YWAM Support Raising Newsletter - August 2009'`'`'`'`' Johnson Family Missions '`'`'`'`' '`'`'`'`' August 24, 2009 '`'`'`'`'`' Dear !fname: Today is another really hard-good day. Seems like those are happening in more frequency.In a few hours I'll be heading to the Philippinesto help train up 20 some young Filipinos forthe coming harvest. It is hard to leave Kayand Hanna. It is good to be obedient, and anhonor to serve the Lord of the Harvest with you guys. It was 38 years ago that I encountered Jesus Christ.It was a a Lutheran Confirmation camp. A bunch ofpeople must have given up their summer vacation toserve at this camp. It took that week for me torealize Jesus wasn't some just some historical figure, but was alive and wanted to know me. I didn'teven say a traditional prayer. I simply said, "If whatthey are saying is true Jesus, I want to be your friend." Anyone that researches will tell you that 85% + ofpeople that know Jesus, became Christians under theage of 18. This is why I love what we are doing.It only makes sense then to put the majority of theresources of the Kingdom into young people. We havethe incredible privilege to assist young people to reach young people. Kay was reading last night and Is. 61 really hit her.The part that got me again was that the gospel wouldbe preached to the poor. Please pray for us duringthis season that we stay faithful to the task. TheLord has made it very clear to us He is planning aHUGE harvest of poor Filipino young people in the near future that we get the privilege of participating in. Many of you responded to our request for assistancein getting some seed money into this school. Thank You.We were able to get the printing of the text booksdone for the school. I'll be bringing the rest ofthe donations with me to fuel these young peoplewith tools (office equipment, computers, promotionalmaterial, etc.) that they will need to do their work. We will need much more in the days ahead, but thesegifts will prime the pump as the word gets out in the Philippines and we can begin our fund raisingefforts there. Like Kay & I, these young people, and all the 120+ team members we will be bringingin next year all raise their own support and comeon their own effort. Your gift will allow them theresources to work much more effectively. http://www.ywamcampaigns.com/Group/Group.aspx?ID=1000032396 If you wanted to give, but didn't get the chance yet,the need is still on-going. This is a great timeand place to plant seeds for the end times harvest.You can send gifts the regular channels through YWAM,or my folks are handling this request. You can senddonations to: Donn & Geri Johnson 704 Candlewick Dr. NE Poplar Grove, IL 61065 815-765-2248 '`'`'`'`'`'`'`''`'`'`'`''`'`'`'`''`'`'`'`''`'`'`'`' Grace & Peace to You!
