Weekend Event – Gospel For Asia
Joshua traveled by himself to the twin cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul) on Friday to volunteer with Gospel For Asia at a youth event.
The event, Aquire the Fire, is filled with music, speaking, and drama designed to help fix broken teen relationships (with God, family, and friends). Gospel For Asia is a non-profit organization that is involved in church planting and evangelism through New Testament like native missionaries in the Indian subcontinent. They also have a child sponsorship program which is an extension of the local church that provides the Dalit (“untouchables”) children with the message of Jesus’ love, a quality education, food, and health benefits. Joshua has volunteered with GFA before at the Sonshine Music Festival in 2004.
The ATF event took place at the Target Center on February 11-12th in Minneapolis and was well attended by over 7000 youth and adults. Many of these committed their lives to the Lord for the first time.
ATF showed a video before lunch on Satuday promoting GFA child sponsorships. During the event, Joshua worked at one of the two GFA booths with other GFA voluteers and staff members promoting child sponsorships. He worked from 2-10 pm on Friday and 7 am – 9 pm on Saturday. During this time, over 90 children were sponsored with many other people requesting more information about GFA. Praise the Lord! They also gave away around 200 Revolution In World Mission books. Joshua stayed overnight at a motel in the twin ciites with two GFA staff members that came to help out at this event.
