Love Is Who You Are!

LOVE IS WHO YOU ARE!

Speaking in tongues is not the point; love is. It is neither angelic eloquence, nor the mastery of human language that persuades. It doesn’t matter how poetic, prophetic, or profound I may sound; my conversation is reduced to the hollow noise of clanging brass cymbals if love’s echo is absent.
I could predict the future in detail and have a word of knowledge for everyone. I could possess amazing faith, and prove it by moving mountains! It doesn’t make me any more important than anyone else. Love is who you are! You are not defined by your gift or deeds.
Love is not about defending a point of view; even if I am prepared to give away everything I have and die a martyr’s death; love does not have to prove itself by acts of supreme devotion or self sacrifice! 
Love is large in being passionate about life and relentlessly patient in bearing the offenses and injuries of others with kindness. Love is completely content and strives for nothing. Love has no desire to make others feel inferior and has no need to sing its own praises.
Love is predictable and does not behave out of character. Love is not ambitious. Love is not spiteful and gets no mileage out of another’s mistakes. 
Love sees no joy in injustice. Love’s delight is in everything that truth celebrates. 
Love is a fortress where everyone feels protected rather than exposed! Love’s persuasion is persistent! Love believes. Love never loses hope and always remains constant in contradiction.
Love never loses it altitude! Prophecies will cease. Tongues will pause. The quest for knowledge will be inappropriate when perfection is grasped. 
What we perceived in prophetic glimpses is now concluded in completeness!
When I was an infant I spoke infant gibberish with the mind of an infant; my reasoning also was typical of an infant; how it all changed when i became a man! I am an infant no more!
There was a time of suspense, when everything we saw was merely mirrored in the prophetic word, like in an enigma; but then I gaze face-to-face; behold, I am in Him! Now I may know even as I have always been known!

Now persuasion and every pleasurable expectation is completed in agape. Agape is the superlative of everything faith and hope always knew to be true about me! Love defines my eternal moment!

Risen and Active

Jesus is not a doctrine, a theology, or a good idea. He is a reality. In the midst of going deep in Kingdom revelation, Jesus whispers,"Don't forget the One who is the King of this kingdom."

It is important to understand doctrines and theologies, however,  I refuse to only know Him through a theological standpoint.

I must experience Him.

Brennan Manning states this in His book, Abba's Child...

"For me, the most radical demand of Christian faith lies in summoning the courage to say yes to the present risenness of Jesus Christ. I have been a Christian for more nearly 50 years, and I have seen the first fervor wear off in the long, undramatic routine of life. I have lived long enough to appreciate that Christianity is lived more in the valley than on the mountaintop, that faith is never doubt-free, and that although God has revealed Himself in creation and in history, the surest way to know God, is in the words of Thomas Aquinas, as tamquam ignotum, as utterly unknowable. No thought can contain Him, no word can express Him; He is beyond anything we can intellectualize or imagine."

The more we journey into Him, the more we see that there is still to go. In the words of Gregory of Nyssa,  "This is truly the vision of God: never to be satisfied in our desire to see him. But by looking at what we do see, we must always rekindle our desire to see more. So there can be no limit interrupting our growth in ascending to God, because there is no limit to the Good, and our desire for the Good is not ended by being satisfied.".

The very instant I try to place Jesus in a theological box, He breaks it every time. I am not speaking about biblical truths of who He is. What I am talking about, is how I experience Him day in and day out. Do I live with the constant awareness that He is with me in the midst of my greatest struggle?

Manning goes on to expound on the present risenness of Jesus. He makes this statement, "The resurrection of Jesus must be experienced as more than a past historical event. Otherwise it is robbed of its impact on the present."

May we echo the heart cry of the Apostle Paul, "that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection".  That word "Know" is an experiential knowing.

In the midst of struggle, hardship, confusion, ambiguity, suffering, disappointment and tragedy, we must not lose sight of Him. "It may happen in these most desperate trials of our human existence that beyond any rational explanation, we may feel a nail-scarred hand clutching ours."

"Pessimism and defeatism are never the fruit of the life-giving Spirit but rather reveal our unawareness of present risenness."

Our hope lies in the finished work of the cross. But the power of the cross lies in the resurrection. And the hope we have rests in this phenomenal statement Jesus makes in Matthew 28:20, "I am with you always".  Our awareness of Him being with us, is the key to sustainable hope in the midst of chaos and confusion.

May we all come to an "experiential knowing" of His present risenness that usurps all other false mindsets we so easily fall into.

He is with you. Always.

August Update

Friends,

My summer of Circuit Rider wildness has come to an end. Words will never do justice for all that happened across America this summer. We held four training schools in Fiji, LA, Pennsylvania, and Kansas City. In 14 hours of focused outreach in the streets, we saw 840 salvations! After doing the math, we realized that every minute of outreach a soul was saved! I believe that number is a bit low though, because everyone involved in these schools did not limit evangelism to the set apart times. They truly displayed a lifestyle of evangelism! I do not share those numbers to brag on how amazing our training schools are. That is not the case at all. Our training is very simple and super basic! I share those numbers to show that the harvest is ripe in America! People are longing to meet Jesus!

Every location we went to was historic! God moved and poured out His love in ways I had never experienced before. We saw the rumblings of revival, but God made it clear to us that this is not the pinnacle! He has plans for America far beyond what we are able to comprehend. However,I believe that our time in Lancaster, PA is a model of what is to come for cities across the nation. Each night our meetings grew by the hundreds! I believe our first night we had around 1400 people in attendance. By the last night we had close to 2000 people there! People were getting saved and healed in the streets during the day and then were bringing their families to the night meetings! Over 60 churches were represented in the sessions. The unity of believers was simply astonishing...


I am currently back in Pasadena preparing for our One Love gathering in LA on August 28th. Check out the event at OneLoveUS.org. I will spend the next month doing different things on college campuses as well as preparing for my trip to India in October. A small team of us will be spending the month of October in India, believing God for a breakthrough among the Hindu world. I will be sending out a more detailed email about the trip this week. If you would like to receive the email, please message me on Facebook, or email me at znash22@gmail.com. Thanks for all of your prayers and support this summer. It was fruitful beyond words!

July Update!

Our first Circuit Rider school has officially begun! We have between 60-70 students with us for the next week here in Los Angeles.

We are kicking off the weekend by partnering with many local ministries and churches for an event called "Love Santa Ana". Yesterday we had a full day of training for the event with Francis Chan, Dave Gibbons, Che Ahn, Jason Ma, Brian Brennt, and a few other amazing leaders in the body of Christ.

Today, the downtown streets of Santa Ana will be shut down. Vendors will hit the streets with tons of great food,  live music, and our Circuit Rider crew will bring the Love of Jesus!

Our only desire is to drop a love bomb on Santa Ana! We have no agenda other than extravagantly loving everyone we interact with. It's an exciting collaboration with many different streams of the body of Christ coming together in unity to see an entire city encounter the Love of Jesus.

Throughout the rest of the week we will be leading our training sessions in the mornings, followed by evening meetings and outreaches all across LA. We are excited to be partnering with different local churches and ministries during this school.  One of our days will be spent on Sunset Strip with the Radiance House of Prayer. We will spend the majority of the day on the streets believing God for a demonstration of the Gospel's power!

Please pray for our week of training and outreaches! We want to see a lasting effect through these schools.

After this week I will be traveling to Pennsylvania and then Kansas City for two other CR schools.

Looking forward to posting some amazing testimonies from the next few weeks!

Blessings,

June Update!

Friends and Family!

I wanted to bring you a quick update from Pasadena. Things are going extremely well here! My transition to California has been very smooth, God definitely has poured out His grace on this move!

Two weeks ago myself and a few others from our community enrolled  ourselves in a course at The U.S. Center called "Perspectives on the World Christian Movement". It is usually a 15 week course, but every summer they do a 15 day intensive course, which is what we are doing. We have already finished two out of the three weeks. It has been one of the most beneficial decisions I have made toward living a life of missions. I went into the course thinking I knew quite a bit about God's heart and plan for the nations...after the first day of class, I realized I had not even scratched the surface! These teachings have completely shifted my paradigm for the Christian life! It is incredibly useful teaching that we will implement into the training schools we will conduct here. 

We are about a month out from our Circuit Rider training school in L.A. After L.A., we will travel to Lancaster, PA for a week followed by a week in Kansas City at IHOP (International House of Prayer) for two more schools. Our expectations are very high going into these schools. Please be in prayer for our time in each location. We are longing to see young people mobilized into a life of bold gospel proclamation at their Universities or wherever God may send them. God is raising up a generation who will shatter the American dream by laying down there lives to see the Gospel of His Kingdom proclaimed to the ends of the earth! 

As far as Pasadena goes, we are continuing to build momentum for what God wants to establish here. We are meeting with the Ekballo House of Prayer and The U.S. Center multiple times a week for prayer and strategizing how we can begin to mobilize people to the 7,000 unreached people groups of the world. There are 2.89 billion souls who have never heard the Gospel! We are adamant to see that change. Matthew 24:14 states that "The Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come". God will have a remnant from every people group who worship Him. Would you continue to pray with us to see God ekballo (thrust) laborers into every unreached people group? We echo the prayer in Matthew 9:38 "Lord of the Harvest, ekballo laborers into the harvest field!".

Pasadena Update!

I made it to Pasadena yesterday afternoon! I have come to join with our YWAM crew from Kona who have planted themselves here to run alongside the U.S. Center For World Mission, as well as Lou Engle's ministry, The Call. The heartbeat behind this convergence is to partner together with Lord, in hopes of establishing training schools that will equip young men and women to be sent out to the hardest and darkest places of earth with the Gospel of Jesus. 

Our crew from Kona has been here for 7 months now! They have been plowing away in prayer to catch vision of the massive plan that God has, not only for Pasadena, but for the nations of the earth that will be affected by what flows from the U.S. Center. 


I am so excited to dive into all of the things that God is doing in and through our team here. The opportunities here are endless.   This summer is going to be wild! Starting in July we will be traveling to LA, Pennsylvania, and Kansas City to be a part of the The Circuit Riders School. Apart from that, and many other things to come, we will also be running alongside the house of prayer here in Pasadena, by partnering with the Lord through intercession, to see the words spoken by Him come to fruition. What an honor it is to be able to partner with God in prayer to see His Kingdom invade earth! 

I will be sending out a more detailed newsletter in the next few days that I hope will explain a little more in depth of the practical day to day life here! I just wanted to fill you in briefly on where I am and the vision that our crew is moving toward!

Thank you so much for all of your prayers and support. If you would like to become a monthly partner or give a one time donation you can do so here

Blessings!

Journey of Faith


"The journey of the man who would become known as Abraham is a paradigm of all authentic faith. His is a movement into obscurity, into the undefined, into ambiguity, and not into some predetermined, clearly delineated plan for the future. Each future determination, each next step discloses itself only out of a discernment of the influence of God in the present moment."


"By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as an inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going"
Hebrews 11:8



After 2800 miles of driving, I have made it to the west coast! We took 7 days to make the journey from East Tennessee to California. I am blown away by the beauty of this country. Two highlights of the trip were visiting the Grand Canyon, and Zion National Park. As I stood before the Grand Canyon, gazing out at this massive landscape, I was in complete awe of how big God is. We truly serve a mighty God!

I am currently staying with family in Los Osos, a town on the central coast of California. My goal is to be moved down to Southern California within the next week or so. I am still seeking the Lord and working out details for the exact location where I will be living and serving. I have several amazing opportunities, the next step is just figuring out which one is the one that the Lord wants! I have no desire to rush the process but I am full of anticipation and excitement due to the direction and words God has given me in recent months.

This season of my life has involved making many Abraham-like faith decisions! It is very exciting and a bit scary at times to be honest. The quote underneath the above picture is a very accurate description of my life over the past year. I have found that my heart is most alive when I am making moves completely based on God's present influence in my life. I am so thankful that we serve a risen Christ who promises to be with us forever. I am even more thankful that this promise is not just words in a book, but it is an absolute reality. I truly believe that God is using these steps of faith to write a story with my life that is beyond my wildest imagination!

I ask that you partner with me in prayer over this next week for guidance and wisdom as I plan to transition to Southern California. I hope to have a clear direction by this weekend, but I also know that my time frame is not always on track with God's. Thank you for all of your prayers and I look forward to sharing my next step with you very soon!

Camo, Face-Paint, and Jesus.....



The majority of my time this past week was spent dressed in camouflage, wearing face-paint, and lugging a 12-gauge shotgun through the woods. Each hunt ended with disappointment. You could hear the turkey in the distance, but could never get close enough to get a shot off...

During this process, I began to see that many spiritual lessons can be learned through hunting. The main one, obviously, was patience. Perseverance played a close second.

Last night, as James would say, "Patience had her perfect work". This particular evening was different than the rest.

Instead of sitting in the same location as we had been all week, we (my brother and I) decided to hike up a very steep ridge and try to find these turkeys. I did not enjoy this hike. It was a warm day, I had beads of sweat/paint dripping down my face, and I knew that we were not going to see any turkeys. Pessimism creates a wall that blinds us from our surroundings.

After grumbling and complaining to myself all the way up the ridge, we made it to the top, and I stood in complete awe. I was correct about the lack of turkey, but God wanted to show me something different. The view from the top of this ridge was breathtaking! We never would have seen this marvelous site had we not made the treacherous climb. After silently repenting, I sat down and began to breath in the beauty of God's creation.  I was so focused on my destination that I had been missing the beauty of the journey. 

After around 30 minutes, we decided to head back down to our normal spot. We made it down with about an hour of daylight left. As we sat there, I was counting down the minutes in my head until we could leave. I felt that God had shown me what He wanted to, and now I could go. But God was not finished. All of the sudden my brother taps me and whispers, "get your gun up!".  

There he was, 50 yards away, my destination. The Lord provided a "turkey" in the thicket. It was as though we had a magnet that was pulling this bird toward us. Then he walked behind a tree and we lost sight of him. After a very long minute, he walked around the other side of the tree, and I took the shot. Needless to say, we will be frying turkey this week...

We can become so wrapped up in our destination, that we miss the beauty of the process. The journey is not always enjoyable, but there is an underlying joy in every circumstance. We are not alone. Jesus goes with us. 

Over the past year I have noticed that things do not always turn out the way I had hoped, or thought that they would. Sometimes the exact opposite happens! We feel like we hear God lead us toward something, we pursue that calling, and then we end up somewhere different. Do we get discouraged and think that we are unable to hear the Lord? Do we give up on the things we feel God is calling us toward? How do we know when to let go or keep pressing on? I do not know all of the correct answers. But these things I do know...

I refuse to let my dreams die. I say 'NO' to discouragement. I press on. If I fail, then I fail. If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong. My decisions are no longer shaped by the 'What ifs'.  I continue to joyfully pursue all that I feel God calling me toward. I stop focusing on my destination, and I choose to breath in the beauty of this journey with Jesus. I no longer fear failure because Jesus already succeeded. I must go until He comes. I won't stop until He stops me. I delight myself in Him, not because I want him to give me my desires, but because He is just that good. He always provides. He knows what I need more than I do. He is a perfect Abba. He is not just a good thought to me. He is my reality. If I hear Him say something, my answer is always "Yes". If I hear wrong, so what. He is Redeemer. He is limitless. He is Abba.

The Decision Has Been Made - I am a Disciple of His.

The following quote is an excerpt from a book I am currently reading. A young pastor from Zimbabwe wrote this in a note prior to his martyrdom for his faith in Jesus....


      "I’m part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit’s power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made - I’m a disciple of His. I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I’m finished and done with low living, sight walking, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, worldly talking, cheap giving, and dwarfed goals.
I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don’t have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by faith, am uplifted by prayer, and I labor with power. 
My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way rough, my companions are few, my Guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the enemy, pander at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
I won’t give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, preached up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work till He stops me. And, when He comes for His own, He will have no problem recognizing me...my banner will be clear!"


May this statement be sounded over a generation that is longing to step into their destiny. 

We were created to dream..

Let us Go until He Comes.

Back from Asia!

Friends!

Our time in Asia was amazing. It is hard to be believe it is already over! God moved in amazing ways in and through our team during this 7 week journey. I was so blessed to travel with such a radical group of people. I wish I had time to write down everything that happened during this trip, but here is a brief (very brief) overview....


                  Our first two weeks were spent in Newport Beach, CA. We taught in a Korean Business DTS and spent time with friends who have planted themselves there long term to contend for a move of God in Southern California. We loved our time in California and are excited for future partnership with all that is happening there!....From California we flew to Seoul, Korea. It is hard to put into words how blessed we were in Korea. I have a lot to learn from the Korean culture when it comes to hospitality! During our first week we worked with different staff and leaders of a large church in Seoul. We were involved in many hours of prayer ministry and worship. This week was definitely a highlight of the trip. The hunger for God in Korea is astonishing! Our last night in Korea was spent at a different church. They were holding a worship conference, and Aaron was invited to teach and lead worship. During the last service, myself and Aaron's 9 yr. old son Jacob were able to pray over a couple hundred people during worship. It was a very powerful time, one that I will never forget....After Seoul, we spent a week on the Jeju Island. Aaron taught in the school of worship on the YWAM base. This was a very refreshing week for us after a busy week in Seoul. We loved getting to know the people on base in Jeju and building relationships with them....After Jeju we spent two weeks at the Battambang YWAM base in Cambodia. Our first week there was spent teaching in the DTS. Our second week was spent teaching in the Phase 2 school. We also were able to go into some villages to pray as well. We spent our last week in Bangkok, Thailand. We stayed with an amazing missionary couple who have been in Thailand for 22 years. They gave us amazing insight into the city. We were able to visit some different ministries throughout the city which was a great experience. If you would like to know more details of our trip feel free to email or call me!



I am currently back in Kona, however, tonight I will be flying to Knoxville. There are some amazing opportunities ahead of me for this next season! I have the opportunity this summer to move to the Huntington Beach area in California. It is not completely set it stone yet, but it is a strong possibility that this will be my next step. The family that I just traveled with are moving there and will be establishing a community house that will partner with the local church as well as our YWAM friends to contend for a move of God in Southern California. I would be involved with the Circuit Rider crew doing University outreaches and staffing the Circuit Rider training schools this summer in LA. I would also have the opportunity to partner with many different houses of prayer in the greater LA area seeking after revival in America. We have YWAM friends planted in Pasadena at the U.S. Center for World Missions as well who are plowing away 24/7 to see God move in California. They are in close partnership with Lou Engle and The Call ministry. The opportunities are endless! Your prayers during this time of transition are so valuable to me. I am still seeking the Lord for a full release of direction and I look forward to sharing with you very soon the full plan for this next season!

Also, I will no longer have my personal mailbox in Kona. All support and donations by check can still be sent to the following address with my name and account number (5884) on a sticky note (Make checks out to UNKF):

                                   UNKF

                                   Kailua-Kona, HI 96740

Thank you so much for all of your prayers and support! 

Blessings,

Cambodia Update


Friends! 

I want to bring you a brief update from my time here in Cambodia. We arrived just over a week ago in Battambang. Our team is staying at a house that the YWAM base uses for their School of Biblical Studies. It is a 10 minute walk from the base. 

Last week was spent teaching in the DTS. We taught on freedom and living a life of intimacy with Jesus in presence of God. It was a privilege to be able to minister in their school during the last week before they left for a two week outreach. We believe each student received personal breakthrough. We are trusting their personal breakthrough will become a corporate breakthrough for the base! 

This week we are spending two days with the Phase 2 school on base. Today I had the honor of teaching on healing. After the teaching we went out into the streets and did evangelism. One man gave his heart to Jesus and many others received prayer for healing! The students did an amazing job of interacting with people on the streets. 

Tomorrow our team will be going to a village around 30 minutes away to pray and love on the people of the village. I am really looking forward to our time there. We have been blessed to travel around and see this amazing land.

We leave Battambang on Saturday and will spend the weekend in Siem Reap. On Monday we will head to Thailand for our last week. Please be in prayer for our time there. We are still working out the details for our last week. 

Thank you so much for all of your prayers and support over this outreach! We have seen God release massive breakthrough each place we have been! It has been a very encouraging time for our team. I look forward to sharing a more detailed update once I get back to states and have some down time.

Blessings!

From Cali to South Korea!

Friends,
      Here is a brief update from the past few weeks!

Our two weeks in California were amazing. We connected with many friends and were able to capture a glimpse of God's heart for southern California.  God is moving on university campuses and also awakening the local church to press in for revival! I am excited to be more involved in the future with His work in that area of our nation! I believe it is a pivotal location for true revival to spread across America.

We are now currently in Seoul, South Korea and have been here for a few days.  Our first day was spent ministering to one of the worship ministries at Onnuri church. Aaron taught on desperation and passion in our worship. We followed the teaching with a time of prophetic prayer ministry over each individual. The Holy Spirit moved and brought loads of encouragement to their team. It was a very fruitful day!

Yesterday was spent with around 50 staff members of the church's recovery ministry. Myself and Emily shared our testimonies of encountering the Lord's freedom and then the rest of the day was spent in freedom prayer/ministry over each staff member. The Lord moved in powerful ways and truly blessed each person we ministered to. He brought encouragement and freedom to many lives yesterday. We were super blessed to be vessels for the Lord to speak through.

I am looking forward to the remainder of our time here in Korea! Keep our team in your prayers. We are here in Seoul for a few more days and then will head to the Jeju Island the first of next week. I will try to post another update before we leave for Thailand and Cambodia. Be blessed!

Southern California

Friends! I am currently in Southern California with our team! We have been here four days now. Already we can feel the stirring of the Spirit over this area of our nation. We have spent most of our time up to this point with some friends who have planted themselves here long term. It's been a very encouraging time of listening to story after story of God pouring out His Spirit in the LA area. Just a couple of days ago, our friends in Pasadena prayed for a man in a wheelchair, he was healed and pushed his wheelchair home! That is one of the many testimonies of God's power being released through willing vessels yielded to the Spirit's leading.

Yesterday, we took a short trip to the University of Southern California. Our friends here are doing amazing things in the universities. God is raising up students who are willing and ready to lay their lives down for the Gospel! After leaving USC, we traveled to U.S. Center for World Missions to meet up with our friends there. We prayed together in Mott Auditorium for God to raise up a student volunteer missions movement that would send young missionaries to the hardest and darkest places of the earth. There is a conference taking place in Mott Auditorium on Feb. 1st and 2nd that is head up by Lou Engle and Brian Kim (IHOP). It's called the Wilder Conference. For more details on what that looks like and the vision behind it, you can visit Wildertour.com. Many believers across the nation are praying for this event, and believing the Lord to send student volunteer laborers into the harvest to complete the Great Commission. 

We have 10 days left here which will be filled with ministering/teaching at a local YWAM base, partnering with a local church, and running along side our friends who are planted here. I am so excited for the rest of our time here as well as in Asia. I will be posting another update near the end of our time here in SoCal. Please continue to pray for us for guidance, boldness, and the Lord's provision financially. Thanks so much for partnering with us during this journey!

One Week Away!

    A Tennesseean, a South African, and a Jamaican are sitting together at a Starbucks in Hawaii.....It sounds like the beginning line of a joke, but it was an actual event last night. I find it so interesting how God connects people from across the globe. We all three come from a very different background/culture, but yet we get along so well because of one common factor, Jesus. In Him we live and move and exist....

    One week from today (1/15) I will be leaving Kona for the first leg of our trip! The first stop will be in Orange County for two weeks. Our time will be spent working with a local church, ministering/teaching in a DTS, and doing evangelism on college campuses. We are very excited about this first part of our trip, we believe God is going to do amazing things in and through us.

    On the 28th we will fly to Seoul, South Korea. The first 5 days will be spent in Seoul, followed by a 5 day trip to the Jeju Island. We will be partnering with a church in Seoul and then going to Jeju to minister/teach at the YWAM base there. Please pray with us for open doors during our time in both of these locations.

    We fly into Thailand on Feb. 11th. Once we land, we will head straight to Cambodia. Our first few days there will be spent teaching/ministering in a DTS in Battambang. We will spend a couple weeks in Cambodia serving at the YWAM base as well as going into the local communities with the Gospel. Our last week will be spent in Thailand, and then I will return to Kona on March 4th.


    Please partner with us in prayer for our time in these nations. I am traveling with a team of 7 adults and 3 children. Your prayers for our health and travel mercies are so appreciated! Also pray that the power of the Gospel would be released in each of these nations. We are so blessed to be able to partner with God in seeing His glory fill the earth. I will post updates as often as possible. God bless!
