Job Hunt

So I am in the process of looking for a full time job. I have sent my resume to a couple Youth Ministry positions, one in Durham and the other in the Charlotte area. I am not only pursuing youth ministry, but am open to any kind of full time job that will be able to help me get though seminary. If any of you hear anything in this general area please let me know, I am very interested! My hope is to be able to work full time and take seminary courses from Gordon-Conwell part time. It will take me about six years to get through seminary this way, but I figure that it will be six years of learning and growing that will help me in my future ministry. I am just praying that God will open up a door and lead me in the right direction, please join me in this!

Internship Happenings

Seminary Grade In

I found out today that I got a B+ in my first seminary coarse at Gordan Conwell, Church History: Early Church to the Reformation. I am very happy with this because I knew that I did not do well on the exam, so I feared that would effect my overall grade. I must have done really well on everything else :). I am now enrolled in Church History: Reformation to the Present, hopefully I can get an even better grade this semester!

Fundraising

The chart to the right is an updated status of the fund raising that I have been asked to do as a part of the fellows program. As you can see I still have a long ways to go in order to achieve the goal of $5,ooo, and now not a lot of time. It has been difficult for me to ask for money especially when I know money is tight for most everyone right now. However, this program has been a tremendous blessing to me. There are many at the Church of Apostles who have put in a great deal of hard work into providing this opportunity for me and the other fellows. That is why I continue to ask all those who are willing or able to contribute to my fund raising effort to please do so. Any amount whether it is big or small is a tremendous blessing to me. Therefore, please if you are reading this blog and you have not already contibuted, please consider helping me achieve my goal, even if you are only able to give a small amount. For those of you who may be hearing of this need to raise money for the first time, it is simply because I have struggled with the idea of asking for money, and not out of a lack of need. I also hope to send out another letter asking for support soon. If any of you know anyone whom, I may have neglected to ask please let me know, and I will be sure to send them a letter. I am not sure how many people actually read this blog, but I do hope that by posting my progress on here someone who may not know about this may read it.
