Team of the Week: Hide & Seek #1

You will "hide" in this closed country as a tourist. Each day you will explore your target city, going to where people hang out, "seeking" those who are looking for God. Because of your English-speaking skills it will be easy to make friends and as you do, you will boldly but wisely share the gospel to see who is ready to follow. Making disciples and becoming a disciple in this place is not easy. Will you come anyway?

Saturday morning prayers



I went on Nehemiah Teams to the Philippines this past summer. I got the opportunity to share about my summer at my BSM (Baptist Student Ministry) a month ago and was able to start a World Christian Study. It was planned to be a 3 week study (looking at God's Word, World, and Work). There were about 4 or 5 committed people coming every week and really excited to learn about God's heart for the nations. I was so thankful for how The Lord was blessing our time together. 

This past week was supposed to be our last morning to meet together, but as we drew near the end of our time and I began to close out the study, they all just kind of looked at me and said "Well... we don't want to stop meeting... Could we like keep meeting every week and just pray for the unreached?" Umm.. YES. 

I was blown away by what God must be doing in their hearts to want to continue to get up early on Saturday mornings to pray for the unreached. The Lord is so faithful! I just wanted to share with you what The Lord is doing in the lives of a couple college students in Texas and thank you for equipping us to lead these studies and help people see God's global purpose.

Team of the Week: Highland Mountain Bike Extreme

Your team will traverse the hills and mountains of Southeast Asia VIA MOUNTAIN BIKE. You will sleep in local villages, eat local food, and befriend local families as you ride along amid shouts of "HEY MISTER!" 

The people you'll be among all summer are desperately lost, captive, and needful of the freedom that comes through Jesus Christ. Your team's objective will be to seek out families and homes of peace while opening doors for sharing the gospel and planting churches. You will find the days to be long, the hills to be steep, and the way to be very difficult. But HE is worthy.
