Sorry guys that I haven't updated in forever and left ya'll hanging. It's been amazing so far. God has provided so much for me. He'll leave food for me at a park, someone will put it next to my bed in the middle of the night, someone will give me money, or someone will take me out and get me food. I don't eat as much as I used to but I always get food when I need it. He is faithful.
God's been teaching me a lot since I have all day to read and pray I am able to get some sweet time with him. I haven't experienced the Spirit like I was expecting to but I believe it will be a short time before I do. I think He has wanted to teach me things before He really let the Spirit work through me in God ways.
Please pray for my eyesight that it will be healed. I threw out my contacts the other night on faith that God will heal my eyes so it just a matter of time before He does but if you want to pray for them and be part of the healing. Pray that the Spirit is really manifested in my and that I may have the more important spiritual gifts so I may edify the body and reach the lost for God's glory. Please tell me prayer requests that ya'll have since I have tons of time to pray and I am still apart of the body back home.
Right now I'm chillin with a family that really let's the Spirit guide them and it's been awesome to hear the testimonies that they have of what the Lord is doing around them and through them. I feel that I will learn a lot more so I'm excited and I know you are too. Ha. Love you guys.

Brennan! You are an amazing testimony to everyone around you, and even all the way in arkadelphia. Thank you for showing me what really having faith means. I pray for you often and am so relieved that you are being taken care of. Your awesome.
Brennen it is great to hear how the Lord is providing for you and teaching you! I'm very thankful for the time that I was able to spend with you in Dallas. I now see that the Lord was using you in my life to show me that I was not using what He gave me for Him. The Lord has shown me through many answered prayers that He wants me where I am. I and the Good News on the Move team have been praying for you and for your time wholly entrusted to Our Great Lord and Savior. We will continue to pray that the Lord will bless you and will give many oppurtunities to share the good news of the gospel with those around you. I have been learning a lot about discipleship and being follower's of Christ. Here are some verses I would like to share with you:
1Peter 2:19-21 "For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:"
Luke 14:33 "So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple."
Your brother in Christ,
Jeremiah
God bless you Brennen. Lake Ridge Baptist Church in Cedar Hill is praying for you.

Dude. I love you man and praise God for what you are doing. I love how the Spirit uses us in so many different ways. I am reminded of I Cor 12: 3-7 when you talk about the gifts. As far as praying goes, please pray for my ministry in Austin, specifically in the Marathon Club. Also, I have been having anxiety attacks, which is something new for me. It is a privilege to know you are praying man. -Stefan
God bless you brother! PTL.
I loved the verses that Jeremiah mentioned. I am glad to see you posting something. Immediately when I read how the LORD is faithful to provide you food, I thought of when Jesus says that neither the flowers nor the birds worry about anything because the LORD provides for them, so how much more will He provide for you, His child! Many times we turn passages like those into metaphors for our comfortable middle class lives. It takes a testimony like your's to remind us that passages like that have a literal translation too!
Wow, I can't believe it's only been 2 years since my trip to Japan. I still want to go back, and I still feel a need to go back. God wants more work to be accomplished in Japan, so I have to stay in school to get my education and find a job.
I have a prayer request for ya:
I need better grades. I work hard, but there is sooo much work to do. Please pray hard that I would align my desires to God's desires. I need Him to be priority so He will receive glory both now and later :)
Also, you never mentioned any prayer requests. I'll pray for your belly, and I'll pray for the Spirit to fill you!
-Matt C.
Thanks guys, thanks for the prayers and I will definitely hit God up with those requests. One thing, Jeremiah don't use KJV it hurts my head reading it. Other than that thanks God and thanks ya'll.
