Heading to Africa

Hello
It’s happening!! I’m spending a year volunteering with the mission team in Equatorial Guinea and I’m so excited. Since you are either one of my friends or a part of my family, I thought I would give you some background and let you know what’s been going on this past year and what is coming up this next year.
After spending 2 years living in Steinbach and volunteering with youth ministry, working, and coaching sports, I decided to move back to Winnipeg and spend a year at the University of Manitoba. Although the studies were actually pretty interesting, the highlight of this past year was meeting a ton of new people from a bunch of different perspectives. It was exciting and stretching to learn what it means to love Jesus at the university among friends who don’t know Jesus. In the second semester I was able lead a prayer meeting that joined a number of the Christian student groups at the U of M. We met weekly in one of the chapels and it was so heart-warming to see followers of Jesus from all over the university come together to pray.
During this past year I was approached with the offer to go with WEC (Worldwide Evangelization for Christ) to Equatorial Guinea. After spending some time praying and discerning, I am happy to say that I feel God’s leading in this trip. WEC has missionaries all over the globe and I’m pumped to be going under them. When I’m there I will be staying with a local family that speaks only Spanish. Equatorial Guinea is the only Spanish-speaking country in Africa.
So that’s what’s been going on. Needless to say, I’m pretty excited. If you are the sort of person who prays, PLEASE pray for this whole situation. If you would like to be a part of my prayer team, or would like to know more about how you can support me in any way, feel free to contact me. I’d love to hear from you.

Sincerely,
- Tim Bock
