Getting Rolling

Hopefully many new people are seeing this blog because of the mass email that I sent out and I would like to take the opportunity first off to say “Welcome to my blog!” I hope that you find it informative and that you will participate in working with me to accomplish God’s purposes.

I have finally taken the time the past week and a half to copy the email addresses on my computer via an Excel document and put them into a group on my Hotmail account. I only thought that this would take an hour or two. Those of you who are observant, however, will notice that it took me a week and a half. It took a ridiculous amount of time to get everything organized and in the same place and I am very glad to be done with it so I can move onto other things like writing more blogs!

In response to my last blog post I can pretty much say that my and other’s prayer was answered. I now have as of Wednesday three small jobs that seem to be sufficient enough to pay my expenses and flexible enough to allow me to raise support. These jobs are:

  1. Monday-Friday 12:00-3/4:00 I’ll be working at a skateboard park for my friend Matt who is also the drummer of Billy Loves Silly (which is the band that I’m in).
  2. Monday, Wednesday, Friday I’ll be working 6:00 am- 9:00 am doing janitorial work for my friend and former Sunday school teacher Keith.
  3. I will also soon be the paid youth/children’s pastor for New Harmony Grove, who is the church that I’ve been helping. By the way, many of you are youth pastors or have worked with youth and/or children yourself and any advice or neat idea you could give me would be great!

Lastly, I would like to say that I am going to try my best to get more people actively involved in my mission endeavors. A few friends of mine are going to meet and try to think of some creative ways to do this, but if any of you have some ideas of how people in general (or you yourself) could help in this ministry, feel free to let me know. I would love to work with you!
