Connor Strong is an intern in the Potter’s Field IGNITE Program. Over the last five months, he has traveled to Cambodia, toured with Pastor Michael and Pam Rozell, and served in the first MudMan food truck alongside CC St. Petersburg. The following is a thank you letter from Connor to the sponsors of Potter’s Field Ministries for their faithful prayers and support. Together we are making disciples of all nations and making known the name of Jesus.

Looking back at the last eight months of my life fills me with such joy and humility. The IGNITE program has opened so many doors in my life that I wouldn’t have expected in a million years. Starting in July, I spent three months in Guatemala for training, then I was blessed to go on tour with Potter’s Field Ministries (PFM) as a part of my six-month field time. After traveling the United States, my teammate and I spent seven weeks in the Kingdom of Cambodia, and now we are serving in St. Petersburg, Florida at Calvary Chapel St. Petersburg and working on the first ever MudMan food truck! I know that it all seems like a lot, and it is. However, I’ve grown to learn how truly blessed I am by this ministry and its faithful sponsors and supporters, without whom, almost all of what I’ve been able to experience wouldn’t be possible.

In November I stood at the back table of a Potter’s Field presentation and watched many people come and sign up and select Cambodian prayer children in our program, and not even two weeks later I was in Cambodia sharing Jesus with the same kids who those people were praying for. I even watched a young girl receive a bike as a gift from a sponsor. It really hit me, what I’m a part of, and that our supporters are truly affecting the lives of young children globally and young adults who are seeking after Christ. Your donation and support do so much more than what surface level might show. Now, only a month away from re-entry, I can know and trust that the course of my life will never be what I thought it was. This ministry will continue to have opportunities to build relationships and shape lives across the globe because of the faithfulness of sponsors that God has blessed PFM with. With you we can continue encouraging people and children to pursue Christ forever and ever, ‘Til the whole world hears.
Thank you, beyond my words on paper could express,
