on his heart. He had an EKG done on Friday and it turned out bad, so they sent him to the hospital. On Monday they are going to do a test to see if there is blockage in his heart. Then they will probably do a surgery on his heart. Pray for his healing and peace, our family can tend to worry a lot when it comes to something like this.

Italy

Hey Everybody!

So, I'm starting up a Blog again. I really like to keep people in touch of what's going on in my life. Also, I sometimes have to say something, and this can be a way of me getting it out!

The mission trip to Turino, Italy that I'm going on is approaching! I'm excited about it, but its going to be a lot of work. This trip will by no means be a vacation. So far I've raised about $1300 and I have to raise a total of $2150. If you want to help out with the cost please email me or post a comment. I would not like to leave my address on the Internet for all to see and have my identity stolen. My final deadline is April the 5th, so please send in what you have decided to contribute soon. :D

I do appreciate your support and I don't want it to seem like I'm just asking for money to go on a vacation. My heart is to reach the nations with the hope of Jesus Christ! There are so many countries in the dark, and even though Italy has been predominatly Christian, today, it is not like it used to be. So, I ask you to co-labor with me in this. By supporting financially you are being a sender of the news of Jesus Christ. Even though you aren't going, it's like you are, because you are using the resources that God has given you to send out people.

If you can't give finacially I ask for your prayers. Prayer is above all the most important part of this trip! Without us seeking and crying out to God, we can acomplish some things, but I believe he accomplish more if we ask. So, please pray with our team, there will 11 of us, and we are all still raising our support for this trip. Pray that God would prepare our hearts for this trip and that he would prepare the hearts of those that we will be interacting with in Italy. That's all for now! Have a great week!!!
