Buffalo, N.Y. Update (Part 4 of who knows how many!)

Well, looky there! I finally got around to part 4!!!! Congrats to me! :)

Day 4, was I think one of my most memorable days....
My team went to a place called SonFest, which is almost like a day care camp(Christian). The people that own it, the Tillmans, are one word: CRAZY.
They around both around 90, slow to walk around and they have been in Children's ministry-can I exaggerate a little? FOREVER!

How great it was to spend time with them! We taught the kids songs with actions, which I was made to lead a song, "Father Abraham" and at first I was like, "NO WAY!" but kids never seem to mind voices that sound like dying cats. (That would be my voice.) I wasn't blessed in the singing department. ;) Than we played with them, got to know them, sat with them for a lesson. My arm was killing me...but it was killing me with a child sitting in my arms....nothing could be better.
The kids loved having someone to play with, to listen. To just love on them. And that's what we did. Having to leave there was the most horrible feeling ever.

While, I was there, Mrs. Tillman grabbed around of me and asked about my arm. I was there to help her and all she thought about was me. I'm pretty sure this has happened in another blog...check out "I Am Compassionate". She prayed for me, and I had to opportunity to pray for her.

SonFest, was a blessing to ALL who went. I thank God for the opportunity to meet the Tillmans and to see what they are doing in N.Y.

Mission Trip To Buffalo, N.Y.

Greetings!
        I know your probably why I am on a blogging spree(weeeeeeee! JK), I figured who knows when I might be able to blog again so I might as well do more than one! JK.
Actually I wanted to fill you in on my mission trip I am planning on going to July 8-15 to Buffalo, N.Y.
I am going with my church Trinity Chapel with John Tashe(for more information on him go to my favorite sites and click his name.) We will be doing things with the dream center up in Buffalo.
         Buffalo, N.Y. is the 3rd poorest city in the United States, and home to many refugees from all over the world. Uniting with the Dream Center & John Tasch Ministries we will be showing the love of Christ in the inner city. I am really excited to be able to experience this there because in Knoxville I work with a organization called KICKO(Knoxville Inner City Kids Outreach), where we travel with a super cool truck/van that the side comes down to make a stage and have sunday school for kids! It's not on sunday's but its just like it. So to be able to do this in N.Y. is a blessing.
              The whole trip will cost around $600, and I have been working so hard to get all the money doing everything from my normal job, selling jewerly(not that good at it), and concessions at University of Tennessee games!(I feel for people who work in the food industry). Thank you everyone who have contributed towards this trip! God has provided the money so far and He will provide the rest.
PRAYER POINTS:
*Please pray that our team would continue to unite as one.
*That our dances & dramas would be God inspired and learned fast, and done with everything we have.
*That Finacial matters would come through.
*That God would prepare our hearts for what we are about to do. That we would be sensitive to the Spirit.

HOW YOU CAN HELP!!!!- The Beginning of A Ministry

Hey everyone!
               As everyone know I am highly involved in missions and feel that this is part of God's plan for me. A couple of weeks ago I was spending sometime with God and really heard the name of my ministry. MY ROLE IN HIS PASSION(MRHP). This is the name of my ministry now and when I get out of college. With me starting my ministry is something new to me and would love ANY help!
          Most of my ministry is/will be for children and teens(the new generation), I feel strongly about raising up men and women in leadership, godly leadership. Holding class and conferences to talk about these things.
          Of course, missions overseas and here in America is also a big deal! In doing this ministry I, for now, will be using other mission groups, such as YWAM, John Tashe, etc. To get on the field.

As starting a new ministry, I need a finacial base and would appreciate any ideas on HOW to do this? I will be going to college(for religion/ theology) for 4 years but would love to have money to do things in my ministry during the summers and breaks. What do you suggest? I have had people say, start a donation program and allow people to make monthly support to my ministy. But I am not sure I could do that because would you be willing to do that? Because I would probably not know what I would be doing till who knows when. I don't just want to not do anything till after college. I want to do things now and during college.

*Please pray about how you see yourself sponsering alongside MRHP and let me know.
*Any Advice would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.

^My first thing involved with MRHP is a mission trip with my church(Trinity Chapel) to Buffalo, N.Y. to do many different things. This is also associated with John Tashe.
Ask me about support for this.

^Also, I would love to come and speak at your church, completely open for that. I have spoken to different churches before about Missions. I also have conducted with Jessica Peterson a Leadership Conference.

Thanks for everyone's help in this! Please keep me in your prayers as I set the boundaries and goals for this ministry. (If you are willing to do more than finacial stuff, let me know!!!!)
