Hi Louie,

I also wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for inviting me to be a part of the Nehemiah Team in 2005. God taught me the importance of continual surrender to his plan, and I am reminded of this as I pause to pray once again in the Garden of Gethsemane. I am currently in Israel, studying abroad with Westmont College: Geography, History, and Religion of the Holy Land; and ran into the tour guide at the Garden Tomb, who remembered your visit two/three weeks ago! Ever since the Nehemiah trip to Israel, I have really felt a burden for the lost, and, as of now, my passion is to serve Him after I graduate (2010), as a elementary school teacher at an international school, wherever He leads me. This summer, before Israel, I spent two weeks in Japan, observing/volunteering at an international school there, gaining valuable insight into the profession and discovering that an international school is truly where my passions meet and what God has prepared me to do! Thanks again to the Nehemiah experience that showed me the incredible/surprising ways that God works, and led me out of my comfort zone in being bold for Christ!

Thank you again to your faithfulness to Reign Ministries, In’tl, and your investment not only into this powerful work of God, but the students who have the opportunity to take part in a Royal Servants trip!

Keep serving Him wholeheartedly! 1 Cor. 15:58
