Hello Everyone!
First I want to apologize for not updating this in a really long while. Wow only 18 more days until this project is finished. It has gone by so fast. Everything is going really well down here in San Diego. I love how the temperature never really gets any hotter. God is still working in amazing ways down here. It has been a wonderful experience. There is honestly so much that the Lord has taught me in these last 7 weeks that I wouldn’t be able to write it all. Sharing my faith is becoming more and more comfortable for me and the Lord has taught me so much through it. I have talked to a muslim, buddist, 2 hindu’s, atheists, agnostics, and a jewish man. Through these conversations I have learned so much and really have grown in my faith by talking to these people. I am finally getting some of the tourism in as I went to Sea World the other day and about a week ago we went to a San Diego Padre’s Game (baseball). We only have one week left where we go to campus and share with the students there and then most of the last week is prep for coming home. It has truely been an awesome experience. The job is going really well and I am going to be transfered to the Eddie Bauer in Fargo during the school year so I have a job there if I want it. The Lord was definatly looking out for me on that one. Our project still has debt and we are working very hard to get it down to $0. So continue to pray for us as we trust in the Lord to provide for our project. Please pray that as thoughts of home come to our minds with 3 weeks left, that we cant have a strong finish and the Lord will really work in our lives as we close out project. Thank you again for all you that have been praying and supporting me and may God Bless You!

In Christ,
Todd Singer

Hello again. This post is really late. So far things are going really well without the staff. I thought that we wouldnt have as much to do but we actually have more especially now that I started work. Work is going really well and I love my job and the people that I work with. It has been different this last week since it was the week of the fourth. We didnt have our usual meetings because of working and we didnt go to the campus and share this week. Instead we did a beach outreach because this area just floods with an unbelievable amount of people during the fourth of July. Sometime later in this week we did an outreach for a new church plant that will be a church on the beach every Sunday. It has truely been a blessing to see what God has done through our outreaches. Everytime that we come back from an outreach we just hear amazing stories of what God has done. Not only has it been neat to see lives changed in people outside of our project but to see our lives take new perspectives in gaining a stronger walk with the Lord. Every person out here has learned so much in the time that we have here. I think that the biggest thing for me lately has been gaining deeper relationships with those that are around me and just investing in the lives of those here on project. One thing that has really struck me is that I know that I would not choose any amount of Money over an expeerience that I have had that has helped me grow closer to the Lord. These times are priceless and I cannot thank all of you enough for supporting and praying for me. I am sure that there will be so much to talk about when I get back and I'm sure that I will never be able to cover it all. But thank you again to all of you that are praying and thank you so much for the letters of encouragement!

In Christ,
Todd Singer
