Traveling the World to Spread the Word!

Where in the world am I going next?
Some of you have asked where God is leading me this year!?  I'm pumped to announce that I'm going to Romania this summer!  July 12-22.  I will be leading a team, thru Calvary Chapel Chattanooga, to Oradea Romania to assist "Pathways to Joy" Ministry in running a Camp for Orphans between the ages of 8 and 18.  It is going to be an amazing and humbling experience, I'm sure!

What will we be doing?
The camp will be Monday thru Saturday and will be filled with all kinds of awesome things:  Small Group Morning Devotionals, Crafts, Team Sports, High/Low Obstacle Courses, Games, Free Time, Chapel (Dramas, Worship, Testimonies, Teaching), and evening events like a Masked Ball & Camp Fires.  We will be sharing the work load with another church from up North too!  So, at this point, I'm not sure who will be leading or assisting in what activities but I'm excited about working along side another group of believers!

Is there a theme?
Royalty:  Sons and Daughters of God.
Verse for the week:  1 John 3:1 "See what great love the father has lavished on us, that we should be called the children of God!  And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him."
Each day there will be a sub theme in which we will dig deeper into within the small groups and main chapel teaching.

How can I get involved?
We need your prayer as we prepare over the next 7 weeks or so.  Prayer that the team raises the support financially but more so that we prepare our hearts spiritually for serving some beautiful Romanian orphans!  If you would like to donate towards our team then please email me at kyle@calvarychatt.com and I will let you know how.

My prayer!
I cannot wait to see what God is going to do in my heart!
Break me, mold me, make me into whatever vessel You need, Lord, in order to pour out Your spirit onto these beautiful orphans!  Help me to be the leader to our team and assistant to Pathways to Joy & the other church!  Fill me to do as much & humble me to do as little as You want me to do!  Use my gifts, that You have given me, for Your glory!

I will update you on the WHO that is going in the next week or so when we get it down solid.  That way you will better know how to pray!  Thank you guys for your love & support always!

In Christ,
Preacher Hawk
