May 2010 MONTHLY NEWSLETTER

Hello Everyone! Launching OFF to Benin, West Africa!!

God bless you all! In my last newsletter I spoke of my monetary support rising continually and what the Lord began to place on my heart in preparation for Benin, West Africa. I am so pleased to tell you all that my date to launch off to Benin, West Africa is set for October 21st, 2010. I have about 40% more of my support to raise for my assignment in Benin, West Africa. I will be leading in a group of young adults on a 10 day short term outreach. If the remaining of my monetary support is raised by the time I leave, I will be staying for my 3 year term. If it is not then I will have to return with the team back to Philadelphia.

This is a really exciting time to know that the Lord trusts us with His work! It is such a privilege and an honor to be a voice for the Lord to the Nations! I know the Lord, before the foundation of the world, set October 21st, 2010 for me to enter into full time ministry in Benin, West Africa. It is already predetermined that I will be staying to continue on the work the Lord has in Benin right now. I know the Lord has allowed me to come in contact with you as well so that we are able to partner together to effect nations all over the world! It first begins in Benin, West Africa!
There is such a great harvest awaiting us over in Benin, and we all play our part! As I stated in my April Newsletter; Benin is a Key shape state. I believe this means that Benin is the Key to many Nations! We are so blessed to be a part of unlocking the Key to Nations of the World to receive the pure and living Gospel of Jesus Christ! WOW! Can you feel the FIRE and the cry of the nation of Benin? Here Am I Lord! Here WE are Lord!!!

I love how our Lord brings His people together to win souls to Himself. As we come together in prayer, in love, and monetarily, we are going together as team to our brothers and sisters all over the world to spread the good news!

The next couple of months I will be raising the remaining of my monetary support, and building up my prayer team as I prepare to go to the field. I plan to have some fundraiser events, to be teaching/preaching, and going out informing those of the ministry in Benin, West Africa.
Points of Prayer for Benin:

Please pray that anointed laborers would be sent quickly to aid the work currently taking place in Benin.

The vast majority of Benin has not been reached with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Christian leaders in Benin have a vision to reach 10% of the people in Benin with the Gospel. Ambassadors Fellowship has been asked to partner with leaders to expand ministry to the nearly 1 million people in that nation.

I am excited to do my part! I will be working with Magna James, a senior missionary with Ambassadors Fellowship, as we minister to students on the college campus in Benin. I will work to disciple young professionals who will in turn reach their villages and communities with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I am so excited to learn and be taught while I am in Benin as well. This is not just an opportunity for us all, but a mandate orchestrated by the Lord Himself for us to go by prayer or monetarily to bring Jesus to Africa! The work has already begun in Benin, and the Lord is sending forth more laborers to help the work.

All of your prayers and monetary support has enabled me to be used mightily by the Lord in this transition to the field! It will enable me remain in Benin this October to aid in the powerful work the Lord is establishing there now! I am so thankful and grateful for each and every one of you! We are all going to the “Hidden Nations” as we support in whatever way the Lord has enabled us to!

Please tell me how I might pray for you!
