In response to ymmiJ

Jimmy, a quick description of my ministry is; I work along side Missionaries and document what they do and give them something better then cheesy business cards for support. Through my images and stories that come along side of them.

Another aspect to this is; when I am out "in the field” what/where ever that is, I document what is going on in that culture. Thus creating books, magazines, articles, ect. so people can look at the images/articles (whatever) and then maybe I can give them inspiration to get up and do something about it themselves.... Chris T has always said, “I can't change the world with 1 picture but one person can change the world who sees my picture. (Something like that).

ALSO. I don't just want to take pictures where ever I am so, I am a facilitator on a Ropes Course (Challenge Course like at CSI) and I bring games with me where ever I go and I can a.) play games with people and b.) teach things I believe Christ would have us live our life by. (Trust, communication, goals, integrity..."fruits of the spirit") things like that.

So in short that is my "ministry" and it is just in the beginning I keep on getting more ideas its kind of cool. Its going from the morphing stage to something that I can begin to show people...pretty sweet having these dreams and they are actually playing out in my life.

So in response to your other question about donations:

I am currently learning (thanks to my parents)...let me begin like this.
I don't like to "use" people. I know lots of different people and have a lot of "connections" but for along time, (Almost a year) I didn't "use"? these people in order for help. I thought I could do it all on my own. Cause that’s they way we are all supposed to do it, so I can call it "MINE." So I can be the big dog. I don't need any Stinking help!
This last year has been a time of learning for me. I can start up my ministry (my way of life) by myself and I am sure I'll do OK at it. But, if I can work along side other people who see my dream also we can go further.

Two quotes that I remember from this last year.

"I can build a house all by myself and be happy with it. But, if I work along side hundreds of other people I can build the Empire State Building." - Me.

Another is

"If you want to go fast, go by yourself. If you want to go far, take someone with you." - Jeff Nelson (Ropes Course Director)

I have huge dreams and goals that I know are impossible for just me to accomplish, period. But with the help of people I can take that dream and accomplish something that we all can be proud of.

So in short (maybe long), That is why I have a donation button at the top of the page. And I think that I am trusting God with everything that I have. I am just giving the opportunity to somebody who may not have any other way to help out with my goal. Just taking advantage of what I have at my fingertips.

Thank You Jimmy for asking me those questions I have needed to get those written down for some time now. Not just for you but also for the other 4 people that read my blog.

Thanks
By the way, the picture is of the ropes course going on one of our Mandatory fun days…rock climbing. This is when I did my first Mulit-pitch…good times. I had a lot of fun.

Thanks for reading this much...oh I have glasses now.
