Dear Prayer Partners,
Many of you my dear friends and faithful stragetic partners have challenged me over the past two decades to fully embrace and celebrate the unique way that God has shaped and wired me as an itinerant bible teacher. In many conversations over a dozen of you have instructed me to be stragetic, patient, prudence, proactive and wise in stewarding the gift of public speaking that God has given me.
The last 2 months have been a huge whirlwind of experiences and events that taught me to focus on my calling and my gifting as a missionary/traveling preacher and educator of teenagers. By reflecting on these and diverse speaking opportunities this year I can clearly see how God has used you to speak to me about my life.
Friends! I have to be honest! In the past I have frequently allowed storms of doubt and fear to distract from that using this gift. Recently, God has impressed on my mind that I need to use my gift globally by pursuing opportunities to use my talents with wisdom and courage! A major part of using my gift of speaking is to be a global evangelist and educator. At the end of March I was invited to speak at a youth rally for 400 teens of mostly Asian decent. It was awesome!!

My prayer is that God will continue to open doors for me to travel and speak in Asia, Africa, and North America! As I make plans to relocate to Nigeria in November of 2020, travel internationally to different churches, schools, and nonprofits to help teens be successful adults I know that God will be pleased that I have fully embraced the calling He has given me. Thank you for helping me serve Christ with Joy!
Respectfully
Pastor James Owolabi
