This is my first blog every so i guess i have finally joined the ban-wagon. My intention is keep my friends and family up to date with my ministry and life for as long as those two shall exist.
I have just been hired on as summer staff for a great ministry called Youth Dynamics Ministry. It is totally the Lord and totally unexpected. I went on a rafting trip with a friend on the last day of spring break. I only got to go on the trip because a couple other people had bailed out. As a result i was introduced to YD ministries because that rafting trip was one of their training trips for volunteer staff. During the trip the leaders mentioned a need for summer staff. Instantly my heart was pricked but I need to pray about it first.
I ended up pulling a Gideon and telling God that if YD ministries could work around some other commitments i already had then i would do it. Then i prayed that God would let it happen. A few weeks after my initial contact with YD ministries i was sitting done with Jeremy Bucher who is head of staff development for and interview. A few hours after my interview i got a call from him telling me that YD wanted me to join their summer staff.
Since that point i have been trying get prep for the summer. Training starts in just 2 more weeks but i still have my preschool job until the end of May and my Spanish class too.
I am so excited for this summer but its going to be very stretching because I need to raise my own support and i have never done that before. I trust God, though, that He will provide for me and stir up the hearts of others to give to this ministry.
I ask that you would support me in your prayers and also consider if you could support me monetarily. I need at least $1500 for the summer. So if 30 people give $50 i will have what i need.
God Bless,
Robbie
