Supremacy of Christ Conference

So, this weekend, I will be flying out to Minneapolis, Minnesota, for a conference on "The Supremacy of Christ in a Postmodern World". The speakers will be John Piper, Mark Driscoll, D. A. Carson, David Wells, Voddie Baucham and Tim Keller. Praise the Lord for these godly men that have had an impact in my life and my theology. I praise God for using them and allowing me to get the privilege of hearing and learning from them.
Please pray for these men as they minister to a few thousand people this weekend, and pray for me, that I be so focused on Jesus - the all-surpassing Value of my life. I need lots of prayer. Please, let me know what I can pray for you about.
Here's the link about the conference:

Finally.... back out on the streets (just diffferent ones)

Hello..... sorry for not posting in such a while, but times have been busy, as I'm sure that they have been for many of you. But I have a huge praise, and that is that I am back out on the streets again, sharing the gospel with people. My Saturday nights, after the college-age small group that my friend and I lead, we will be heading out on the streets. Not with the sketchboard yet, but that will be starting soon as well. Portland is in need of some people out there.
We met a dude named Mark tonight, that has been on the streets for 26 years. He claims to be a believer, but I'm not so sure, but he was so amazed that someone was out talking to people about the gospel and Jesus. He said that he has never really had a conversation with people on the streets like we had tonight. Praise the Lord that He allowed us to meet Mark. He took a Bible and wants to start reading it, and it was such a nice start to the ministry that we are going to carry out on Saturday nights and whenever we can.

On a different note, a girl from our kids ministry, Boulevards, accepted the Lord this week! Praise God that people are seeing Jesus for the first time as their personal Savior and Commander. God is being so good and He is so sovereign - over all things.

Tonight at our gathering, I shared "How to accomplish Enjoying God forever". I will briefly share them here as well.
1. Galatians 2:19-21 - Surrender, you're dead, Christ is alive in you
2. Hebrews 12:2, 3 - Fix your eyes upon Christ
3. Hebrews 12:1 - Lay aside your sin
4. Hebrews 4:15 - Draw near to God in prayer
5. Psalm 16:11 - Enjoy the pleasures of God forever

The CHIEF END of man is to glorify God BY enjoying Him FOREVER.

Enjoy God and take pleasure in Him - Taste and see that the Lord is good.

Pray for Montreal

Hello my brothers and sisters in Christ.
I ask for your prayers for Montreal right now. I miss it there dearly, and if you've been listening to the news today, there was a shooting at one of the biggest colleges in Montreal. I've heard from my roommate there, Alain, and from Tony, the evangelist that I worked with, and they didn't know too much about all the individuals involved yet.
I did meet people that went to Dawson College this summer and I got to share the gospel with a young man that was really seeking just before I left there. There are people from Peoples Church that go there as well. So, as we know, God glorifies Himself all the time, so please pray that God would be glorified by many being saved because of questions coming up because of this tragedy.
This was right down the road from where we worked on the streets, and Tony and the team will be out this weekend. In the wake of all this, please pray for salvation for many, for comfort, for love, for answers and the Answer - which is Jesus.It hurt me much to hear about this - but God is in control of all things. Pray for the believers there - that it would awake them and give them a zeal and an urgency about sharing.
Pray for Montreal, please.

Enabled & Praying.
Dwight
Matthew 6:33

Thus the busyness begins... but praise the Lord

Well, everything has started! There is so much going on already. Here, I've started my internship, my two jobs, school and next week, I start the childrens and college ministry. But praise the Lord! He is so good.
I want to seek the Lord with all my heart and mind, soul and strength - and find Jesus as my all-surpassing Value everyday! I need prayers for this. I need prayer for direction in my life. I need prayer for what is ahead in the future with ministry and some other areas in my life. I need prayer for what God is calling me to do now. Please, Pray!!!! I want the Lord to do so much in my life for His glory - and for His glory alone.
The temptation is for us to get ourselves in the way of what God wants to do - but this fall, please pray for yourself and for me, that He would increase but we would decrease. I need that prayer for my life.
I know that this is kind of a different type of blog to leave, but I want to keep giving stuff, but I haven't had time, so I wanted to quickly write what I was thinking about.
Please pray Ephesians 3:14-21 into your life.
Ask, beg God to work in your life and be the utmost Value in your life.

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose. - Jim Elliot

Give yourself to Jesus.
