Summer Happenings 2016
Misc
June 18, 2016
Well, it is sad that we haven’t updated our blog in almost 2 years. I guess life has been a little busy! But thank you for taking the time to come here and learn some of what has been going on with us lately. Here are some recent events:
- ISI’s Black Hills True Leadership Retreat (http://blackhillstrue.weebly.com/) – It was fun being a part of this retreat. It is a pre-evangelistic leadership retreat for international students. African ministry leader and ISI staff, Solomon Kendagor, led the students in exercises that emphasized knowing themselves as a key element of being a good leader and recognizing the importance of team. Marcus Do,e a man who lost family members in war- torn Liberia, shared how forgiveness was so important in his development as a leader. Several significant discussions happened over the course of the 4 days. It was fun watching the students really gel and grow. The rest of the trip around South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota went without a hitch. We truly have some good staff in this region.
- Lisa’s 50th Birthday – Lisa’s 50th birthday just happened to be on a Friday night, and a special Friday night because ISI was having a combined concert event, featuring one of our key volunteers, professional musician and music professor, Mike Dean. When Lisa walked into the room where the dinner reception was being held, she was surprised to see our sons there, and the whole ISI family surprised her with a Fabulous and Fifty party. It was great. Roy started the process while he was up north but the ladies from several of our Friday Night ISI home groups made it come together. Praise God for Lisa and all she brings to our family.
Shubham’s Trip – Many years you all have been praying for Shubham (Steve) from India. You’ve seen him come to UTA as a Hindu, grow in his understanding about God, come to faith, and grow steadily. As you may know, he went on a summer mission trip this month to San Francisco, California, where he shared Christ with international students at Stanford and UC Berkeley. He came back with a host of experiences and changes in his life that was such a blessing to see. In the word of his newsletter:
“Mission Accomplished…The mission trip was an enormous success, the whole team did a very hardworking job in evangalising. Numbers don’t lie and here are some which are worth noting —
-186 Spiritual Conversations
-48 Gospel Presentations
–6 Decisions to Follow Jesus
This was the first ever project in San Francisco and we believe that we have achieved huge success. Surely we had our few down times and many up times but hey we did it!
Praise God for his allowing us to see our ministry to Steve come full cycle. Your prayers were very much a reason for this special testimony of God’s work.
- ELI Director – You all were praying for our UTA team and our being able to meet with the new English Language Institute Director. Well, just this week, God opened up the opportunity for Roy to visit with her and re-establish and strengthen our relationship with the program. We also prayed for a resumption of the airport pickup program with them. When Roy was there he happened to connect with the person in charge of that and it all came together. Also at a welcome event that we got to be a part of we met and connected closely with a Turkish student who is a leader among the many Turkish students who happen to be studying at ELI. Praising God for his faithfulness.
Lan’s trip – Pray for a student from China, Lan, who is going to the middle east for a summer missions trip. I never would have thought something like this would be possible even as recently as 10 years ago, but wow! This is cool. Pray for safety. Pray for blessing as she shares. Pray that she will feel God’s presence and Him using her.- Once again pray for Steve (this one’s harder than the last) as he visits his family in India. He has not told them of his faith or his joining the U.S. Army. Pray for a surprisingly peaceful and receptive reception to his news. Pray for a person of peace among his family. Pray that God will show Himself to Steve’s family through answered prayers.
- Big Howdy – in August the Big Howdy (http://utabighowdy.com) is coming. Pray at this time for lots of furniture and household items to be donated for students to put into their homes. Pray for receptive hearts and for people of peace to emerge and connect with our staff and volunteers.
Pray for Roy as he travels to Denver for our ISI national staff conference. Pray that God shows himself in a big way, touches the hearts of staff and sparks a revival that reverberates even among the students.- Vacation in Hawaii – Roy’s parents offered to take our kids to Hawaii for a vacation together (July 4-15) and we are tagging along. Pray for real rest and special memories with my parents who are getting older. Pray for safety. Pray for Ricardo who will be watching our house. Pray for Lisa to find a substitute for her classes at DBU while she is gone.
- Summer Ministry – Pray for the continued ministry of the ISI ministries around the region (including at UTA), that God will bless in this more intimate time. This last Friday, we had three Iranian students in our home group Bible study. Two were even practicing Ramadan while in the group. I know that is fairly common in other home groups but it was very cool for us. Pray for these students to continue to come.
Continued wisdom for a couple of very difficult situations within our ISI Region regarding positioning of various staff members.- Continue to pray for the home groups. Pray for God’s continued touch on the the UTA ISI Home groups. Pray for his presence to be clear and for opportunities to talk about spiritual things and then about Jesus.
- Charis camp/Tim’s gaming and work/Jon’s work– Please pray for Charis as she goes to several camps. Just yesterday she came back from church camp and was blessed. She will be playing in a summer volleyball league and attending a basketball camp later this summer. Pray that God uses these things to mold her into the person He wants her to be. Pray for Timothy as he works at aChristian day camp, Camp Thurman. Pray as he assists in directing 4-5 year old (and older) boys through a Christian camp experience. Pray for him to see how he makes a difference. Pray for Jonathan as he continues to work at the 6th Floor Museum, that he can save money for school next year.

Good website! I really love how it is easy on my eyes and the data are well written. I’m wondering how I might be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your RSS feed which must do the trick! Have a great day!
A day after he beat Cormier for the first time at UFC 182,
the Nevada State Athletic Fee revealed that he had tested positive for cocaine prior to the battle.
But since cocaine isn’t on the list of banned substances, he
did not face any repercussions. Jon Jones encountered Daniel Cormier for the primary time at UFC
182 and efficiently defended his light heavyweight
title. However, he was stripped of the UFC title after he was charged with a Hit & Run incident before his title defense in opposition to Anthony Johnson. Interesting
flip of occasions led Daniel Cormier to win the light heavyweight title
within the absence of Jones and they set to face one
another once more to settle their rivalry at UFC 200.
A couple of months later, he pulled out from his rematch against Cormier at UFC 200 after a
potential drug violation flagged by the
US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). Jon Jones reacts to reclaiming the UFC mild heavyweight championship after
defeating Daniel Cormier at UFC 214 and what this implies for profession. Jon Jones was simply
23 years old when he grew to become UFC mild heavyweight champion in 2011, making him the youngest belt holder in the struggle promotion’s three-decade history.
But it has been a twisty, sometimes bumpy street for “Jonny Bones” ever since, with a combination of breathtaking victories
and issues away from the Octagon. Protein is
a necessity for muscle growth, and the amino acids in it are used by the
body to repair harm triggered throughout exercise.
During the Eighties, conservative politics and Reaganomics held sway because the Berlin Wall crumbled, new laptop technologies
emerged and blockbuster movies and MTV reshaped pop culture.
This just isn’t a comparison, that is to show you the real
natural potential(still golden genetics tho), and how you can have natty alternatives to the physics that
you just see on social media. By 1989, tensions
had erupted and Bon Jovi was barely talking to his bandmates.
In 1986, they launched their seminal album “Slippery When Moist.” From
that second on, they have been bona fide superstars.
Jon Bon Jovi could also be one of the world’s most iconic rockers,
but issues weren’t always that way. Long before becoming a scruffy-haired, leather-clad sensation within the ’80s, the New Jersey native was known solely by his given name, Jon Francis Bongiovi Jr.
Born on 9 December 1985 in the United States, Jon Name embodies the adventurous spirit of a Sagittarius.
He proudly holds American nationality and is well known by his
on-line nickname, Jujimufu, carving his area of interest in the world of weightlifting.
One more thing to notice is that Jujimufu has technically
never denied taking freezma Steroids.
A comply with up take a look at which he handed concluded
that the cocaine metabolite was out of a system before the battle.
This is simply the newest in a slew of legal troubles
that have plagued Jones’ spectacular professional fighting career.
He rose to prominence after his video went viral, the place he was holding a weight
of 100lbs in mid-air splits between 2 chairs. When it involves training,
however, it’s a special route than most.
On the other hand, there is some debate on the effectiveness of
protein supplementation. Some argue that protein dietary supplements could promote gains in both trained and untrained people, whereas others have shown a web loss
of energy with a minimal improve in mass. Protein and creatine dietary supplements are the most used within the health scene, used during resistance coaching like weightlifting.
The greatest example of this is ready to be his
gains since his appearance on America’s Received
Talent. He has bulked up considerably, and his training schedule
is most likely not attainable without performance-enhancing drugs.
The sheer amount of power he would wish to train incessantly without ample rest might merely
not be attainable. The compound has a performance-enhancing affinity to it, enabling the bodybuilder’s physique to develop after workout.
Over time, creatine supplementation can enhance their performance in training, in addition to a marked
improve of their physical development. These
dependent on steroids do face withdrawal syndrome after stopping
their use, leading to signs like fatigue and decreased strength.
Jones, meanwhile, could be defending his title,
and even taking on Alex Pereira for the BMF belt next. Even if the 37-year-old doesn’t, he knows there’s nobody
in the present crop of fighters who’s going to get close.
The fighter from Ny shared a submit on Instagram talking about how no one is even close to him when it comes to accomplishments within the sport.
