Wrecked

God really wrecked me with the Holy Spirit for the first time at your conference a few months back.

God's totally still working; it's been incredible! Not only has God continued to keep me free from anxiety and revealed His Spirit in this whole entirely new way, but He's done some other incredible things. Only a month after that conference, God opened up all these crazy doors for me to go to Latvia and work with the poorest-of-the poor there. It was incredibly different than any other thing-- I felt free to just give it all for the Gospel--because God was continually wrecking me with his love.... Meeting seven year old kids who sleep on doorsteps...and developing deep friendships with seventeen year old kids who had never heard the Gospel...I kept coming back to that thing you mentioned about these people we're ministering to being brothers and sisters, daughters and sons--family. So many of these kids became just that...

I just got back to the States. I'm teaching English in Colorado now and trying to find a church to get involved with here...but I'm
praying about maybe going overseas longer term. Anyway, thanks again. It's been pretty incredible to really feel God's love for the first time...and to see Him wreck me for Him.

I'm really really thankful for you and am praying regularly for you and your ministry.
