Whereas, I have learned in those four years of university studies that I have a poor view of the magnitude of God's creation and the world at large; and,
Whereas, God has opened my eyes as of late to the vast needs still waiting to be met for His soon return and eternal Kingdom; and,
Whereas, Jesus has instructed all those who claim His Name to take the Truth of Him to all the world; and,
Whereas, I desire training to prepare for and then effectively fulfill this Commission; therefore,
Be it resolved, that I will be dedicating a year of my life to His service. I will be attending ARISE Institute (A Resource Institution for Soul-winning and Evangelism) in Jasper, Oregon from September till December of 2012, and then serving as a missionary in southern Zambia, Africa at the Mukuyu Outreach project through Outpost Centers International from January till May of 2013. I will be communicating my ARISE and Zambia adventures to all you friends, family, acquaintances, and strangers via email, the very occasional facebook or skype session, and blogs. "Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your god is with you wherever you go." ~ Joshua 1: 9
