Wow, already another update...I'm on a role...

Hello Ministry Partners,

Thanks so much for your prayers and support! I thank God every time I remember you and get the privilege to call you a friend. Thanks for the encouraging emails in response to my last post.

Even though it has only been 11 days since my last post, my mission schedule for next year has grown and been shuffled around. I thought I would post again to get you all updated so that you could be praying specifically for each trip. I added a trip in March to Costa Rica. March 10-17 I will take a group of students from Dallas Bible Church during their Spring Break. I am still going to Panama May 25 - June 2. Recruiting still seems to be going well among the Liberty students. We have gotten a lot of inquiries, but none have actually signed up yet. I know now that I will be working in the city of David. David is the hometown of our main national coordinators the Vegas. I look forward to working with the whole Vega family. I will probably be traveling to Panama in April for a setup trip

Now onto Romania where the big explosion of campaigns happened :-). In my last post I told you I was doing two trips back-to-back in July. Well now I am going to do four trips back-to-back-to-back-to-back in July! I better keep working on my Romanian! I will start by helping Joe Barron lead a trip to Lugoj/Resita on July 6-14. I will lead the part of the team working in Resita. Then I will help out Craig Poston in Galati on July 13-22. Like the last two years I will lead the part of the team working with Emanuel Church. I will still be leading a student team to Bocsa, but it has been shifted back a week to July 20-28. I will finish off my excursion to Romania by co-leading a trip to Botosani on July 26 - August 5 with Gary Pettet. This will be my third time spending a month in Romania, but first time with four trips to help lead. To help me lead these trips I will probably travel to Romania in May for a setup trip. The dates above are the full dates of the campaign including travel days that is why they overlap.

I put the full dates because I want you to join me on one of my trips. So while you are praying about me and my trips, pray specifically about if God wants to use you on one of them. You might not feel adequate, but Christ in you is the hope of glory! You might be afraid to share your faith, but Christ in you is the hope of glory! You might not feel worthy, but Christ in you is the hope of glory!

The mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints. To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me. ~Colossians 1:26-29

Agape,
Chris Truax
