A Great Year

Today Naomi & I dropped off all the FYMs at the airport in Brownsville.  The young men and women who left today are not the same ones we picked up in September.  It’s not that we changed students as some part in the year, but God has done so much in each of them that they are returning home different people.  The past nine months have not been easy; we have had more challenges than I have ever seen in my life, but through it all I have seen God do so much!!  I thank God for allowing me to be a part of leading this team.  My greatest joy this year has been seeing what God can do in the lives of people who are committed to serving Him with all their hearts.  I have seen a team fight for unity and perseverance, I have seen a nineteen year old who has so much conviction of God’s will for her life that she refuses to give up no matter how hard it becomes, and I have seen the Lord produce tangible fruit because of the faithfulness of a small group of college-age students.  Thank you for all your prayers throughout this year; you will never know how much God used you and your prayers this year, but believe that He has because we could not have done this without you.  God bless you all!
