Thank You!

This past June, I had the incredible privilage of attending the Living Waters Ambassadors' Academy -- a life-changing experience that deepened my faith, equipped me to boldly share the Gospel, and filled me with a renewed passion for reaching the lost and taking the lead in equipping the church to do the same. But none of this would have been possible without faithful support, encouragement, and many prayers. Today I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart to those who gave and prayed.

To those who generously gave, whether large or small, allowed me to get world-class evangelism training and share the gospel on Hunnington Beach and open-air preach at the Santa Monica Pier; not to mention some meals as well. Thank you for investing in me, and it is already bearing fruit.

To those who prayed for me before, during, and after the trip: I felt those prayers. It was a very difficult misison field with hardened hearts and getting a cheeseburger thrown at my back while preaching. Not to mention the intense trainng and keeping together with my group from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to bed. Not the ideal atmosphere for an introvert. But through your prayers I was able to press on and finish the course. Many people who have never heard of Jesus, even in America, heard the gospel. One man, named Christian, responded and received Jesus as Lord and Savior during an open-air presentation at Hunnington Beach. His wife looked on and cried saying that moment was an answer to prayer. We contacted Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa to get him set up, and he confidently assured us he would be there the next Sunday.

The Ambassador's Academy didn't just train me to evangelize, but awakened something in me to try new things with the goal of reaching people who think they have everything. Men who would say, "I have a great job, nice house, good kids, and a hot wife. Why do I need Jesus?" But the fact is the wrath of God abides on them, and without Jesus, they have nothing. Some of which I want to try are:

• Have a gospel booth at the Ankeny Farmers Market or any other markets in the area.

• Set up a "free speech" table at local malls.

• Open-air preach using flip charts that would intrigue people as they walk by.

So again, thank you for sendng me. Thank you for praying for me. Prayerfully I ask that you join me and together we will inspire the world to walk with God.

Sincerely,

Frank
