Matthew 7:13-14
           "Enter through the narrow gate.  For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.  But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."

Well guys, this blog has taken me forever to start, but here it goes.  I name it "On The Narrow Way" because my hope is that this blog reflects what I'm learning as I walk with God on the narrow path and informs you of what I'm learning and how you can be praying for me.  For those of you who don't know me or what I'm doing, I'm currently working at a missions mobilization ministry/house building ministry in Tijuana, Mexico.  I've been down here since last June and am leaving at the end of July.  Shortly after that I will be heading to New Tribes Bible Institute in Jackson, Michigan.  My hope for this blog is that you will be able to follow me as I walk along the narrow way and continue on my road to the missions field.  My heart is to bring the gospel to Northeast Africa, an area where there is an absence of the living water, the bread of the life, the Gospel.  I desire to see God glorified in my body as I see his name proclaimed among the nations.  I have a heart for Muslims specifically, because they are just so lost and have bought into a system that enslaves them to this idea of a God who is cruel, brash, and unable to be satisfied.  They live in this cycle of sin, where they strive after God's affection, where they strive to purify themselves.  They do not know that they have been brought near to God through the blood of Christ.  And so they strive.  This is what I want for my life.  To serve the Lord by taking the Gospel to a hungry people that have no knowledge of the redemption they have by grace.  And so this blog for you to be able to follow me, assist me, encourage me.  Whether that means by prayer, financial support, or by offering encouraging words, I hope this blog gives you insight into my life and how the Lord is moving in it.  Thank you for your support. 
                          "Grace and peace to you from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ Amen.

Prayer Requests:
1.  Leadership this summer.  That I would lead the staff here with humility, gentleness, patience, basically all the fruits of the Spirit.
2.  Intimacy with the Lord.  That my time with the Lord would be absolutely precious.
3.  The next step.  Finances for New Tribes and just direction and guidance as I head there in 2 months.  That I would follow the Lord's leading and trust in him.
