A whole lot has happened since I last posted. I got a job! God blessed me with a job at Fredmeyer grocery, which is a great place; I will have a lot of contact with coworkers who I can build relationships with and witness to, and I can work the schedule necessary to work with project. I am really excited. Please pray for my future co-workers, the employees of Fredmeyer in Juneau; that God would soften their hearts to the gospel and that he would help them to open up to build friendships. Please pray for me; that I would be outgoing and intentional with my conversations. I have learned so much in the past week or so. One of the biggest things I learned was about my view of "missionaries" and grace. I used to think that missionaries had to be basically solid Christians who had worked through most of their struggles. That is bogus. We are all called to be missionaries, and the best witness is an authentic explanation of how a person needs grace. It is God who changes peoples hearts, and if we didn't need grace their wouldn't be a reason to tell about it. I have also been thinking about being bold with the Gospel and explaining in a really direct way the reason I am here for the summer. I recently read Acts 4 and was impressed by how simply Peter and John explained what they had done after healing the man at the Gate called Beautifull; they straight up said that they did it in the name of Jesus Christ, and that Jesus was the only way to no God. ("no other name under heaven, given to men, by which we must be saved") I think when I explain why I am here to people who question why we are serving the community I want to be more direct; to say that I am doing it in Jesus' name and that I believe Jesus is The Way. The Sadducees could not deny the real way in which Peter and John helped the crippled man. In the same way I can use how I serve people here as an open witness to God's power and how he is working through me.
