Summer Tour 2016

On June 1st, I will be traveling back to El Salvador with Trevor Jenkins to work with some of these students once again! Almost everyone in this picture is deaf and part of our WAVE team in El Salvador. From June 1-11, we will be working together with them, performing songs and having a day camp with games, Bible studies and worship.

 

Amazon FiresOne of the things many of you are aware of is that we have been helping sponsor many of these kids with school supplies and helping them with their education. As part of that effort, we are bringing down several Amazon Fires that were donated for them to use in the school for reading and learning.

Not only are we brings some to the deaf kids but we are also able to give a couple to Daniel who is working teaching English to the students who are victims of gang violence.

Daniel meets with these students once-a-week teaching them English, tutoring them and also hosting Bible studies. God is using him in a great way to introduce these kids to a new way of life from gangs and also in Christ. Continue to pray for them as gang violence is a huge issue in El Salvador. In fact, El Salvador is the murder capital of the world. For more information about this, read this article: El Salvador Murder Capital.

These pics were taken on my last trip when we were able to give them school supplies donated from people in the USA. Please keep them in your prayers.

Another cool thing we get to be part of is hosting a camp for unbelievers on June 3-5. I’ll be the keynote speaker sharing the gospel on how God is searching for people and has come for them to enter into a relationship with them through Jesus Christ. Please keep this event in your prayers as we love people into God’s Kingdom.

Vision 2 Hear is privileged to be able to serve with SAC Ministries in Vijayawada, India. We developed an “official” partnership with Pastor Rajendra last February when George visited. SAC has 7 local churches and a very nice orphanage, housing 14 children currently. (The video below shows George signing with some of the children at the orphanage.) To view more pics from last February, click here: Vijayawada

Since the partnership has formed, Pastor Rajendra has been working hard with the V2H India WAVE team and they have been learning through the internet and via Skype with George. They are doing a fantastic job! George is hopefully going to return to India in February to begin planning for a summer camp there in 2016. During that trip, he will also teach and train the WAVE team as well as speak to the churches of SAC and minister to other local pastors. Please be in prayer for the ministry of SAC and consider sponsoring an orphan at $50 a month. More information about the orphanage can be found here: SACMinistries.com

El Salvador Mission Trip

Would you consider helping me get back to El Salvador this October? This trip and your help will allow us to provide another skate demo with prizes, but supplies for the skate shop to start the business, provide help for the work project of the retaining wall in the community, provide supplies for a gospel outreach within another community and cover our expenses in the country for travel and food. We are excited to also be working with a Christian deaf school and through our v2h mission house, excited to be helping the deaf learn life skills to share the gospel and grow in Christ. This trip will also give us the chance to relaunch our WAVE team ministry and begin to set up next Summer’s mission back.

New Intern Coming All the Way From Germany!

jan-nick 3Vision 2 Hear is so excited that we are going to have another international intern. This February, Jan-Niklas (pronounced “Yan-Nicklas”) will be joining George and V2H through May 2014. Jan is finished with high school an awaiting college, which he will begin in the Fall. Please be in prayer for him as he joins our ministry. We are pumped for this wonderful opportunity to invest in another international student and thus be making disciples of all nations!

Here’s a little biography from Jan:

I want to introduce myself to you. I´m Jan-Niklas Schmidt and I’m 18 years old. I would describe myself as nice, sporting, inquisitive and I´m mostly up to scratch. My hobbies are playing the guitar, meeting friends and doing sports. I graduate school (same as your high-school) this summer and want to start studying aerospace engineering and later I want to be a pilot.

Some people would describe me as “evangelizing Christian”. God plays a big role in my life. He is my guardian and savior and set me free from my sins. He is also my friend, with whom I can talk about everything. I work for him in our church and get to know the youth work because I think that’s my plan from God. I go to my church since I can think and for two years I work as a volunteer in our youth group. When our band plays in services and the Baseball camp I take part as a guitarist to praise God. 

I want to do this internship because in this way I get to know other youth workers to collect ideas and bring them in our youth work, so we can make it better. I think I can grow in faith and can learn more about Christ and to reach youth. And if I´m staying at your country I train my English which is important if I want to be a pilot. 

Thank you that you make it possible for me to do such experience. And I would like to serve you. 

Sincerely Yours,

Jan-Niklas Schmidt
