Journey to Dubai

Bringing an Oasis to a Dry Land

A foreign land in the suburbs of Atlanta.

Can you find me???

7 Days, 15 Nationalities, 50 Students, 1 Purpose...

WORSHIP.

As I sit here and write this out it seems like it was only yesterday that I was in Dubai. The many smells, intense heat, and the relational bonding pile into my mind but the theme that runs through all my memories is that of genuine love. A love that can only be explained by one thing, time spent with Jesus. As we spent seven days together with the University students reading, studying, and discussing the word of God according to Mark our relationships with one another only strengthened. It was great to hear the students wrestling with the truth of the words of Jesus which led to some seeing and savoring or hardening and rejecting Him as Lord and Savior. Yet, there was still love for one another. This was better than any oasis one could hope for in the desert for it brings streams of living waters and new, abundant, and rich life.

Worship Brings Transformation

This ministry only exists because worship doesn't. We want to see the nations see and savour Jesus as Lord of their lives.

They will eventually return to their home countries or others around the world where they will have the potential to impact their communities with the transformative power of the gospel of Jesus.

   Moving May 2019

After my time in Dubai the ministry team and myself both agreed it would be good for me to officially start in August of 2019. Lord willing I will have funds raised by May of 2019 and move at the end of May so that I can settle in before August. The first year models more of an internship role, learning language and the ministry. I may take language at one of the universities so that I can meet new students at the same time.

Will you join me in this work??

I am currently sitting just below

I will send another update out in the next week to share more about my time mobilizing this fall.
