AFRICA!!!!!!

After three tries of trying to do a video blog, I guess the Lord is telling me to write instead of speak.

My heart at the moment is burning for the countries of Nigeria, Cameroon and South Africa. If you read my previous blog, you know that I am headed off to those countries. I would like to share my heart on the specifics of what I know that the Lord will have us do there. In my prayers, and from different brothers and sisters of the body of Christ, I have been getting and feeling that the presence of God is really key to what will happen there. I was reading Romans 15 and strongly felt that that would be what our mission was. Paul states that he will bring the full blessing of Christ Jesus to the Roman church and that he would come in joy and be refreshed by their company. I feel that my brothers, Dan Baumann and Chase Cofer, and I are going to do something along the lines of that. Because our God always has something new for us, I believe that it is going to look and sound different then what Paul mentions.

There is crisis in Nigeria and they need the Lord Jesus Christ. We are just a small part of the bigger plan of what Jesus is doing in those countries. I feel like He is ready to pour out so much on that country. They are hungry and waiting for His word and by His grace we get to partner and spread what He has put on our hearts. Pray that the Joy of the Lord is our strength.

Logistically, I need $3,000 in order to complete the task that Jesus has set out for me. I trust Him completely to provide. He has spoken to me about a certain way that I would receive this amount, so please pray that our Father's will be done. I can't wait to share the things that the Lord does through us.

Please pray for His love to be our main task, His joy to be our strength, His light to shine brightly in that country, His provision of all things as we travel and need provision with finances, His will to be done in our lives and for our eyes to be fixated on Him.

If you have any questions, comments, rebukes, encouragements or ANYTHING!!! I would love to hear what is on your heart. Please feel free to speak into my life as I am to yours. I would love to share more. Email me, Send letters or whatever. Contact me. God Bless and love you. With the Grace of Jesus Christ I write this to whomever the Lord has to read it.

In a DAZE!!!!

How do I summarize 3 months worth of the Love of Jesus encountering both myself and everyone around? How do I summarize how the Lord Jesus moved in a closed muslim country through a group of hungry people? I have no clue but maybe when I start typing my heart will show.

Jesus truly met us on our journey into both the countries of Oman and the country of Dubai.

Our adventure began in Dubai where we spent our first days sort of jet-lagged but also on fire for the Lord. Our Father is so good to us and He proved it over and over again throughout our journey but especially through the body of Christ that we met in Dubai. They are a tight nit family that has a hunger and drive for Jesus and His presence, but on top of that they just like each other and want to be with each other. Of course there is a supernatural side of this, but the Lord has done such a good work in their heart that they are naturally lovers of people. They met us at the beginning of the trip and the end of our trip. Please be praying for the U.A.E. they are hungry and ready for Jesus to encounter them. Please pray for the body of Christ there burning for Jesus to encounter them and people around them. Thank you.

Oman is truly ready for Jesus to encounter the people. Because of security reasons I cannot say much about what has happened, but please feel free to email me or even call me. We connected with a stellar body of Christ down there and they are on fire. They completely received us with open arms. I thank the Lord for the body of Christ because they are so easy and willing to help around the world.

The Omani people have this huge kingdom mindset when it comes to relationship. They understand the importance of relationship over regulation and rules. Looking through the Word of God(the Bible) it clearly shows that GOD was looking for RELATIONSHIP!! After relationship was established with God, the regulations and laws followed. The law is only in the Bible to show us(humans) what sin really is. It is not their to condemn or put us into a place of guilt, but to show us the right way and throw us into the arms of God.The Omanis are very ready for Jesus and His love. Jesus is also ready to pour out His encounters with them. My team and I had a few encounters ourselves. Oman is on the verge of breakthrough , so please pray for that country and the people there. Pray for souls to be won by our Savior.

I am back in Kona releasing my family(the students) in the Awaken DTS back to their homes. I am so impressed by their growth through this six month experience with God. They have truly come to grasp just a piece of God's heart and character and have truly invaded my heart. They are awesome lovers of Jesus and awesome lovers of people, which that, is the Gospel.

My heart is overwhelmed with emotions it's unbelievable. I don't know what to feel so I feel like nothing is coming out. There is a cry waiting to happen, a laughter just dying to spring out, a scream on the brink of booming, and many more. All I hear from God is, "Just relax". Discipling people for six months straight is not something done by our own strength but with the grace of God and the joy of God it's possible. It has been the best seven months of my life and I will keep doing it until the day I am with the Lord Jesus Christ. Discipling the body of Christ is on my heart whether it is with Ywam or outside. My heart burns to see the body of Christ awakened to their true identity in Him and the simplistic heart of Loving Him and Loving People.

I have about three weeks of rest before I head out to Africa for a tour of speaking in DTSs and just doing life with my friends Dan and Chase. Please pray for the Spirit of God to lead us and show us how much He is pursuing us. Please pray for Africa and the people we will encounter there. I will be leaving Jan. 14- Feb. 24. Please partner with my walk and let me know the different things you get in prayer or even if you have an encouraging word. Please pray for finances because Africa is on the other side of the world and that the Lord's will be done. Please keep me in prayers for this coming year because I believe it's going to be bigger than I have ever experienced. Let me know anything that you would like to know or that you would want to tell me. If curious please contact me or just ask Jesus. Blessings and love.
