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!
