Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters, After 2 ½ years of life transformation through Teen Challenge I came to a point where it was time to move on. I have been suffering from burnout all semester. At Emerging Leaders College we go 6 days a week, at the pace of things, being there for another year and a half helped me decide the withdraw. I will continue the courses I started online. I lost the joy of ministry and the life Christ gives under the burden I was bearing. It is true that with Jesus all obstacles can be overcome. Is my departure failure? Is my departure the end of something great or the beginning of something new? When I saw the grace of God and the love of Jesus when He paid the price for my sins and made me a citizen of heaven I said “I will give my life for you.” This has not changed. I love Jesus. And I will spend my life making His truth and love known. I am back in Tallahassee. I have my heart set on Jesus. I have my ear to the ground. God is faithful and bigger than any circumstance or choice I could ever make. Some people agree with my decision. Some people don’t. I have a peace in my heart about it. I did not leave in rebellion. And I don’t feel like I failed. I gained so much experience and training through my time with Teen Challenge. God has deposited so much in my life through all this. I hope to still be involved with Teen Challenge locally, but more on a volunteer basis. Transition can be tough – especially coming out of the lifestyle I have been in. I literally have nothing. LOL. But Jesus is everything. There are many practical steps I am taking. I hope to get a business license soon so I can start driving again. This would be a huge help. I am living at my dad’s house but will probably move in with my brother over the next week which will be short-term. There are a couple people who have said they will help with groceries. I will still need help with groceries until I am able to receive income. I know I am called into full-time ministry. Nothing else makes sense to me. I will continue to use my giftings, talents, love, heart, life for Jesus. I want to get involved with a ministry here in Tallahassee that has a heart for reaching people in Tallahassee. I will be meeting with a pastor this week. I am praying for God to give vision for this. I want the Father’s heart for Tallahassee and hit the streets taking the life-changing gospel to the lost. The vision I already have I will post-pone until later. I thank you so much for investing in the Kingdom through my life. Truth is, there is nothing special about me. I am just a broken vessel who knows who the Potter is. To Him be the glory.. If you feel on your heart that you still want to support me in ministry I thank you. During this transition period it is especially appreciated as I seek to get back on my feet after this 2 ½ year venture. I am extremely grateful for Teen Challenge and stand behind and support their ministry 100%. Please keep me in your prayer. I love you… Sincerely, Joshua Wesson
