Dear Friends and Supporters,
Thank you for your ongoing support and prayers! I am very excited to share my Spring update. The Lord has guided the past three months toward my goals. Ecclesiastes 11:1 has been a special promise I've claimed: "Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days." I am learning that what I choose to invest now in my deputation ministry greatly impacts the future in all aspects whether it be financially or in the prospect of souls coming to Christ.
The Blessings of New Support
God has allowed me to take part in 7 missions conferences over the past few months as well as multiple individual meetings throughout Texas, Nevada, Georgia, Tennessee, California, and Florida. Since I last updated in December, God has allowed my support to grow from 5% to 20%.
I am thankful for this exciting growth, especially the privilege to partner with several international churches God has brought into my life.
Additionally, I have been preparing for my two upcoming trips to the Amazon--the first in May and the second in September. Several churches generously donated many medical items and supplies we need to operate the medical clinics and outreaches in the village ministry. These clinics will be an enormous soul-winning opportunity as many of these villagers will come for the medical care, but stay for the Gospel.
One specific blessing was the payment for my language school. At the beginning of February, I began praying about the possibility of paying off my language school now in preparation for my future ministry. As an act of faith, I committed to paying off a year at a time. God used a dear church in Florida to provide for this need. I am so grateful for this church's love and investment in my ministry.
Soulwinning "On the Go"
God has allowed me to fly to several meetings and this has allowed for a unique soul-winning opportunity. I have been stocking up on my Gospel tracts with the goal of having
them all given out by the end of each trip. A dear lady I sat with on a recent flight, Candace, allowed me to share my testimony and the Gospel. Her profession of faith gave the impression she was relying more on her "works" and feelings of eternal security. Although she was not ready for salvation, she took the tract and I know of several seated around us that heard this full Gospel presentation.
The Year Ahead
As I closed out the month of March, I attended a Spanish Missions Conference in Texas. I enjoyed the opportunity to participate in an after-school Bible club ministry with this church.
Additionally, I am in the process of completing my Wound Care certification. I am approaching my third year as an RN and this certification will provide greater education and skill needed for many of the medical cases I will face serving in the Amazon. I have been completing the necessary clinical hours and plan to take the state test over the next month or so.
I am excited for what the rest of this Spring and Summer holds. Thank you for your prayers and support. I am excited to partner together with you all!
In Christ,
Sarah Goodman, Psalm 67:2
