Second Prayer Letter

Dear Praying Friends, 


This past week many things have happened. Last Saturday class with Mark Tolson on Deputation and then with Kelli Canfield on English. The English class has been a blessing and I am sure that I will learn a lot this semester though it is not my favorite subject. I need to learn how to speak and write if I am to be in the ministry. 


After class we had visitation for about 2 hours as a church and past out more than one thousand fliers. It was a great time though it was raining and just a little cold. 


All week Long God has been at work in my life and I am so grateful for that. In each class that I have I learn so much from each of my teachers. Cults on Monday and learning how to preach the gospel to different Cults around the world has been very helpful. This week we learned about sects. 


Old Testament Survey has been a helpful class as well. I have learned much from Trent about the Old Testament. I love hearing stories of how God worked in the past. Sometimes it is easy to get lost in the Old Testament but to see the big picture of books and God's hand through out is very helpful.


Class on Thursday is always good. This week in our Disciplines class Tyler Masters missionary to North Africa taught us. Our regular teacher, Kevin Hall, is in South Africa with the church that he started there for the next two weeks. 


Thursday night after class we had our first Goers and Senders Coalition meeting at Vision Baptist Church. It was an awesome service. We had much singing and preaching. We heard from about 11 preachers and got to see their heart for world evangelism. I love being able to train in a church that has such a heart for missions. 


Then Friday class with Austin Gardner was good as always. I am very thankful for a pastor that will take time to teach me and train me to be the missionary God wants me to be. He helped us with our preaching and how to preach properly yesterday. We also learned more about the will of God and then heard from a missionary to Indonesia. I love Friday class and being able to hear from missionaries and have pastor guide conversations with them so that we can learn. 


Prayer Requests:
That I will learn all that I can from this semester. 
That I will be able to raise the money to go to Peru this summer if God permits.


In Christ,
Micah Rastelli
