Hello friends and family,
This fall, I am going to Lithuania to work with Missionary Sharon McCammon. As some of you know, I am devoting my life to becoming a full-time missionary. Missionary Sharon is planning to disciple me for this brief period of time. I will be leaving on August 6th and coming back home to Michigan on November 3rd. This is going to be a fundamental step in helping me to get closer to reaching the goal of becoming a missionary.
While I'm in Lithuania, Missionary Sharon's goal is to help me grow in the Lord and give me experience on the field. She definitely has a full schedule for me. I will be involved mainly in children’s ministry and evangelism. Some of the things that I will be doing entail:
· Working on a teen challenge farm for a week.
· I will have regular Bible club and mission point teachings each week.
· I will also be working with the radio and TV station they have set up, such as voiceovers ect.
· I will be helping out with the National Billy Graham Crusade-VZ. Missionary Sharon is in charge of Vaiku Zygis (VZ) and will be hosting the children’s festival for the conference called “Hope Festival”.
· I will also be participating in a youth evangelism training camp.
· I am very excited about the language that I will learn. I am going to be taking Russian classes twice a week. During the last 2 weeks of my trip I will be living with a Russian family, totally immersed in the culture.
This is just a glimpse of all that I will be doing while I’m in Lithuania. I am going to need all the prayer that I can get! I cannot stress this enough. Prayer is what really makes the difference. So please pray for me as I prepare for this trip and my actual time in Lithuania. Pray for Missionary Sharon that God’s hand will continue to be with all her programs and all the work she is doing in Eurasia. Last, pray for the LORD’s provision. If you are interested in what is happening in Lithuania and all that Missionary Sharon is doing, then I encourage you to check out this site, www.suteikimevilti.lt.
If you have any questions at all feel free to ask. I am more than happy to answer any questions. If you are willing to donate money you can do so in two ways: PayPal through facebook (It is easy to do and safe to use) or cash or check (Please make your check out to Joseph Bungard and I will be sure you and your church will receive credit for it for tax purposes).
Thank you all so much, it means a lot to me. I will be developing a newsletter and updating it throughout the course of my trip, so if you are interested in receiving the newsletter please let me know through facebook or email (ohiofan1992@aol.com) or let me know if you would like a hard copy.
