Update Update Update

It has been a crazy few weeks here in Tahoe! We recently moved houses! The Gouldings, who graciously allowed us to stay in their home, have left Truckee for the season. So we prayed for a new place to live, and the day before the Gouldings left, a brother from church offered his house for us to stay in. We now live with our buddy Paul and everything is going great here. We have been fortunate enough to have many visitors fly in to spend time with us. Friends from Moody, Georgia, Arizona, and Michigan have come join in the ministry and encourage their brothers. We miss them all dearly! In the past few weeks we have gone surfing, held our weekly wax nights, and worked intentionally at our jobs. God is still moving here in Tahoe! Many of us feel lead to stay here for the summer and continue doing our best to further His kingdom. Our last wax night was last night, but we will continue working with Snowboarders for Christ through early April in other forms. The Snowboarders for Christ crew from Colorado came out earlier this week. We met the founders of the organization, snowboarded with them, and had a great time enjoying the fellowship of brothers. They are a great group of guys who love the Lord with all their hearts. They snowboard for His glory instead of their own, and that stands out on the hill!
As we look forward to the last few weeks of the snowboard season, and for some us, our time in Tahoe, we want to make the most of every minute we have. We need prayer! Please be praying that we will be effective in representing Christ every where we go. Every conversation counts! We also need guidance for the summer. Some of us are still unsure as to where God wants us living, working, and ministering. Pray for guidance, and thank God that He always provides for our necessities.
Looking back at the time we have spent here, it is incredible to see what the Lord has done! Andrea accepted the Lord, and her heart is on fire, and so hungry to know the Savior more. She, along with the rest of us, has grown a lot this season. We thank God for how the Body has been able to encourage one another in Truckee. We also thank God for our opportunities to serve in various places with lots of different people. God is so great, and His grace is unfathomable.
Thank you all so much for reading this, and your prayers have truly had a great impact. Keep it up brothers and sisters!
Your fellow soldiers,
The T4 guys

T4 Teams with Project Snow

Skipping church is usually frowned upon, but last Sunday we felt the Lord wanting us to do something a little different with His day. A friend through Snowboarders For Christ told us about a snowboarding program for foster children in the Reno area. It is called Project Snow. The organization has been donated snowboarding equipment from many companies such as Forever Board Shop in Kansas City, 32, Clif Bar, Standard Films, and private donars. They fit the kids with gear and then take them up to Mt. Rose to learn the sport of snowboarding. The mission of Project Snow is to target the unhealthiness of kids today. At the mountain the children are taught proper eating habits, stretching, and the benefits of staying active through sports like snowboarding. T4 volunteered to spend the day with these kids and love them like Jesus does. While many of the children had seen great pain in their short lives, they were the greatest! And they can shred!!! God says when we serve the people He created, we are serving Him. Please be praying for the beautiful children in the picture above. They need the Lord, as we all do. We thank God for a chance to love these children!
