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!
