Weary saints

     Many times I find myself at a point of exhaustion, emotionally, mentally, and physically. I feel like I've been running a marathon and that there is no rest. Like I can't go on anymore.

     My name is Joshua Treadway. I cannot keep going on. Not on my own. I work with Child Evangelism Fellowship® (CEF®).  I share the Gospel with children and invest in their lives as God gives me opportunity. I try to help them understand that they are loved more than they can possibly imagine. And I can't do it anymore.

     So I'm giving up. Giving up my ministry to God. Giving up the burdens of ministry to God. Giving up my life to God. He will do His work. And He has chosen me as one of His instruments through which to spread the life-giving message of love, sacrifice, and redemption. I am humbled, and so grateful that He lets me be a part of His beautiful plan.

     Currently, I am studying at the Children's Ministries Institute to be more equipped to effectively teach the Gospel to kids. I started August 20th, and I will complete my training November 14th. God is being so good to me here! New friends, new perspectives, and an overwhelming sense of the love of Christ! I will be posting prayer request/praise updates here and will do my best to keep it up to date.


Praises:

• I arrived to the Institute safely!
• I have made wonderful new friends.
• I am enjoying the work and love my teachers.
• God has provided all that I need for the school and for living here.

Current prayer requests

• That God would continue to use me for His glory.
• That I would remain focused, and have the energy to complete my homework with excellence. 
• For my classmates as they also have the same heavy homework load
