Hello Prayer Team,
I setup this new blog to help me get out information and prayer requests in an easier manner. I will still try and send an email out to let you know when I have posted a new update. I have named my blog "Acts 20:24" which is "But my life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus--the work of telling others the Good News about God's wonderful kindness and love." Spoken by the apostle Paul and something that reflects what I want my ministry to be about.
I am sorry I have not written in awhile. Let me update you on my ministry. My trip scheduled for Spring Break did not recruit a full team but we were able to send 8 Texas A&M students on a different team going to Panama. From their reports they had an awesome time and saw the Lord work in great ways. The team was able to share the Gospel with 760 people. They saw 348 of them profess faith in Christ, and 7 new churches were planted.
My trip scheduled for May, the Collegiate Quest, also had to be canceled because not enough signed up. I had been put in charge of this event/mission trip back in January and was really looking forward to it. We started recruiting late along with other things outside of our control that led to the cancellation, but on the bright side I have already begun planning for Collegiate Quest 2007 and have already spoken to some key college leaders who are interested in bringing their students to be involved. This cancellation also opened the door for me to be able to go with my church to Estes Park, CO and help at our church retreat in the children's department.
I am excited to say that my trip to Romania does look like it is a go. In fact I added on a trip right after it (a back-to-back). I will be in Romania from June 30 - July 15 working with the churches in Galati and Resita. The teams are looking pretty good, but there is room for more if you want to join me. Although tell me soon because airline tickets are hard to come by because the soccer World Cup is taking place in Germany this summer.
Another praise is that another guy and I started a community group at my church. Seven guys meet on Sunday night to share life with each other and grow in our understanding of God.
Agape,
Chris Truax
