lets get started

The first week back in hawaii has been amazing. it has been so great to get to see all my friends again and get started with this january school. students finally started showing up today so i have been doing some airport runs and getting stuff ready. we had a couple base cleaning days so that the base would be at its best for the students to arrive, mostly yard work in hawaii. we had milk and orange juice that wasn't expired donated this week, a rare thing in these parts it was like christmas all over again enjoying a cup of orange juice. im so excited for the school to start, God has been putting the desire in my heart to spend even more time praying and being in scripture. i can't wait to see what God has in store for these students and to get to know them. it looks like im going to be the point person for evangelism which i am really excited about. I really have the desire to tell people about Jesus and have been working on having a greater fear of the lord than fear of man and it has been going well. i get so excited to go and tell people about Jesus, it is nerve-racking but totally worth dying to myself and stepping out in faith and watching God use me. thanks for reading my blog if you have any questions or comments please email me, i love to hear from people stephen.duke@yahoo.com

God bless
