Invitation to Teach at Connect 2015!

You might remember that I taught a Bible backgrounds and literature course at Connect 2012, which is an eight day leadership training seminar for Students For Christ-Europe.  They have asked me to return this year to teach a course on Hermeneutics (how to interpret scripture) plus a workshop on pentecostal worship.  I will be teaching SFC missionaries and student leaders.   

The SFC leadership team have also invited Angel to help out at Connect.  She will assist in record-keeping, taking money for registration, book-table, laundry, etc, as well as helping in the nursery. 

We have purchased our plane tickets, and plan to arrive a week early in order to get past jet lag and visit some of the folks who were in my ministry in Germany.  We estimate the total cost will be somewhat more than $3000.

Connect is a missionary endeavor, so we will be raising support to cover the cost of travel, room, and board.  Giving is through the non-profit Biblical Literacy Project, so please make your check out to them with a note on the “for” line that it is for Connect 2015.  You can also give electronically by going to the "Donate" page.

Either way you will receive a tax-deductible receipt for your gift.

I am also asking for prayer support during the fund-raising and the actual trip.  The dates are 19 July to 2 August.  The last three times I have taught in Europe I’ve also gotten sick and had to teach with overwhelming jet lag once and tooth problems (on the same tooth!) twice.  I greatly desire your prayers for both me and for Angel, not only for safety and health, but for effectiveness at our jobs and for God’s purposes to be accomplished.
