Only weeks away..

Can you believe that November is hear and Christmas is just a month and a week away? Time is flying by and this year has gone by so fast and my December trip is just around the corner. My team and I have been working hard getting ready for the upcoming trip. Terry and I will be going along with 5 people. We will have a wedding seminar, a wedding for 30 couples, sending 83 kids to school, ministering at a home for child slaves and blessing kids at an orphanage. It's going to be a great week.

I have been raising money every way possible. I am currently writing a program in Access for a company and working an event on Thanksgiving day which will help pay for the wedding and all the extras.

I have been blessed to have people donate toward the wedding and toward other much needed items which has helped my planning a lot.

All the kids in Ceibita have been sponsored. Thanks so much to all of you who sponsored one. 83 kids will go to school next year all because of people like you.

I have been blessed to have a youth group from North Point Community Church make Christmas gift bags for each child at the orphanage and I'm getting new shoes for them also. Can't wait to bless them for Christmas.

We have purchased all the uniforms for kids in Ceibita and their backpacks. All are ready for us to distribute when we get there in December. I'm so excited and can't wait to see their faces.

Please pray for all the logistics to be worked out. I have many issues we are facing. It's hard planning a wedding for 30 couples across and ocean and with the language barrier. Not to mention the person helping me in Nicaragua is a man. Sorry guys but not many of you are wedding planning kind of people.

Please keep me in prayer as I am working extremely long hours 6 to 7 days a week and I'm wore out. It just happens to be a busy time in my life and this time will pass but until it does I need the strength to get through it.

Thanks so much for all the continued prayers. This upcoming trip is one of the biggest of the 21 I have taken. The bigger it gets the hard the enemy works and right now he is working pretty hard on all of our team.

Thanks so much, keep praying.

I am still in need of some remaining school supplies. If you have any you need to give me, let me know. If you would like to pick up some I need pencils, colored pencils, erasers and pencil sharpeners.

Thank you for helping me change the world one child, one family, one community at a time.

Missions Weekend....

Your prayers are needed as I walk through some awesome doors God has opened for me. First, on Friday night my friend Selina is hosting a "Nicaragua Missions Night" at her home. We will have many ministry needs placed on tables for people to view. You can donate toward any or all. We will have a booth for Bibles, socks and underwear for the orphanage, a Wedding License, Bouquet and Veil and much more.. I will also be selling my jewelry at this event and trying to get the kids from Operation Education sponsored. It will be a great opportunity and I am blessed to have a friend who is willing to do this for the ministry.

Second, on Sunday in Stowe Park in Belmont from 10:00 - 7:00 there will be an event for many ministries in the area. This event will have inflatables for the kids, live music, games, clowns and much more all FOR FREE and in the same area we will be displaying our ministry needs. This could open a much larger door than I can imagine. Pray for many people to come... Exposure is key...

Third, I will be meeting with my team on Sunday after church as we prepare for the December trip. I am so excited to have this group going with me. Each of them have a talent and a gift that God is going to use in a mighty way when we are in Nicaragau.

Fourth, Sunday night I will be speaking in front of a youth group about missions and the importance of getting involved and blessing others. I hope I can stir up the desire to be focused on others than on themselves. Pray for opened minds...

As you can see I am busy with God's work and busy preparing for what He as in store for us in Nicaragua in December.

There are many prayers I need and if I wrote them all down you would be reading a book so please let them all up with Thanks.. Be in prayer with me with gratitude and thanksgiving as I know God has ordained these events for His glory and I know anything He does is successful....

I am so excited to see what God is about to do. I still have 22 kids to get sponsored and I know they will all be gone soon as I have plenty of jewelry that needs owners so I can't wait to meet all the people who will be purchasing them..

Thanks for your prayers. Let's watch God show up and show off.

Prayer Request for this week

2009 First Day of School

On Wednesday I will travel to Darlington, SC and speak at Mechanicsville Baptist Church. If you recall last year that Pastor of this church was the man I met in Nicaragua. One of God's Divine Appointments.

He is a blessing to this ministry and has invited me back this year to share Operation Education with his congregation.

Please pray for a fruitful night. I still have 50 kids that need a sponsor.

Please pray for safety as I travel alone and pray for open doors.

If you are interested in sponsoring a child, please visit www.thepowerofoneministry.org/school to preview the children left to be sponsored.

You can pay online with PayPal or you can send me a check. If you are sending a check make sure you email me and let me know the child you picked out so I can mark them sponsored before another person grabs them.

Thanks to everyone for all your prayers.

Operation Education

Let me introduce you to Lory Ortiz. He is 10 years old and is not currently enrolled in school. Next year he will attend the 2nd grade. He moved into the community after last years kids were sponsored. He is a hard worker and helps provide for his family when asked. He is a sweet boy and loves to play soccer.

Would you be willing to send him to school next year for $25.

I am in the final month of finding sponsors for my kids in Ceibita. I need to have all the kids sponsored by November 1st or the prices go up to $35 per child and I do not want to pay that amount.

If you would like to sponsor Lory or another child please let me know as soon as possible. I am trusting God for every child to receive a uniform and school supplies for this next school year. Please pray in agreement with me.

He is wearing a shirt donated by Castanea Presbyterians soccer program. Thanks to Lisa and Cindy for donating great soccer uniforms to these kids last year. You guys make dreams come true for these boys.. :)

Check out all the kids at www.thepowerofoneministry.org/school.

Thanks to all the past sponsors and all the future ones.

Prayer Needs...

Can you believe tomorrow is the first day of Fall.. Where did this year go? It is always this time of the year I find myself overwhelmed with things going on. Good things of course.

I wanted to let everyone know what my current needs are so you can be praying for me and if God leads you to you can join me in meeting those needs.

1. Please pray for Oscar's mom. This past week made a year since he passed. I was so busy that week I almost forgot. Kind of glad I did. That situation aged me by 10 years. It was one of the hardiest times in my life so far. I miss him and every time I go to Nicaragua I miss him more.

2. School Kids - I am still in need of sponsors for the kids. I have doubled the number of kids this year making it harder for me. If you can't sponsor a child or do not feel led to, SHARE it with others. Together we can change a life. It does not have to take just one of us. I checked on the kids from last year and with only 2 months of school left they are all making high grades. The teachers brag on them because they work so hard. To sponsor a child visit www.thepowerofoneministry.org/school

3. Socks - I need girls knee-high white socks and I can't find any. If you see any at a store EMAIL me. I will need about 45 pairs and don't want to buy them in Nicaragua unless I have to. I would prefer a poly type and not cotton.

4. School supplies - I am still collecting school supplies and need just a few more packs of pencils, colored pencils, sharpeners and erasers to give every student. The cost of the uniforms has gone up drastically so I don't have much in the budget to purchase any extras so any help you can send toward these supplies would be greatly appreciated.

5. December trip - I have a huge trip planned. We are having a marriage seminar for over 30 couples (22 are signed up now and we have not even announced it yet) and a wedding for at least 50 of them. Please pray we are able to get the cost down so we can marry more couples. Please pray for my friends who will be going and facilitating the seminar and for the rest of us who will be putting this massive wedding together.

6. Jewelry Sale - I am having another jewelry sale at the NorthWest Fest on October 2nd. Please pray it is successful as I need to raise a lot of money to pay for the wedding stuff and Christmas presents for the orphanage.

Thanks as always for all that you do to support me and this ministry. God sees and knows all and ALWAYS provides for those who are willing and obedient to serve Him.
