Greetings from the Ocala National Forest!  We have been on the mission field for a little over 6 months now, and it has been quite a wild ride so far.  God is challenging us and teaching us more about being aware of His presence every day.  It is an honor to pastor the youth of Salt Life Church and we are seeing fruit in the lives of our students.  His plans are perfect and He is guiding our steps.  The Lord is giving us vision and purpose for the future.

New Beginnings:  A new addition to the ministry has been a restaurant called “The Filling Station.”  Jason is currently helping manage the restaurant so he is gone a lot.  Everyone working is made up of our teenagers and other staff members.  It has been hard work, but the community is really responding positively.  In the fall the ministry will be hosting a culinary arts program, the ultimate goal of the restaurant is to provide job experience and to teach good worth ethic to the young people in the program and the community.  If you're in the area come and visit or if you'd like to volunteer give us a call.

What’s in store for the future:  We are looking forward to starting a student leadership program with our youth to prepare them for campus missions.  We hope to have at least one campus missionary in every school represented by our youth group in the next year.  We will be working closely with “Youth Alive” to make this happen!  We couldn't be more proud of our students.  We are excited to see what God has in store for this school year.

Prayer Request:  Please pray for Alex as she will be homeschooling the kids this year.  Pray for Jason as he invests so much time into different aspects of the ministry.  Pray we will have God inspired focus and vision for our student ministry.  Also pray that we will reach our financial support goal. 

 

The Need:  We have still not met our financial support goal.  We need around $1000 per month to handle gas, living expenses, and ministry training.  We have several monthly sponsors at this time but we need more.
