I have been honored and given a really cool opportunity in training 75+ new staff how to memorize the last 2 chapters of Mark. Which is the Passover celebration through the crucifixion, resurrection and ascension of Jesus. By the end of the quarter they will know the gospel word for word. In a sense we'll have a part in ending Bible poverty, as these staff will be taking the gospel into the nations. There are many nations and places in the world where the Bible is not allowed, but what if it was bound around are necks and written on the tablet of our hearts like Proverbs 3 suggests in verse 3 when it says let not mercy and truth leave you?
I also am currently studying to get my level 1 certification for crossfit so I can be a coach in January for the new Fire and Fragrance Respect the Corners DTS, which has a crossfit focus. I will be doing a lot of shadowing of the coaches during this quarter getting more familiar with the movements that will get me ready for next quarter. This school's purpose is to raise up godly coaches and launch them all over the world to disciple and bring the gospel of Jesus to the nations. Right now leadership for the school are trekking in the mountains of central Asia distributing Bibles in the people's language, to those who have never heard the gospel. I would love to go on the next trip. What a thrill to be the hands and feet of Jesus!
There is something about sharing the good news with someone who has never known love, never known freedom, or never knew that there was more to life. People are desperate for truth and they really come alive when they experience Jesus! I am convinced that I am here as an ambassador of truth and encouragement, and I want to leave a legacy of raising up truth speakers!
May this quarter be filled with hungry, fiery eyed young people, eager to help end Bible poverty not only in the nations but in this young generation!
Stories and testimonies to come!
