To all my dear family and friends,
There has been so much the Lord has been doing in my life this past while and I am wanting to take this time to bring you up to speed with what’s been going on.
Many of you know that I have been in school for the past three years pursuing a degree in Civil Engineering. I am proud to tell you that I have been accepted into the engineering school at W.S.U in Pullman Washington and will be attending school there in the fall. This is a huge achievement for me and is another huge step of faith moving in the direction that the Lord has willed over my life.
The Lord has put so many dreams in my heart; included in these dreams is using engineering to further the Kingdom in third world countries, using practical resources and skills to show the love of God. This being just one small part of my dreams, God has put in me a gift of missions, pastoring, and simply loving people. When I share with people my dreams of doing full time missions and pastoring they seem to get excited, but as I continue and mention that I am currently going to school for engineering, they seem to get this expression on their face like, “hmm, I wonder how those will ever all come together”. I must admit, sometimes I will even start doubting, finding myself asking the Lord the same question that many people wonder, “How are these dreams of mine ever going to come together, God?”
The Lord is so good! He knows all of my hearts desires and He see’s everything so clearly. As I’ve been walking on this path that the Lord has provided for me with school, God has been so gracious in providing me with these amazing little nuggets of hope and glory! Showing me that He is building me up for all that He has been putting on my heart for missions, pastoring and engineering. One of the ways He has done this is by bringing me amazing opportunities to lead missions, serve, be a youth lead at a youth group for my local church NewLife, and much more.
So, you may be wondering, “Rob, why the heck are you telling me all this?” Well, let me tell you! This summer I am going to be leading a one-month team of high school students and young adults down to Mazatlan through my church New Life. It has been so clear that this has been from the Lord and I can’t tell you how excited I am to see how He moves in and through us! He has been building up this team and it’s just really cool to see what He has been up to.
To conclude, I want to ask if you would help in supporting me to get down to Mazatlan. The cost is $3,400 per person, which is a huge number! But I know God is soo good and I’m so excited to see how He will provide all of it. I also have been shown how powerful prayer is. I am honestly convinced that this is what is most important for me personally, and for my team. To be a contender for another person or body of people and stand in the gap for them is simply amazing and where the glory of God shines so brightly. If you feel compelled from the Lord too, I also want to ask if you would be part of a prayer team and help stand in the gap for the provisions needed and much more wisdom for leading this trip.
Our first payment of $1,700 is due on April 19th, and we are going to be leaving June 19th. If you have any more questions I’d be more than happy to talk with you. Just shoot me a message or call or text me at 360-536-5206
I hope this message has found you well and I pray that the living God is continuing to bless your heart and soul abundantly.
-Rob
