Making His Name Known Among the Nations....

"Sing a new song to the Lord! Let the whole earth sing to the Lord! Each day proclaim the good news that He saves. Publish His glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things He does." Psalm 96:1-3

Getting Uncomfortable

Welcome! And welcome back to some of you!

It's hard to believe, but the time is finally here! Our Watermark Young Adults team is headed to the Amazon Jungle. I am so excited about this trip even though it means leaving behind my wife & two dogs. Our team has been training & preparing for this day for the last 7 months & it is finally here.

Why in the world do we want to leave air conditioning & the comforts of Dallas? To share God's love with the people in the Amazon Jungle. As the headline of this post says, Psalm 96 "Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous deeds among all peoples!" We all at one time have seen the danger of people who use "religious systems" to manipulate people & our desire is to share with the people of Brazil that true freedom comes only from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

How can you pray for us:

Pray that God is glorified by our team & time in Brazil.

Pray for the safety of our team

Unity, humility & servant hearts as we seek to serve & come alongside our partner church in Brazil

Pray that all our flight connections make it on time

Pray for open doors for us to share the saving love of Christ

Pray that our team will be forever changed & that we will have a new appreciation for how AWESOME OUR GOD IS!

Thanks for your prayers & check in often as we will be calling from a satellite phone to give updates.
