God's Calling

Hey it's me Logan again.  Yesterday I told you a little about myself, and my history.  Today I want to share with you my future.  God has called me to become a full-time Missonary.  Yes, he has called this city boy to go on mission trips and preach the gospel to those who have not yet heard His Word.  How will the world ever know Him if I do not do something.  Right now is the time for action.  We are God's hands and feet, and I want to be the one who stands up and says, "I'm gonna do something."  How do I plan on doing this?  Well for starters, I am going to attend a school with the organization Youth With A Mission(YWAM) called Discipleship Training School(DTS).  Youth With A Mission is a global outreach group that is located all over the world.  They have over 17,000 active missionaries all over the world.  Their mission is To Know God and to Make Him Known.

The DTS that I am going to be a part of is from June 29, 2014 to November 16, 2014.  It is located in Tyler, Texas at the YWAM base they have there.  It is 5 months long and consists of TWO phases.  The first 3 months is the Lecture Phase.  It will cost $3595 dollars for tuition, food and housing.  During the lecture phase, I will be learning the nature and character of God, learning to hear God's voice, worship, prayer and intercession, God's purposes for your life, and about Christian and other world views of Urban and International missions.  The final 2 months of DTS consists of  the Outreach phase.  This will cost anywhere from $2000-3500 dollars.  This year the outreach teams will be focusing on the Dalit people of India.
Also, during the whole course of this program I am being fed, and I will have a place to lay my head every night. 

Why am I telling you all of this?  Well I am going to need YOUR support.  I want you to be a part of what God has in store for me, and the unreached people of this world.  I won't only need one-time supporters.  I will need long lasting support as I continue to go on outreaches and mission trips globally and locally.

The total cost of DTS is around $7000 dollars.
Tuition-$3595 dollars
Outreach-$2000-3500 dollars

For long-term supporters, I will need close to $100 dollars a month to make it by.  This includes money for washing and drying my clothes, gas money, and for other odds and ends that I might need.

How can you support me? 
First of all I will need Prayer.  Pray that God will be glorified in all that I am doing and that lives will be changed. 
Secondly I will need Financial support.  You may not be there with me on this journey, but with your prayer and financial support, you are there with me.
