Recently, God has opened the doors for me to participate in a Global Study Intensive (GSI). GSI is a cross-cultural missions training event put together by Free Methodist World Missions. This year, GSI will take place in Phnom Penh, Cambodia from December 31st until January 13th. It will be two weeks of intensive training specifically in the area of ministry in countries of extreme poverty or persecution and also with people who are hurting emotionally. Through the teaching of presenters from different parts of the world, I will have a better understanding of the complexities of mission work. Also, my time in Cambodia will provide an opportunity to meet and talk with people from all over the world and give me a new perspective on world missions as a whole. In order to be a part of GSI, I need to raise between $3,700 to cover the plane ticket, in country travel expenses, lodging, and meals. If you are interested in giving financially, please make your checks payable to: Free Methodist World Missions, and designate “GSI- Malawi- KJL” on the memo. The address is PO Box 535002, Indianapolis, IN 46253-5002. All contributions are tax deductible, as allowed by law. Please don’t write your check to me personally or it will be considered my “personal income” and you will not receive any tax credit. Also, please continue praying for me; I am dependent upon your prayers both for this upcoming trip and for my time here in Malawi.
They blessed the youth with powerful teaching focusing on what it means to truly walk with Jesus. 
We sang songs, performed dramas, met in small groups, and played games with the Malawian youth. 
It was such a joy to get to know the team from Marysville and to serve the Lord alongside them. Thank you for your awesome example of a people who truly ‘walk with Jesus’.
