"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them"- Ephesians 2:8-10

Hi everybody, hope that you're having such a blessed week!  It seems like it was just yesterday that Brennan and I wrote last, time here seems to pass so quickly. Especially this week I think because we had a different schedule than usual. Since our focus this module is on Cross-Cultural Missions, it seems that we were extra- blessed because in the mornings we got to go through the book of Nehemiah with Pastor Don McClure, and in the afternoons we got to really get in depth with Pastor John Michaels about making sense of different cultural worldviews in a practical way and applying it to missions work.

It always blows my mind how incredible and alive God's word is and it was amazing to see how He spoke to all of our hearts so clearly through the book of Nehemiah.  Brennan and I have been praying about what the Lord would have us do next after completing this internship; and we can really relate to Nehemiah as he was fasting and praying for the walls of Jerusalem to be built. We feel that the Lord has called us to Mexico, and we are praying and fasting for His vision and provision. While we pray that He would make His plan clear to us, we also are praying for obedience and that we would trust Him completely. It's so encouraging that we never have to ask, "Are we able to do this?" because, when it's the Lord's investment, the answer is always yes. Our prayer is that we will truly internalize and trust that He can and will qualify and shape us for His work to bring Him glory.

Outside of the classroom this week, we were really blessed to be able to serve at the Harvest Festival for the Lighthouse Christian Home.

Lighthouse Christian Home is a non profit organization here in Montana that provides life long care for adults with developmental disabilities. Since they are a Christian organization, they do not receive any governmental funding, and have a couple of fundraisers annually to support their home.  We were truly blessed to get to work with them, running their games for the festival, and helping to raise support for the awesome work they do as they extend their arms out to people on Christ's behalf.

Recently one of our pastors asked us a basic question, but it was so moving to us, "Do you really believe that what you believe is really real?" Because we do, we understand how urgent it is to share His love to the ends of the Earth. I pray that our hearts would all be so broken for the lost, and that God would strike an incredible urgency in us to tell others about Him. We are so excited that next week at this time we'll be in Las Vegas for the Send the Message conference. Please pray with us that hearts will be stirred to attend and opened to the Lord's call and plan for each and every life.

God bless you all, See you soon,

Love,

Angelina
