Heinz 57

Heinz 57. Yes, that's right. Ketchup. I hope that this post will catch you up a little bit more. In honor of the title, I will list 57 things that you should know if you want this blog to make sense.


1. Right now it is 2:29 a.m. and so I may get a little bit silly. But this is serious stuff....that is why I am still awake. I want to record what God is doing before I forget.


2. Kevin. He is a lonely guy who lives across from us with his cat "sneaky." We fed sneaky for him while He went on vacation, and he is going to cook dinner for us to re-pay us. Pray that we could show him Christ's love.


3. Renee. I have only seen her about 4 times. She lives right below us.


4. Matthew. In the book of Matthew (Chapter 19) Jesus teaches that we are supposed to love our neighbors as ourselves. We are praying for the grace to do that.

5. I bet you did not know that Leviticus chapter 19 says the same thing about loving your neighbor.

6. India. The Koola family lives in the apartment diagonal from us. They are from India. My roomate Emily and I have been to visit them a few times, and we really like them. I have a cool story about them.

7. Ben. I work with Ben. He hates organized religion, but he is very interested in God. We have some good talks. Yesterday I told him that God is faithful. More about him later.

8. Greek. I am really thankful that I have the opportunity to study Greek. My Greek class and I will have just finished translating the book of 1 John on Tuesday.

9. I don't know if I am going to make it all the way to number 57.

10. Lauryenjah. She is from India as well. Tomorrow Emily and I are going over to her house.

11. BLESS is the name of our apartment. Bethany, Lor, Emily, Sandi, and Sarah live here. But Sandi is moving out tomorrow. We are trusting in God's faithfulness to find us another roomate.

12. Cornerstone. www.cornerstonesimi.com is the website for the group of believers (you know, the Church) that I am a part of.

13. EBC. www.eternitybiblecollege.com My school's website.

14. If I am not busy, or if I am busy but just need to get away, I will be at the beach or in the mountains.

15. Monique. I met Monique at Cornerstone's youth group. She loves Jesus.

16. UPG. Unreached People Group. It is a group of people who has no access to the Gospel.

17. PNG. In Papua New Gineua there are 17 UPGs who are asking people to come live with them.

18. Kristina. She came and sat down at the table with Emily and Me at Starbucks when we were studying. We invited her to church and she came.

19. Missionaries. A lot of missionaries have been influencing me lately, and I am so excited to reach the ends of the earth! But for now, God has me in Simi Valley, California, and so my fellow laborers and I are trying to be faithful while we are here.

20.-57. God is faithful, see the next post.
