First Month at Potter's Field

 

                                                                                                                                                                              

Hey everyone!

Welcome to the new blog set up for Angelina and me! We've just finished our first month of the Potter's Field Ranch Global Impact program in Montana. The Lord has really blessed us to be able to come here and serve as interns, learning about how to spread the love of Jesus all over the world! Thank you all so much for your prayer and support. The lessons that we are learning here have been really life-changing, and we know the Lord is truly growing us and equipping us for His plan.

 

This last month has gone by so fast! During the week we have classes in the morning taught by different pastors from all over the US. The teachings are generally based on international missions work, and each month is a different theme; this month's was missions strategy. In the afternoon, we have jobs assigned to us that bless us and really challenge us as well. Angelina's job is in hospitality where she gets to clean and clean and clean. Its really cool because they try to use products that can be found inexpensively, everywhere in the world-- which means they use vinegar and water to clean almost everything. I work in facilities where I'm learning how to do everything from chopping wood, to shucking hay, to fixing things around the property. We are praying that the Lord would use this time to really expand our work ethic and to mold us into better servants of Him.

 During the weekends, we are so blessed to be involved with different outreaches, and on Sundays Angelina and I are involved in the children's ministry at Calvary Chapel Whitefish. We started out doing the puppet ministry, but recently we received the blessing of being able to substitute teach in the kindergarten class which was an awesome experience! The kids are so sweet, and we pray that the love of God would transform their lives.

One of the greatest lessons that the Lord has shared with us this last week is communicating better with all of you we love so much back home. Prayerfully, we are working on getting a hard copy newsletter together that we would be able to mail to everyone. Anyone who would specifically appreciate a newsletter with pictures and prayer requests, etc. please email us your mailing address. We're also planning to update this blog weekly with all the Lord is doing and how He is moving and training us here.    

It's absolutely gorgeous here in Montana, and it's such a reminder that the Lord is an artist! Not only has He made this beautiful world, but He has given us each a purpose that glorifies Him in the most beautiful way. Our prayer is that all of us would always be fully surrendered to Him and to His will every day of our lives!

 I Love you, and God bless you!
