It is July 2008 already (Special Update Request)
July 6, 2008 - It is hard to believe that it is here. It seems like only last week we began thinking about, talking about and planning the Love Bulgaria Youth Evangelism Conference. What began as an idea is about to take place. We are looking at almost 200 participants from 4 countries coming together to learn how to tell the world about Jesus!
Students and teachers from the US, UK, Greece and Bulgaria are gathering for 3 days of practical teaching on creative ways to share the story o f Jesus. From how to develop and use your testimony to doing street drumming we are going to explore what will connect and reach today’s youth with the Gospel.
I have no idea what God might be wanting to do with this but I am praying that it will rock this part of the world. As young people not only learn how but then practice and apply what they have learn in the marketplace with neighbors, coworkers and friends, it will created a ripple effect as it goes forth changing many lives.
We have got an amazing blend of teachers from 3 different countries – we have a broad topic selection of classes and training. We have kids signed up to come. And now we are preparing the lesions, finishing the presentations and checking that all the details are taken care of.
So please pray –
Pray for the teens coming – pray that they would be open and ready to learn and receive the training.
Pray for the instructors that they would be fully prepared and ready to share the best information possible
Pray for the place we go after learning the skills to apply them to people who are lost and need to know the truth.
Finally, I have one additional request, pray for the last of the funding to come in. The cost for the 200 participants is about $30,000 for the 10 days. We are still in need of around $7,000 to cover all the expenses. I know that God has led us this far and will provide what is needed. But join me in praying for this concern.
If you can help beyond prayer that would be amazing – the easiest and fast way is to go to http://almellinger.typepad.com/youthconference/ and click in the Purple Donation Box. Follow the instructions to give online – it is fast, safe and easy – Plus we have access to the funds right away.
Thanks again for you interest and partnership with us in the work God is doing here in Bulgaria!
