The last 2 and a half weeks have been some of the most stretching/growing/blessed times of my life. Staffing has been a blast and the Lord is SO faithful. Leading up to this DTS the Lord started preparing my heart for this season of my life so well. Honestly, if someone told me last year that a year from then I would be doing this, I wouldn't have believed them. My desire for the Lord has been ignited even more and continues to grow daily. I never thought I would be waking up at 5:45am (sometimes earlier) in order to have time with the Lord, not because someone tells me to, but because it's my delight and desire.
The Lord is teaching me how to rest in him, not physically but in the busyness of it all. He is my comforter and gives me an abundance of peace and joy! Our schedule is usually a full 10-12 hours a day of intentional class room/one on one discipleship with the students and staff preparation work. Yesterday it was a 14 hour day! I am so thankful for long days such as these. The students are receiving so much breakthrough with the Lord. Over the past 2 weeks we have seen over 50 healings. Our God is alive and still moves with His love through healing. We ask in full faith and pray in the name of Jesus and He is faithful to respond! We have seen life long illnesses, broken bones and blind eyes restored!
I am excited to announce that I will be co-leading a team to Amsterdam (red light district) and London for outreach in March-June. With the evangelism training of sharing the gospel of Jesus, that the students are getting, we know that we will see many souls won for Jesus!! We have a team of 6 staff and 17 students!
Here is a video from the first week of DTS. Our students are amazing!
Arrival day at the airport! We had over 700 students show up for several different schools on the YWAM campus!
The second night they were here we had a night of welcoming them into our family. We washed our students feet and told them how much we loved them and how committed we are to them. Here is a picture of the set up before the students arrived. We had worship set up in the middle.
Last mondays worship night in the prayer room. My view from the stage! I have never seen such hunger for the Lord before. These students(LEADERS) are blowing us away!
When I was younger I loved drumming and even had my own drum set. My dad and I got one at a garage sale in Colorado and somehow got it back to Oklahoma! When I started playing guitar I stop drums playing around age 13. Well about a month ago I got back on the drums. I had missed it so much and I feel so alive when I am playing worshiping Jesus through drumming! Some how I was asked to play drums for the first monday morning worship set of the Jan quarter. Over 1000 people were there. I was terrified but it was such a great time with the Lord! I am playing a ton during the week on regularly scheduled worship sets in the prayer room as well.
YWAM Kona is exploding! The campus is 100% full. With over 1000 people living on base, the dorms and class rooms are packed. The Fire and Fragrance staff ordered a massive white revival tent for our class room! The tent came all the way from Miami Oklahoma!! They cleared tons of brush and trees in order for us to lay a foundation with bricks!
TENT OF GLORY! The training that is happening in that tent will change thousands of souls eternal destiny's. The students are all in for saving the lost, and I know some will be staying on outreach. When thousands of people receive salvation of Jesus, many will have to stay on outreach in order to disciple them. Revival is coming to the nations of the world. Jesus is longing for His children to come into relationship with Him!! No better way of spending my life!
Thursday night meeting. Over a thousand gather every week and worship Jesus!
LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
Keep me in your prayers! For health and for finances. I am in need of about $4000 to lead the outreach to Europe. I know this is where the Lord is leading me, and if you feel lead to partner with me please do so.
