QUICK BOOT CAMP UPDATE
1-30-04
THANKS for your prayers.
Things are going well at the fund raising Boot Camp.
There are 29 in attendance
About a forth from the seminary and rest are missionaries and church planters
here are some examples
1. couple on my left is planting churches in the mountains of Mexico
2. single man on my right is working with Child Evangelism Fellowship
3. he is starting weekly Bible studies in public schools
4. there is a man that gave his notice as the partner in an accounting firm
he is going into full time missions
5. a woman is raising support for orphanages in Burma
These are my kind of people.
They are following Jesus by faith one day at a time.
The material has been very helpful.
We went over the Bible verses related to raising support.
We talked about having the right perspective in for areas
How do you view God, your ministry, your self and your supporters.
Tomorrow we will deal with the practical HOW TOs.
There will be a practice presentation during the lunch break.
Steve is doing a wonderful job.
This is very interactive.
God is giving me the strength and concentration.
Just as we came to the end of the session at 10 my body felt the fatigue.
In the providence of God tonight there was a free meal at the student center.
There was a fun chili cook off and the seminary participants were welcomed.
Earlier someone had left dozens of fruit pies in the student center.
So I brought those over as free snacks.
Also I have four tables with free literature like the gospel of John.
Pray for everyone to pay close attention and understand what is offered.
May they use it soon and as a habit.
I will be going over these many notes immediately afterward and later.
There have already been plenty of helpful lessons for me to apply.
Much of this is review of what I have heard form others.
Those who could not attend asked me to teach them
I will be putting a summary of the key points on the web.
I am attending both as a student and as a teacher.

MAJOR Victory – Praise the Lord Jesus
1-26-04
It took dozens of hours over this last month to prepare these web pages.
The content to these is the summary of more then twenty years of learning.
There were hundreds of hours of prayer, research, planning and writing.
For the last two weeks there have been all kinds of technical obstacles.
Yet at LONG last, I am ready to share with you these five mind maps.
Again I THANK all those who have ever prayed for me.
I could not have gotten this far without your labor in the prayer closet.
After you see these, I welcome your comments, suggestions and questions.
